Thank you guys so much. I was so confused. I'd been using thread without a built in needle but since I'm starting over, I'm going to do it double-threaded this time around. I'm pretty new to pearls but this forum's been such a great resource. I'm pretty excited about this bracelet, I bought some really gorgeous lavender strands from Majestic (about 6mm, near round) and I'll post some pictures once I've finished.

I'm planning on making a keshi rope with vermeil spacers. If I hide the knots with the spacers, I still have to finish it off, cutting the thread and zapping it. Is it possible for the thread zapper to ruin the spacer? I know it's of short duration, but vermeil is pretty much just a thicker gold plated silver. The melting points are pretty close, as it says it goes up to 1200 deg, I'm hoping Farenheit. I don't know if the silver will hold up.

Raison, try on a spacer all by itself first.
