To make such a stitch, you need to insert a needle into the upper right corner of the cell on the diagram, put beads on the needle of the desired shade and insert the needle into the lower left corner of the same cell.
When embroidering with beads using this method, it is importantmake sure that the beads always lie at the same angle.

No less common is the method of embroidery with beads in attachment. This is a fairly quick method of embroidery with beads. For a craftswoman who is embroidering an icon or a picture for the first time, this method is easier, because there is no need to monitor the angle of the beads. But when embroidering using this method, you must pay attention to not tightening the thread too much, which will lead to tightening of the fabric. If you have chosen the wrong beads, then when embroidering using this method, you can deform the canvas, as a result of which the icon or picture will not turn out as you intended.
There is also a third method of bead embroidery,which craftswomen often use when embroidering their works. This method is called forward needle. The beads are not placed close to each other, but at a small distance. This method is not suitable for embroidering all pictures or icons, since there are empty spaces in the pattern. In this regard, the method of bead embroidery with a back stitch is more practical, the beads are laid more neatly and there are significantly fewer empty spaces between the beads.
