Sewing on beads
#4
I don't know - sorry - but wonder how in the world that a quilter sewed on so many on a quilt that I saw in Paducah at the Quilters Museum a few years ago. All of the quilts were fastened/displayed on the walls - but one spectacular quilt was just hanging from the ceiling and had ropes around it so that you could walk around it. That is because, sewn on the back were 120,000+ Svorski crystals!!!!!
Yes, it was almost unbelievable.

Hope the instructions are clear enough.

Thank you. I just added one bead at a time, running a thread through the seam with little stitches that do not show. Now I am hooked on beading. I have lots pf beads from when my girls were hooked on making earrings. The bead district in NYC is intoxicating. I was surprised that I had to buy 25 bead needles at a time, but they seem to bend easily. Perhaps that is why. Please show us some of your work. TY
