would this be good for native beading?

I don't know much about native beading, but it certainly has all you would need, probably more than you would use for native beading. Of course, it would also depend on how elaborate your work is. Like I said earlier, it has all you would need.

Absolutely not! This is strictly meant for small jewelry projects! I'd check your local hardware store!

If you have a clamp/vise this will work well for soft plastic beads. This is for a sure a 2 handed operation.

I cannot say for sure, I have not tried it on beads. Beads tend to roll around and it is possible to lose several, but may work for tiny beads such as seed beads. I have tried to use it on larger jewels (8-10mm) and they tend to fall off quickly.

I depends on what you are making, I use tiny seed beads #11, you can use any size bead you have to thread the loom skipping some spaces for larger beads.

LOL, you have contacted another bead lover! Actually, I just got out a tube of beads to try in the holder and it works just great! Never thought of it... THANKS :) (I used mine for lipsticks)

Oh no darling. This one takes a magnifier with the instructions. It arrives pre-threaded, and I suggest you take well lit photos of this with the panel open to see how its threaded. This way you can refer to them rather than the instructions, as one of the illustrations is slightly inaccurate. There is a learning curve to this, but if you are patient and follow the instructions along with your photos, you should be fine. The mistakes I've made are from the threads getting hung up at the spools. Attention to detail is a must with operating one of these, and double check the steps. This must be threaded in a specific order, or it won't work. It does work well, but takes some acclimation. Don't get discouraged. If I had the money, I would have bought a Bernina (made by Juki), or something that is easier to thread. I don't use it enough to warrant a thousand, or two, dollar investment. I got this one at a black friday deal.

I think it would probably work well, it's not ultra thick, but did have nice stability. If you have any embossing/burning it should hold the design nicely. The price was pretty good, which is always a bonus when costuming.

This might be overkill, or flat-out awkward, for this specific use. Based on a youtube search for "bead drilling" to see what others use, you'll likely want a light duty rotary tool or bead reamer for harder materials or a pin vise for things like polymer clay. You might consider a jeweler's push drill like this: Jeweler's Small 3-1/2" Push Drill for Micro Bits 0.20mm to 1.0mm

To make a bead cusion you would have to shape each wood bead with a turning lathe and then drill each one and then thread them together. It seems like a lot of work to save fifteen dollars. Orin P

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

Although I haven't used it for my beading supplies, it appears that it would be great! I'm a porcelain artist teacher, and I use it for transporting those supplies. I LOVE it! I also do bead work, and would not hesitate to use it for that.

This glaze goes on very thick, and is not as durable as either of the other options you mention. The glaze is self-leveling and very glossy, perfect for flat or low-relief pieces, but not so sure it would hold up to the abrasion the paper beads might be subjected to.

I would. The brushes are great for designs, the dotting tools have a wide variety of sizes & everything has held up very well since I got mine about a year ago. Great quality.

Beading as in making necklaces? Anything will work for that. I'm not sure I know what beading you are talking about.

I think this would be the tool I would select if I was doing beads, shells and etc. around the home, because: it handles easily, has variable speed, keeps its charge (Li-ion batteries) and runs a long time. But if I was doing this as a business, I would invest into a heavy duty tool and put into a drill press type fixture (they have them on Amazon, take a look) for better durability and control. I hope this answers your question, if not ask again.

It is okay for most applications, however, I found it did not last long enough to maintain the "bite" needed for fiddling. I suggest you try something "softer", but watch the residue build up. You could try a cello rosin. I haven't tried it yet. I use Bernadel violin rosin, and like it very much.
