Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, it’s so generous of you to do this, free to your viewers / fans!

What a lovely tutorial! For anyone interested, “couching” does in fact come from thread embroidery, where threads are laid down and then stitched into place by other thread (or the end of the thread as in boukhara couching). The Bayeux Tapestry is a famous example of the use of the stitch.

Great info - thanks for watching, James!

Would have never thought to use cup chain and tilla beads, but love the texture they add. Thank you for sharing your fabulous talent and ideas.

[@FireMountainGems]

Isn't it so fun to learn new and creative ways to combine things? We love it, too! Thanks for watching! :-)

Jody, if you were using a color bead against the white foundation do you color the backing material?

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi there! We've asked Jody and this is her reply, "some will dye the beading foundation and some will use permanent colored pens. For me, I just cover it up with a flower, spiney fringe or anything else that may work in that space." We hope that helps! Great question too!! Thank you for watching. 😀

I have trouble with cupchain. It ends up looking as if I placed it almost with the bottom of the cupchain against the beads, breathed than the side, so it's like a little hill from the seedbeads instead of flat next to them.

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Jane. We hope this video was helpful. Keep practicing and maybe loosen your thread just a bit. Thanks for watching.

[@lindysmith378]

Can you please tell me the name of the stone you are bezelling around? I couldn't quite pick it up in the first video.

[@FireMountainGems]

Jody is using Black Lip Shell in her beaded embroidery. Here's an example of something similar: bit.ly/3dd3UkE Thanks for watching!

[@corinnebabcock5503]

Where do you get the beading foundation? I have not seen part 1 - how do I view that video?

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Corinne. The link to the beading foundation is in the description of the video. We're sorry you missed part 1 here is a link to Jody's playlist on our channel: kzbin.info/aero/PLCCNqW5Elcgcl5-HQEvT9KNmcpuMzXmrR We'll continue to add each video to this playlist or you can always find them in the video section of our channel. Thanks for watching!

[@ASLBEADSMUSIC]

May ask what size of cupchains please?

[@FireMountainGems]

Jody is using 4mm cupchain, but any size works the same. It's really a personal preference on how you want your finished piece to look.

[@ASLBEADSMUSIC]

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads Thank U. 😊

[@ASLBEADSMUSIC]

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads Hi again. I have been looking for 6mm cupchain & there is none. Can U please help me to find 6mm cupchains. Thank U again.
