sewing beads on cross stitch
Just wondering if there is a right way to stitch beads on cross stitch. Using full cross stitch so that the beads lay straight up and down or half cross stitch so that the beads lay diaagonally?.this is great to know as I have needle used beads on cross stitch before but want to make a biscournu which has beads on it. I havent made a biscornu before either so its going to be a couple of new challenges for me, i'm so excited I find that a full 'x' stitch works best too. gets a bit fiddly to put the second stitch through but if you use a fine point needle, it makes life a lot easier :) I have never done a full cross when attaching beads.I do use a basket stitch (behind) though for extra stability. Good question. I'm planning to replace few french knots with beads and was wandering for the best approach. c'est une affaire de gout , je prefere faire une croix aussi Muchas gracias por compartir !!! Thank you for sharing :) Thanks for the info! Thank you very much I always cross the stitches through the bead and I don't see it makes much difference to the finished product.I just want my beads secured well to the piece. There is no right or wrong way. It doesn't really matter which way you do it. I always use a full cross stitch because I like the beads to lay up and down versus on an angle. Thanks for your input. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have only used beads once and I used full cross stitch as well. Thanks so much for your input. I have always used a full cross stitch as well.I find that it makes the beads more secure.
