"I believe this is the best for Native American beading! No need to wax, zero fraying, and the cost is average. This will be my go-to thread from now on!"

"After years of beading, I tried FireLine for the first time and it's quite different. It doesn't tangle and maintains its shape. I’m impressed with its strength and smooth feel."

"I absolutely love this product; it’s very much unbreakable!"

"I find this string to be so nice, stretchy, and comfortable on my wrist. The only downside is that it sometimes forms a tiny knot after tying it a few times, but overall, I really enjoy it and would recommend it to anyone who loves crafting. I make bracelets daily and still have more than half a roll left!"

“I purchased this to fix my daughter's bracelet, and it worked really well! I made sure to add a bit of superglue to the knot for extra security, and it held up beautifully. It's definitely a great value for the price.”

“I previously bought this brand and was very satisfied, so I ordered the same again. However, the new spool seems to be thicker than what I expected, making it difficult to create the flowers I intended. The stretch and elasticity just aren’t the same as before, which is disappointing.”

"I used this for camp kids, and while some bracelets untied, the ones I tied lasted for months without issues. Just remember to tighten those knots!"

"I bought this to create Wicked-themed bracelets with my granddaughter. It was a breeze to work with, and the thickness was just right for smaller beads. I added a drop of nail polish on the knots for extra security!"

“I find this product super helpful for arts and crafts and for various random tasks around the house, plus it adds a nice touch to gift decor!”

“My girls are using it to create bracelets. The ends do fray a bit, but I expected that. We use a beading tool to help string the beads, preventing the ends from separating too much, and we tie a knot at the end for the sliding knot.”

“This wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it definitely works for making necklaces. I would recommend it, although it feels a bit thin compared to the original string I had.”
