Hi this is Kat with beadaholique.com
and I am here to show you the Beadalon Tying Station Tool
now when you get your box, you'll get
the tying station which is this piece right here, you'll also get a
foam per plate to help you extend your work
and on the back of the box it will come with complete instructions for you as
well
so I'll show you how to use it. So for example
I have some knotting cord here that I've just started with an overhand knot
and what you're gonna wanna do with your tying station
is your gonna take a little wing nut at the top and just
and unscrew it and set it aside
and this top plate will come off and they'll be a washer on there as well to
help protect the
plastic. You just put your first loop
right over the top, put the plastic piece back
and the washer and then you'll simply
tighten the wing nut there
and you'll notice it's still loose and you can still move it. You just
tighten it
until it's
no longer loose and then your work should be secure
now moving to the ends
you'll do the same thing on this side. You'll just
unscrew the wingnut and that will come with a plastic piece and a washer
and what you'll do is I'll take my two short ends of my cord
put them to the side
and then you'll add your plastic,
your washer and the wing nut again
and
tighten it until
it's tight and good to go
and I'm so your cords won't move. Now let me show you just a couple of quick
macrame knots
that you might want to do with this type of thing. Do a couple of square knots
and let's say that you've completed
as many knots as you'd like to do but you've come all the way
down the end, you can use this ruler on the side as a guide
for how many inches, just keep in mind that your knot starts all the way up
here so if you want you can use this
that's one inch, two, three
depending on where your work is. So if you wanna use the extender piece to save
your work
you just open this up
and set it aside. Open this one up as well
set that aside
take your work and move it up
take your foam piece
you'll see there's a hole in the bottom and a hole in the top
just line it up, squish it down on top
you'll add your second piece,
your plate and add your wing nut on top
to keep it tight
now if your work is thicker you don't need this second plate
you can just add the washer to this plate and tighten your wing nut
and your work is secure but not damaged because of the foam
then you'll just come back down here and repeat
until this side is
secure again
so you can continue your knotting and continue working on your project. If you
wanted to do a wrap bracelet this is really great for holding your work in
place
so there you have it, that is the Beadalon
tying station.
