Beading question

[gegenschein.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone, sorry that this is text only.

I love beading and have been doing it for a few months, but one thing that I often have a problem with is that everyone says you're supposed to thread the beading wire back through the last bead - the one next to the crimp tube. I often use medium-strength wire, and most of the time the wire will not fit thru the hole in the last bead. In that case, I just cut the wire and put a crimp-cover around so the wire doesn't stick out and poke you. I also have trouble actually getting it in there, in general. What do you guys do to get the wire back thru the last bead? is there some trick I haven't learned or figured out yet? Please let me know, as I'd really like to know how to do this properly. Thank you!!
