Beading help please!

Hi,

I'm just starting my first big, beaded design - the Mirabilia queen mermaid.I'm using a scroll frame.

Should I add the beads as I go along or wait and bead at the end?

If I have to scroll the beads will they mark the fabric they're rolled under?

I always stitch the beads last of all.You're right about scrolling - you may loosen the stitching holding the beads.

And if you have to unpick anything - we all make mistakes!! - then you don't want to have to unpick the beads too.

I also leave mine til the end of the project.I'm always afraid of crushing the beads when using a hoop.

@SilkLuv could give you pointers on this she does amazingly beautiful bead work.She just finished a Mermaid that is incredible.

Beads should go the last, I think.
