Introduction to Bead Embroidery will guide you through the essential stitches and techniques used to sew beads onto fabric. Using seed beads, bugle beads, and shaped beads, you’ll create a bead-embroidered mandala you can display. We’ll also explore how to choose the right threads, needles, and bead types for a smoother stitching experience. Whether you’re an experienced embroiderer wanting to add dimension and texture to your work or a beginner who’s curious about beadwork, this class will offer a great introduction.Â
Pre-requisites: Some comfort with needle and thread work is helpful, but not necessary.
