Bead Embroidery 101: Brick Stitch Edge

[@sue7777]

This edging, to me, has always looked like the hardest part of bead embroidery, hence, I've not ever done an embroidery piece. Thanks, Becky, for showing us just how easy and uncomplicated it can be. I will be going back and watching more of your embroidery videos.

Thanks, Sue. I'm so glad this helped you. I've always thought bead embroidery looked so intricate and complicated but the techniques are actually quite approachable!

I love your headband. Did you make that?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

I did not, I bought it! I bet you could make something similar though with big chunky pearl beads and velvet ribbon!

But how do I finish?!?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Once you have stitched on the last bead in the row, bring the needle back through the first bead you stitched on to make it sit correctly. Then, to finish the ends, continue to pass the needle through beads and backing material for reinforcement. Tie a knot, trim the excess thread and tuck the knot into a bead.
