Beads can add a wonderful touch to your cross-stitch project. They bring
dimension and beauty to any needlework. However, there are some things
you need to know about beads so you can make sure they are appropriate
for your project. There are also some tips you can use to ensure that
cross stitching with beads is fun rather than frustrating.
1. Keep the Color Consistent
When working with beads you may wonder which floss to use, and you
actually have a number of options depending on your design. You can
match the floss to the color of the bead. You can also match the floss
to the color of the fabric. Your third option is to purchase a special
thread that is clear and designed specifically for attaching beads.
2. Use the Right Needle
Most of the beads you will use in your cross-stitch project are seed
beads. These beads are very tiny and require a thinner needle. If your
needle is too thick you will probably break a number of the glass beads.
If you are using longer, bugle beads you can use a size10 beading
needle.
These are long needles that allow you to string a number of beads on the
needle at once. However, if poking yourself is an issue, use a size 10
tapestry needle. The ball-point will not stab you, but the needle is
best for stitching on one bead at a time.
3. Use the Stitch That Works Best
When you stitch your bead on your fabric, you actually have a number of
ways to stitch the bead depending on how you want it to lay on the
fabric. For instance, if you want your bead to lie diagonally, you
should use a half stitch. You would come up from the back of the fabric
in the bottom, left corner, slip on the bead, and then bring the needle
down through the top right corner.
However, you may also want your bead to lie vertically, so you would use
a full cross-stitch. For a full stitch you will start like you would for
beading on diagonal, but once you complete the half stitch, you bring
the needle back up through the bottom, right corner, slip the needle
through the bead again, and bring the needle down through the top, left
corner.

4. Test Your Beads
Most of the beads you will use for your cross-stitch projects are glass
beads where the color goes through the glass. Once in a while, though,
you may like the look of another bead. You will need to check that bead
to see if the color is in the glass or if it just has a coating on the
outside of the bead. While the coating may look nice, it is not meant to
last, and the color could chip off and ruin the effect of your project.
Also, if you plan to wash your project, the beads will definitely lose
the coating.
You can test the beads by putting them in your hands and rubbing your
hands together. Check for flakes or pieces of color that come off. You
can also put them into acid to see if the color comes off.
5. Check the Manufacturer 's advice
For the most part, the glass beads you use can be washed and ironed.
However, you should always check with the manufacturer first. Still, if
you do choose to iron your project, remember that glass can get very
hot. So you should always use a thick towel under the project. Put your
cross-stitch face down on the towel and cover it with a cloth. Make sure
your iron is set correctly for your fabric.

Kids love patches and appliqués to dress up a plain sweater, jersey or
even a t-shirt and make it different than everyone else’s !
Fix those worn spots on jeans knees with a cross stitch patch for
something a little different.
These designs create a fun look on kid's clothes (and even adults
clothes !). |
