Yay! I'm glad it finally worked out for you. And only one plier-throwing incident. Not bad.

(I feel partially responsible for the frustration, since, if I remember correctly, I did totally forget to tell you about the edging being a different size or something)
So, yes, answering the last question - two different sizes are used. The larger of the two sizes she listed were used for the edging.
The bracelet is stunning. Great job!
