I have not used beads in my lace very often, but I find that bugle beads - the long slim ones - often cut the thread when I am beading! And that is nylon beading thread. I think that bugle beads are cut from a tube and, unless they are very good quality, have sharp edges. It doesn't seem to happen with other beads, which seem to be finished better. Of course you can get an occasional bead with a chip, but that is very rare. It is bugle beads which I tend to avoid, even in beading.

Please tell: What size & type of beads were being used? And what size & type of thread was being used?
