Thanks for the information

thank you! I personally use this method as the beads tend not to move and all lie in the same direction :
When using two strands of floss, first make the bead secure with your Half Cross-Stitch, and then finish the stitch without traveling through the bead a second time allowing your threads to lay on either side of the bead.
