The row shift is all the way on the right, second to last icon in the tool bar.

Whenever I design use software, I try to back up my files frequently to my computer and export them in common formats (like .pdf) so if I lose access to the software, I will still have my work. I hate to defend BeadTool4 because I understand how difficult it is to lose access to your work, but whenever I have had problems, their responses have been quick and helpful. I'm sorry your experience has not been as good.Lisa Yang Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851061995303198057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-80297550748565584022023-05-12T05:34:27.612-07:002023-05-12T05:34:27.612-07:00Beadtool4 Christopher still illegally has my patte...Beadtool4 Christopher still illegally has my patterns locked up and blocks any attempt to get him to fix or refund my product. Legit took my licensing away after I asked for a refund or product fixed with proof it does not work. No one has helped me reach out to him but defend him instead. Makes me sad no one in this circle helps others anymore.Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424379392280723685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-33862305647743702312023-05-01T10:47:25.150-07:002023-05-01T10:47:25.150-07:00Thank you!

It doesn't do that with other colors. I'm a fairly new beader. I don't know anything. I learned how to do ladder and brick stitch from Sister Beads on YouTube. I made some earrings using fireline 8 lb thread and the fringes are curling up every which way :D. What is the best thread for fringe earrings?

I think my latest 'a-ha' moment was how to open and close the hoops to the side like a jump ring rather than pulling them which was changing the shape. Once I realized that, I felt much better making these hoops.Lisa Yang Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851061995303198057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-82287315283341338092023-02-17T10:38:52.033-08:002023-02-17T10:38:52.033-08:00Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
