Thank you Kelsey x

[@gretarobinson9275]

I’m here for my prom dress it needs some bling so this will hopefully help wish me luck

[@amywallace3234]

Did you end up blinging out your prom dress? I'd love to see it! ❤

[@chrish6216]

How did it go? I want to add pearl beads to my wedding dress

[@apeyloo]

@@amywallace3234same! Can we see?

[@FromSpaceVu]

Weading dress. 😂

[@AnnaYV]

Anyone else find this soo relaxing to watch? This video is fab! Thankyou so much 🙌🏻🙏🏻 will deffo be using these in my next embroidery project 🥰

[@golfgranny58]

Glad you added the seed beads on each side of the bugle bead, most people don't know to do this to keep the sharp edges of the bugles from cutting the threads.

[@matcha-mooon]

It's the first time I'm patiently listening to a "how to stitch" in all those beautiful ways, and actually learning. You're amazing. 💜💚💙 Thank you so much for being my teacher.

[@claryndamontie3638]

Your voice is so soothing I have never snitched beads in my life and you make me want to try😊

[@solarwinds-]

You're such a good teacher, so patient (a virtue I'm striving towards, lol). I'm always amazed at your talent Sarah. :)

[@gingerlancaster3033]

This is something I've always wanted to do but was never sure of the actual mechanics of the process. Thank u

[@Portia620]

I hated sewing but loved embroidery!!! I want to learn to sew again too.

[@maryoconnell35]

Hello, I just came across your tutorial today as I plan to put some bead embroidery on a plain red dress, you make it look so easy, thank you for you for your video and listeninh to your voice is so relaxing.

[@lydiabosley9152]

Lovely to watch, fun to anticipate trying this - thanks, Sarah!

[@marydalrymple1432]

I’m a beginner when it comes to embroidery I absolutely love these stitches you’re so clever

[@neamhcridhe6475]

i just finished making a doll outfit that's a solid color and have some seed beads that are of a similar color along with white, black and chrome.....i knew i wanted to embroider beads onto it and i do know how to do basic beadwork, but this was helpful to make a more flower like pattern on it that i originally had in my head.

[@carolynwright6745]

Good afternoon Ms Homfray, thank you 🙏🏾 so much for your easy step-by-step bead stitching your teaching so understanding and easy. Thank you 🙏🏾. Much peace & Love ❤️

[@m.i.miller8008]

Excelent video... thank you .. Can't wait to start my first project!!!!!

[@reginakostuch3791]

This is perfect for a project I want to start, and not too hard either, thank you!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Life is hard enough without making your stitching hard too Regina! :)

[@alaskatundrakid]

Love the lesson on beading. Thanks so much. I love beading with my quilt blocks, and I love that you show how to add them nicely.

[@saraparker184]

amazing! i received a printed fabric purse and have a bunch of seed and bugle beads (i now know what these are called! thank you for improving my vocabulary!) and will use them to add some bling to my dull purse 👛 💎!!! thank you!

[@Oonagh72]

I like the bead on either side of the chain.

[@ValShepley-qc4zr]

Thank you so much for that Sarah. After watching just a few of your videos I've started embroidering once again and was thinking that it been about 50 years since I did any, it's like knowing how to do it but the ex-skill won't transfer to my old fingers now. However, thanks to your lovely videos I'm learning once again.

[@zrrsamara4768]

Wow, fly stitch looks amazing 😍

[@luxill0s]

Thank you for this! I just started trying embroidery in general and decided to embroider a fish using beads. This was super helpful. I think I’ll do those offset rows of back stitches to make it look more like scales ☺️

[@mayolson2]

This is golden as I am ready to sew on beads today and there you are. Wow thanks ! I am filling the center of flowers.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

That was good timing May!

[@Miauwies]

Ooh some more stitches with beads I can try. I like the last two the most. Thank you❤️

[@cathyphegley7848]

Really like the cable chain stitch. Great tutorial as usual Sarah.🦋

[@debrahorn1938]

I really am excited to start my first slow-stitch project and these beaded stitches will be beautiful to incorporate. I also want to try some simple stump work.

[@dawn7612]

Thanks for the refresher course. I am thinking of embellishing some black tank tops. I have too many black ones. I have one that I bought a long time ago with beads and floss at the scoop neckline. So I decided I needed to do others with sequins and/or beads to dress them up. Your tutorial is excellent and I know I won't have any trouble getting back into this craft with your help. Dawn

[@marydmyterko4384]

Exactly what I needed. I've done embroidery foreverbut now what fun it'll be to incorporate beads. Thank you!

[@celestialstorybooks]

Exactly the video I've been looking for! Thank you for making such a clear and easy to understand tutorial.

Thank you very nice. I wanted to add some sparkle to gauzy pull over. It’s black and I was going to add silver beads around the neck and sleeves.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Sounds lovely!

[@dagwoodspott2199]

AWESOME !!! Would you be able to teach ALL the different chain stitch alternatives ? ;) Thanks for sharing ;D

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

We have videos on other chain stitch types in our stitch library D (without beads), have you seen those?

[@Her-J-Story]

Good video :)

How to embroidery with super duo beads?

[@angelathiery2265]

Love your videos!!! Do you have this as a kit for sale?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I don't Angela, but you could just follow the video!

[@winningnumbers]

backstitching with 2 beads at a time please. much easier

[@Christine627]

Fab!

[@JEHomestead]

Beautiful tutorial! Can I ask what fabric you are using? Thanks again for your lovely stitching lessons and I’m off to watch your second bead stitch video!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

This fabric here! www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_7427276-Cotton-Antique-White.html

[@dokastyle7963]

Thank you so much for this video. What are the types of thread to use for this project

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I used Madeira Lana (Burmilana) thread for this, you can see them here Doka Style: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/cat_1116427-Madeira-Lana.html

[@BillizMuzic]

Be patient this takes practice. I use a ruler and evenly dot exactly where the stitches go in. It really helps...

[@VintageVineMillinery]

Thank you so much for all the information it’s really awesome. May I ask what brand and color of nail polish you have on I love it?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

There's probably about 3 colours in there Tresa! I tend to put a base colour on then put different sparkly ones over the top. When it starts to wear off I stick another coat of another colour on!

[@VintageVineMillinery]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thanks. I’m going to try. Very classy.

[@sharonfisher4495]

What thread are you using???

[@purplepoodlecreations]

THANK YOU!! 😊

[@tinafrancis7909]

Beautiful work! Could you tell me what kind of embroidery stand you are using. I have only used a hoop and would like to get a nice stand.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's a verstaile table clamp Tina, check out our video on them (just search versatile table clamp) and you can buy from our online shop (www.sarahhomfray.com)

[@josnajoseph7688]

What thread is best to do the work in a denim jacket?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Any thread you like Josna it's more about using the right needle! Check out our video on how to do this is you aren't sure

[@lindaj5492]

Very helpful, thank you! What do you use to mark your fabric? Dressmaker’s chalk pencil? Also, can beaded embroidery be machine-washed (?gentle / wool cycle), or must it be hand-washed?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

See my videos on How to transfer a design, and Pens for embroidery Linda. I would hand wash anything with beads on

[@yaz8120]

I'm curious as to what type of needle you're using. I'm currently using an embroidery needle but some of my beads aren't going all the way through the needle so I had to switch a smaller needle but then the eye became smaller so I couldn't use the threads I wanted. Any tips or have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong
