Bead Embroidery Backing Stabilizer

Someone asked me what I used to bead on, and this is the stuff. Paint it, or dye it. Non woven synthetic made by Pellon. Great stuff.

I'm new to beading - could you tell me what a "backing stabilizer" would be needed for? How is it used? Thanks!

@Violet1974 Its used for bead embroidery. I'm working on a little piece for a spring handbag right now.

@crzycardmakr But...it's MY idea! You better give me credit for whatever you make with it! (gawd, you do know I'm kidding, right??)  I use watered down acrylic paint and a sponge brush (or dabber) to color the stuff, then let it dry completely, but any kind of fabric dye works great too. Or just leave it white if you want. Have fun!

Gosh...I wonder if I need to give the questioner credit for the question? If only I could remember who it was!

You have always been so down to earth and it is so enlightening. Thank you as always. Love the giggles!

@tsummerlee Actually I was just giving you credit this week about this, and I always enjoy watching your vids. Keep up the great work! Thanks

TC, I found this in my local fabric store too but would love to see if my WalMart carries it. It was on your channel that I first saw this and was able to figure out how to do the bead embroidery. I now have been doing bead embroidery for about a year now. I thank you so much for all the things you share as they make a world of difference to the newbies and not so newbies...
