I am new to bracelect making and have taught myself mostly from instructions here and videos on youtube, but even though I measure each string the same lenght, I always have threads that end up extremely shorter than the others...any tips on hoe to fix this issue or why it happens? It is usually the background color and I have wasted a lot of thread and time only to end up with have a bracelet...Please help!

The reason is that some threads are used more often as an overlapping thread than other threads.

Thanks that helps, but how do I know which threads should be cut longer? I looked at your example but still do not really understand how I know which threads need to be longer...thanks again! |

Ok I think I figured it out the more knots being made with that color means it needs to be longer?? Thank you again. |

Also, for alphabet patterns (see Stephan's tutorial), you will want to make the background thread about 150 in. (375 cm). Trust me--I learned the hard way. |
