Hello all. I know this isn't the proper forum to be using to make my first introductions, but since I will be reading posts here primarily, I wanted to say my greetings here.

I have been beading for almost a year and a half now, and I love it. I do all sorts of arts and crafts, but beading has kept my interest for a while now.

One thing I do want to find out from others who have used the peyote stitch, is if their pattern twists? For example, if I was beading the letter "I", the completed look of it would be at an angle and not straight up and down. I was told by a lady at my local bead store that this occurance was very common of that stitch. I have seen other peoples work, whose pattern stays straight up and down. What am I doing wrong/differently, or am I? I know that I do not pull the thread tightly to cause this, so I am not sure what to do. Any and all advise is much appreciated.
