When buying a bead embroidery kit, please note that most manufacturers do not complete their products with bead thread. The online store "Needlework Salon" presents a wide selection of thread for embroidery with beads of various production: Germany, Poland ("Ariadna"), Ukraine ("Spark Beads"). Also, the thread for embroidery with beads comes in different colors. Depending on the color of the beads in the embroidery, we recommend working with a thread of the same or similar color. Agree, black beads sewn with white threads can easily spoil the whole picture. And if in the process of work it breaks, a spoiled mood is guaranteed. Therefore, the choice of a beaded thread should be taken seriously. Do not use ordinary sewing thread for beadwork. They are less durable and tend to fray.
Bead Thread Features:
- High strength and tensile strength. The fiber must withstand the weight of beads of various sizes, sew-on stones, glass beads and other decorative elements that can be used to create a picture;
- Subtlety. Despite the high strength, the bead thread must be thin so that it can easily pass into the hole of a small bead. For the same reason, needles for embroidery with beads are made very thin. To easily get into the small eye of a beaded needle, wax the end of the thread or use a special needle threader.
- Compliance. Products with embroidery can be washed and boiled and ironed.
How to fasten the thread for embroidery with beads?
Before starting embroidery, you need to fasten the thread to the fabric. To avoid irregularities, we do not recommend making knots. Although they will not be visible on the reverse side, a bump may appear when embroidering. In addition, due to the smoothness of the beaded thread, the knots can be untied, and then the process will need to start over. In order not to make knots, we recommend that you use the following techniques:
1. If you are embroidering with bifold thread, then insert its folded ends into the eye of the needle. On the reverse side, you will form a loop. After threading the needle from the inside out and making a stitch, pass the needle through the loop, thus securing the thread securely.
2. If you are embroidering with beads with a thread in one addition, then its edge should be left on the front side, hiding it under the beads in three to five stitches. Or make a few cross stitches without tying knots. These stitches are also covered with beads during the embroidery process.
3. Finishing embroidery, fix the last bead several times and thread the tail of the thread from the wrong side under the stitches.
Do not take too long a piece of thread, in the process of embroidery it can twist and get tangled.
