Mill Hill - MH18-4306-Scottie-Beads

Bleu

A maybe stupid question,
Iam doing cross stitching during my whole live,
but this chart/key makes me despair.

There are symbols on the chart for stitch and beads
, and I never know, who to use it.
How do you see the stitch symbols under the bead symbol?
I am clueless how to stitch this, ans Scottie looks so nice.

thank you for any help   :)

I have never stitched with beads so I cant help you either. I hope somebody will help you to solve this problem soon. Good luck.
P.S. Scootie is really nice :loveliness:

this might be rude but i believe you gotta read the instructions. nothing more i can tell you is not on the instructions given by the company. I actually think mill hill has the most extensive notes out of other xstitch companies.

once youve seperated the floss, it shouldnt be that hard. do the all full xstitches first with three strands, then back stitches then beads. different beads use different colour floss.

have fun with Scottie!!

Since the key calls for like coloured thread under the same coloured bead, leave it blank, there is no stitch underneath, just the bead.   If you wish to stitch under the bead in a like colour of the bead then the decision is yours.   The fabric/plastic or paper weave should be covered with the bead.  Do a test on the side with and without the stitches and see if it covers enough to your liking.   But personally I would stitch the red under the red bead, black under the black bead and white and  so on.  Then I would go back over it with the thread colour and bead as the final step, preferring to do the backstitch before the beading.  

I hate when the fabric shows through behind the stitch or bead.  :)

Thank you LouAnna, now I see it clearer, I stitch it like you pointed.

Its interesting how they seem to be advising attaching a seed bead with a half stitch going through the bead once, and attaching the petite (smaller) bead with a full cross, going through the bead twice.  

I wonder if this is a coverage issue? Will you get white background showing though underneath the petite bead otherwise?

I hope it came out alright for you in the end.

I always make a full cross stitch just because it is the way I was taught.  It also seems to make the beads more stable in my opinion.
