I've been trying out the new CzechMates 7mm 2-hole cabochons lately and I've been testing them with some patterns that I know work well with the 6mm 2-hole cabs. I've blogged quite a few times about the earrings that I've made with the 6mm cabochons. You can read some of my posts HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. I noted how the pattern works best with Miyuki seed beads but it turns out that Toho seed beads work better with these larger cabs. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the pattern when I made these earrings. For testing purposes, I also tried making one with Miyuki seed beads and they don't work at all with these larger 7mm cabochons.
