Start by waxing and stretching your thread. Tie in a “stopper” bead, leaving about a 8-10” tail and begin at step #1.
STOPPER BEAD
Pick up the stopper bead; slide it down to the end of your working thread, leaving at least an 8-10” tail. With the thread, make a loop over your stopper bead, bringing the left end thread over and through the back of the right hand thread. Pull up ends so the thread is snug around the stopper bead. When you are done, you can pull off the stopper bead by putting the blunt end of your needle through the bead and pull it off by sliding down the thread tail.
