2. Are there lots of patterns that can be done with with this technique and the seed beads?

3. What size beads are you using in your tutorial? Is it possible to do it with size 11/0 and size 8/0?

Maybe these questions will help other people besides me

Thanks for taking time to answer my questions.

Hi!
I appreciate all the questions.
Yes there is pre-stringing. I've never used a bead spinner so maybe it may make the pre-stringing go faster. It doesn't take long to string the beads.
I'm using #8 japanese seed beads in this tutorial. You can use smaller beads, like the delicas or even #15s.
As far as the patterns go, I show a 2 color spiral in this tutorial, but I encourage you to play with color combinations.
Hope this helps.
Thank a bunch!
J.
