So I've made my first beaded project from tiny beads and an online tutorial, using elastic thread because it lent itself way more easily to the task than the stiff thread.

Then I read that elastic thread degrades and breaks over quite a short amount of time actually, whoops! I tried starting another fish with stiff thread and I'm DYING, the rows look like shit, it's so much harder. Apparently you have to be a master of tension control and I'm not...yet. Any tips or general advice?

P.S. What diameter of Fireline is best for 11/0 beads?
