We create beauty with our own hands:bead embroidery In this article we will tell you how to embroider with beads correctly and show in detail what is needed for this. So let's get started. Before you begin the embroidery process itself, you need to stretch the canvas with the pattern in a wooden frame, using buttons. There is an option for embroidery on a rectangular hoop. If the hoop you have on hand is too large in diameter, then you can attach fabric strips along the edges.The most convenient way to complete the embroidery process istable Cover the work surface with a light-colored fabric. In this case, if the beads suddenly fall off the needle, you will immediately see them and pick them up. It is very important to work with brightly colored beads, because working with them is very painstaking and requires good eyesight. We can pour the beads themselves onto the fabric itself in small portions or use a saucer. Beads can be poured in small piles directly onto the fabric, or used in saucers, a plastic dish with divided compartments, or simple matchboxes. The last option is one of the most attractive, because you can easily close such a box if you want to temporarily put aside embroidery.We recommend taking embroidery threads from nylonmaterial or cotton, which should be medium in thickness. You need to embroider with one thread. White, light gray, and beige shades are well suited for embroidery on light fabric, but for dark fabric or single-color beads it is better to take a thread of the same shade. Colored threads may have poor quality dyeing. This must be believed before the embroidery process begins. When working with gold-colored beads, gray threads work well. To prevent the thread from tangling during work, you can try treating it with wax, but here it is important not to exceed the permissible standards, otherwise the wax will stain the fabric. A thread that is too long can twist and cause inconvenience when embroidering. When securing the thread to the fabric, you must try not to make large knots. Starting to make a seam, you need to make a small knot on the thread, sew the fabric from the wrong side, moving to the front part. then we secure our thread with a small backstitch. This must be done in such a way that the knot does not pass onto the front part. You can also secure the thread to the front of the fabric by sewing several small stitches across at one point, which you will later cover with beads. It is correct to use long and thin needles for working with beads. It is better to choose needles number 10 or 12. To make it easy for you to thread the thread into the eye of the needle, it is better to take a needle with a long slot that replaces the standard eye.Types of seams for working with beads:Seam "Monastery". In terms of the manner of execution, this type of seam is very similar to cross stitch techniques. We make the stitches diagonal, each stitch is equal to 1 bead. The vertical stitches come out from the inside. We fasten the thread with the needle, then pass the needle and thread onto the front part and string the bead of the color required according to the scheme. (Scheme 1)To move to the next row, you need to swipeneedle along the wrong side to the top or bottom and bring it to the front part in the upper corner of the square (Diagram 2). We string one bead and embroider further this row, but only in the opposite direction (Diagram 3, 4). When moving to the next row, you need to pass the needle through the wrong side diagonally to the required cell, and then bring the needle to the upper corner of the cell. Seam “Lowcase”. Each stitch made must be secured with one bead (Diagram 5). We bring the needle out from the wrong side between the 1st and 2nd bead marks, string the 1st bead and pass the needle in front of the 1st bead mark. Then we take the needle out from the wrong side between the 2nd and 3rd bead marks, string the 2nd bead and pass the needle between the 1st and 2nd marks. We bring the needle out from the inside out between the 3rd and 4th signs, string the 3rd bead and pass the needle between the 2nd and 3rd bead signs. Next we embroider, following the pattern shown on the fabric.Stem seam.We fasten the thread, thread the bead, thread the needle through the fabric and bring the needle out behind the bead, pass again through the already attached bead (Diagram 6). We string the next bead, insert the needle through the fabric behind the new bead and bring it out between the final and previous beads. We pass the needle through the attached bead, then string the next one. With this embroidery technique, the product comes out quite dense.“Arched” seam.This type of seam works best when there is no need for a tight connection between the beads and the fabric, or you do not want the product to have a rigid appearance. All stitches on the front part are secured with several beads, but we attach only one of the beads to the fabric, which is located at the intersection of the stitches (Diagram 7, 8).In various sets"Butterfly" There are paintings, the creation of which requires the use of circular embroidery. The creation of such canvases should begin with spiral embroidery, and then increase the size of the circle until its edge coincides with the edge of the painting canvas (Diagrams 8, 9).Then we embroider the picture in rows of half-bentcharacter, while filling the entire space of our product. With the circular method, it is better to use “lowercase” or “stalked” seams. We recommend embroidering rows that look half-bent using an “arched” stitch. (2 beads each). In diagram 10 you can see the wrong side of the product, where a stitch is used.
