Bead Embellished Embroidery - Beading on Existing Embroidery

[spunknugget]

run your needle back through the strings of beads, then couch over the threads between beads. You can couch over a couple rows at a time, and every couple beads at least, then the stuff is machine washable and will hold up like iron, and if a string breaks you aren't screwed.

Your so funny. That is really good. I just found this the today. My friend has an embroidery bus. here in Redding Ca. She is really good. She bought her own machine it's crazy looking. Cost a lot too. at least 20,000. Now she has a t-shirt press as well. But we are trying to get something going. Have been for a long time. We'll see. my health issues keep getting in the way. BYE.
