This method of embroidery is really universal. You can embroider with beads, both on clothes and on canvas. Even the most pretty outdated blouse can turn into a work of art. Modern embroidery is a combination of the use of different decorative elements: cords, fur pieces, colored threads. In other words, masterpieces are created from improvised means.
How to sew with beads on fabric?
Embroidery on a cut fabric has its own difficulties. For example, sooner or later you will have to wash the product. Before you start embroidery, it is better to wash the fabric and see how it behaves. Beads, too, should be checked: it will not fade after washing, as will behave when ironing. For embroidery on fabric, it is better not to use a transparent bead, it simply will not be visible against the background of cutting the fabric.
If you decide to decorate a piece of clothing, never strike sharp-pointed beads, other decorative elements. Sequins will always cling to everything, they can also spoil the fabric. To store clothes with different triangular elements, it is better to shift them with paper or cloth. You can do otherwise. Flowers, embroidered with beads, just remove before washing clothes. To do this, you just need to embroider the pattern on a separate piece of fabric.
An excellent assistant in this matter has always been considered hoop. We pull the fabric and work with it without problems. If you want to embroider an element on a small piece that you just can not pull on the embroidery frame, it should be "extended" to a wider section.
What kind of thread to embroider with beads?
When we learn how to embroider beads, we pay special attention not only to the quality of the beads, but also to the threads. It is best to select the thread for the color of the fabric, then they will not be noticeable. For work you will need a special bead needle.
Important is the process of securing the thread on the wrong side. Keep in mind that the nodules on the wrong side should not be at all. Fix the thread better with a few stitches in one place.
Before learning how to embroider beads, you will have to master the art of drawing. The matter is that before the beginning of work drawing put on a fabric. It is much easier if you have a ready-made drawing, which you can simply transfer to the cut-off of the canvas using copying paper. This method has only one drawback: when you transfer the sketch to the fabric, carbon paper often fouls the last.
In order to avoid such problems, you can use the second method. This method is called "piercing." The contours of the picture are pierced with an awl. Next, attach the pierced pattern to the tissue and treat it with a cotton swab with chalk. As a result, a small dot pattern is formed on the fabric.
It is more difficult to learn how to embroider with beads on knitwear, since this fabric is more "capricious". To transfer the pattern to the cloth, attach a napkin with a sketch and stitch it on the typewriter. Threads should differ in color from the tone of the fabric. Next, gently tear off the napkin.
Learning to embroider with beads
All pillows, embroidered with beads, garments and paintings are executed approximately equally. All beads can be attached in several ways. A large bead can be attached using a shallow one. In the hole of a large bead we pass the thread and from above we string the small one. Then thread the thread in the opposite direction through the hole of a large bead, so the small bead lies sideways and holds the whole structure.
It is more difficult to embroider a line of beads. Preferably, each bead is attached separately. We thread the thread on the front side and string the bead, then make the stitch back. Next, make such a stitch on the wrong side without a bead in the opposite direction. Thus, a dense line of beads is made.
