They rely on tools for making and positioning the knots. When attempting to follow traditional techniques, people often find they cannot tie the knots, make good knots, get the knots close enough to the beads, nor centered between them.
How to attach the piece to the clasp gets simplified or glossed over.  Fortunately, Pearl Knotting doesn't need to be this hard.  Pearl Knotting...
