Training tools for embroidery with beads

Before working with the circuit, make sure that you have all the necessary tools and materials:

  • Canvas - special fabric for embroidery, whichweaving yarns forming cells. If the work takes the entire canvas - you can not lay a cloth and use a dense fabric of linen or cotton. Canvas of synthetics is better to use, if
    . If beadwork takes up a small space, it is better to place fabric under the canvas. After finishing the work, carefully pull out the threads of the canvas. If embroidery is done on fabric with a pile, place the canvas on the reverse side. It is also necessary to make stitches in such a way that the beads remain on the front side of the fabric;

  • Needles are also an important attribute in embroidery.beads Not every needle can work with beads, because most of them simply will not fit into its narrow hole. Make sure that you have a special needle for working with beads - the eye of which almost does not widen. It tends to break. Therefore, it is necessary to work with them especially delicately. Needles are identified by their numbers. Each number corresponds to a specific bead size. Be sure to buy spare needles in case you suddenly break a working one;
  • Get a thin thread, but at the same timestrong enough. They must withstand the weight of the beads and not tear upon contact with its scars and cuts. Due to the fact that many colors of beads are used in embroidery, choose a thread that matches the color of the canvas or base fabric. The thread must be secured to the canvas using stitches, without knots. Do not take the thread too long to avoid it getting tangled;
  • Beads should be the same size, shape, andhomogeneous surface. All necessary requirements corresponds to the Czech beads. It costs a bit more expensive than the Chinese, but it's worth it. It is sold by weight - one gram contains about one hundred beads of average size. Unlike the Chinese, he eventually loses color and their size is determined by the number - the higher it is, the smaller the beads;
  • Hoop - a necessary attribute
    .Using them helps to avoid unnecessary distortion of the fabric if you accidentally pull the thread so that the work is perfect. Keep in mind that the size of the hoop should exactly match the size of the embroidery so that there is no need to move it;
  • Auxiliary tools: sharp small scissors, a ruler, an awl or needle (to punch holes in the beads, which are clogged), a desk lamp.
  • How to fix the thread correctly


    Good final appearance of the finished workdepends on some seemingly small things. To secure the thread at the beginning of the work and at the end, try not to make huge knots. Both the face of the embroidery and the back must be perfect. Learn to attach the thread from the front side, where the beads or beads will hide it.
    You can secure the thread in different ways:

    • make a few cross stitches;
    • make one stitch that you want to poke a needle and thread to stitch work.

    If you are using monofilament - work with itIt is a bit more complicated. Plus, this thread is that it tends to drag on is not damaged, which is very good when you are finished, you need to fix the canvas (canvas in some places can pull off). To secure thread, double knot at the end, which will not allow the thread to pass through the warp. The first few beads sew twice. And also received with the last few beads. On the underside of the tip of the thread in the usual secure knot and hide it. It will be imperceptible, because the monofilament is very thin and transparent. And the face, and the reverse side will look perfect.

Having reached the end of the row, do the next one in the opposite direction. It is more convenient to start working from the top because the thread will not cling to already completed beads. But if it is more convenient for you to start from the bottom and move up, then do what is convenient for you.
    In the diagram, the number of cells is equal to the numberbeads in a row. To correctly calculate the required length of thread, measure a length five times greater than the width of the future pattern. To prevent the thread from getting tangled, measure the length of the work no longer than your elbow. Afterwards you can increase the size.
