I read your instructions on attaching beads - thank you!
Do you knot the thread before and after? Or do you just secure the thread ends through the cross stitch on the back? Also, should you do them at the very end, or as you work through each quarter piece?
I am VERY new to beading, so any feedback/helpful tips are appreciated!

I am doing the needlework entitled "Earthdancer" by butternut road.
I purchased the 28 count prairie grain linen the pattern called for and also the beads called for. I am having a problem. It looks like the beads do not fit or maybe I am putting them on wrong. The first 3 rows of the necklace went well but they overlap now and I don't seem able to get them to fit. I can't find anyone in my area that can help me. If anyone out there has done this work or knows how to bead would you please help me.
thank you so much.

As L. Corrigan (Canada) I am doing the needlework entitled "Earthdancer" by butternut road.
I purchased a 28 count linen in a sky blue and also the beads called for. I am having the same problem as L. Corrigan. It looks like the beads do not fit.
I'm not sure also that I am doing this correctly. The first couple of rows of the necklace went well but they overlap now and don't seem to "sit" right. I don't seem able to get them to fit. Do you have any tips or techniques that could help me. If anyone out there has done this work or knows of how to bead would you please help me.
Thanks!!!

Hi there,
I am a complete novice when it comes to embroidering. Since I have access to pearls in all sizes I want to try to sow them to the black abaya (overcoats) all ladies have to wear in Saudi Arabia. Some of them are just gorgeous with stones and sequences. What is the best stitch to use to attach pearls to garments please?
Thank you for the excellent site.
Best regards from the land of sand
Anton

I need to attach my beads to my finished cross stitch but I'm not sure how. It says, "all beads are attached with a cross stitch. Go through each bead twice so it lay vertically."
Would you have a picture sample? the beads are so small and they want to use two strands. Go through each treasure twice so that the channeled hole lays vertical.
