HANNAH, EDITOR
This really is a stitcher’s challenge
you’ll enjoy taking your time over! You’re
going to feel such a tremendous sense of
accomplishment when you put the final
stitch into such an elaborate project.To attach your beads, use a whole cross stitch to help keep the
beads upright and create a consistent finish. Attach the bead to the
design with the bottom arm of a cross stitch and then add the top
arm of the stitch, making sure that one strand of thread falls on
either side of the bead to help hold it upright (picture, far right).add seed
