They have 10 nicely rounded 'cups'. I place a round bead in each section and pierce my beads from the top. The rounded pallet keeps the beads from getting flat on the bottom.

It also guides you in centering the hole at the other end. I have used the method that Christine suggested and it always works like a charm.

Here's another one: Pierce the bead only until you see a little bulge through to the other side. Then remove your piercing tool, and reenter the bead from the opposite side. Reduces the "deformation" factor. Cheers, Christine Wonderful tips Cindy.
