    I only really use 24 gauge if I am working with a bead(s) that have a smaller hole, or for more fragile beads that will break with thicker wires. For these, I make a few wraps around the mandrel for the band, rather than two or three for 20 -22 gauge wires. That will make the band more sturdy. Try not to cross your wires. The more wires in the band, the more tricky it becomes. Beginners should try to use 20 - 22 gauge soft wires. :O) I could go on for days....
