Question
How do you end and start thread when working with Peyote?

Answer
I add and end thread the same way.  I weave into the work to end thread until I feel comfortable that the last bead added will not come out.    I add thread weaving into the piece - in the general direction of where I want thread to come out at about 2-3 rows below where I want to be and I weave until I can't pull my tail thread out where I started it.  Then I thread to the place I want to start up at.
