The Stitcher’s Five
1. Which type of beads do you prefer Mill Hill, Delica or other brand?
Don’t really have a preference – I’ll use whatever’s called for. Although, I have seen some lovely looking beads by Gutterman (the thread people) that I’ve been dying to try.
2. Why?
The Gutterman one’s just look lovely – and better packaging than Mill Hill – I always lose more than I use with them!
3. What do you use to stitch beads on with?
Oh the eternal question. I really don’t know. I tried some of that invisible thread on one piece and I HATED it. I thought it looked far too thick and horrid. Since then, I’ve used ordinary DMC, though I have toyed with the idea of using regular sewing thread.
4. When to bead..as you go or at the end?
At the end. Or else they get caught in my hoop.
5. Do you bead only with cross stitch or do you use them on their own?
Only with cross stitch so far. Though I do have a pattern for a mini-cushion that’s just beads.
