@nubs personally I use long threads and I cut them at the end. And I put the left over in a jar so I can use is later (like on rag rug bracelet) plus it looks sooo cute
@Mckchick this pattern is pretty beginner friendly. I would say it shouldn't be your first bracelet though. I recommend the chevron #2 as your first bracelet. Maybe you could do a simple zig zag pattern like #7 before this one so you can practice fb and bf knots.
