intersecting lines
Can anyone give some advice on melting in intersecting lines when decorating beads with stringer. I just get big blobs where the lines intersect each other.
Thank you for you help!

Melt in the first line that you had laid down completely, before laying down the intersecting line.

Or heat the intersection, and pluck off the excess glass with tweezers. Do this before melting in, immediately after laying on the second line. (This is something that I learned from 'someone else'....can't remember who, unfortunately.)

If you're still having trouble, try using clear cased stringer. it'll stop the color rnning around on you and getting blobby, and if the casing is light it will hardly be noticable.
