Bead Embellished Embroidery - Beading on Existing Embroidery

A really short demonstration of beading on existing embroidery. Crazy easy.

This will work for hand embroidery, too! Highlight elements in your stich work with tiny shiny beads to add texture and sparkle.

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.
