[@kimethaturner152]

This is a great refresher or starter video Thankyou for taking the time to do this

[@elizabethlawson6759]

I've done embroidery since I was a young child, but not beaded. I have purchased some and will be trying it hopefully soon. Thanks for showing how to do the beads!

[@Hrockstarz]

I've been looking for more videos of this craft there are not many out there but i did enjoy this even tho it's a beginner video

[@julieholleran974]

definitely would like more of these videos--I've never tried this...embroidered, quilted, crewel worked etc ...but never this one...Julierose

[@darinakrutovsky9520]

Hello. I don’t know what your name is but just wanted to thank you. Being from Ukraine myself and also loving doing embroidery, I was searching for good tutorials like yours, and there you go! I will review your videos. Thanks!

[@Lovecraftforever]

Вітаю вас Дарина на моєму каналу. Мене звати Наталія 🇺🇦🇨🇦😘

[@estherwolf4354]

Thank you so much you have been a big help. I am a beginner this is totally new experience for me. One of the cross stich youtubeers mentioned it and it got my curiosity so I ordered 2 of them partial

[@kimethaturner152]

i agree its not as fast as DP but its a change and is refreshing and a break. i am waiting on my canvas to arrive. thanks so much for all your videos

[@staceyshorey9599]

Oh wow ! I absolutely have to try one! I think I found a new hobby! Thank you so very much !!!

[@Lovecraftforever]

You are welcome Stacey. say sorry for me to your wallet, it's gonna get thinner after my videos lol😂😘

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

I really like this series I hope that you will continue it actively. I have been cross stitching for over 40 years and would really like to get one of these needed canvas to do. Thank you for sharing happy stitching, beading, and diamond painting.

[@corinnerenshaw3621]

When I have done beads on my cross stitch, look at the directions. The will tell you. If you do a half cross stitch, the bead will lay at an angle or a whole cross stitch, where the bead will lay straight up and down. This method it new to me. Good to know of a different method of beading ! Thanks for the lesson on a new beading method ! :)

[@Lovecraftforever]

It's faster too, to do just a half stitch

[@carolynharpell9408]

Yes I would like to watch more beading done and see it finished.I have never seen this done before I really like it

[@Lovecraftforever]

It's so much fun to do. Try it! 😀

[@draicun1]

Oh wow! I’ve always called this Beadpoint or bead embroidery (many books available under those terms) and just used cross stitch designs with Aida cloth. Seed beads can be gotten pretty much everywhere for cheap. I didn’t even know there were kits for this now! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see it finished! I found your channel a week or two ago and been making my way through all your videos. You’re always positive and informative. Thank you. It’s so refreshing!

[@Lovecraftforever]

Thank you very much Nikki. Happy to have you here

[@noraidalauro7339]

Very pretty! Can definitely see how diamond painting was inspired by beaded cross stitch.

[@debbieelliott2589]

Yes I loved this video. I’m working on a small one now. You showed some good tips I didn’t know about. Thank you!

[@debbieelliott2589]

I definitely want to see more ❤️

[@kendraiacouzze4930]

Nataliya thank you so much for this tutorial. I bought a beaded cross stitch and had no clue as to what I was doing. Now I can go back fix my few mistakes and finish what I started. Just another thing I have learned from you. 💕💕

[@Lovecraftforever]

Most welcome Kendra. so glad that my video helped you ❤

[@dyannerichter8255]

My first time watching you and am enjoying it very much! Fantastic!

[@GMeek-bd8wl]

I love this! Learned so much from your video. Now to add a new hobby, lol. Thank you for sharing.🙂

[@Lovecraftforever]

It's getting dangerous lol hold on to your wallet

[@GMeek-bd8wl]

Lovecraftforever omg, isn't that the truth..

[@sarahcontento9516]

I just ordered my first beaded cross stitch kit from aliexpress so it really helps me to watch how you stitch with beads.

[@fransjourney6193]

Love this new craft thank you for sharing ♥️♥️

[@nancysworld4178]

Very good video, Nataliya. Angle was good too. I heard of beaded cross stitch before but I never saw it done till now. I think it's something I can get into. Thank you for sharing!

[@bethpalmer2720]

I love watching you bead stitch. Would like to see you do one of the larger one. Your close ups are very helpful, like I'm sitting beside you.

[@taiee66]

Ty for the video. I just recently started seeing this craft on youtube and I used to cross stitch. I ordered 2 from etsy coming from the Ukraine and one from Ali Express coming from china. We shall see the difference in quality I'm sure.😀

[@Lovecraftforever]

Please let me know when you receive, i would love to know your review on both of them. Thank you my friend

[@debbiekeller4668]

That was a very informative video! I haven't ever worked on a beaded cross stitch, just the regular kind! You did an awesome job on showing and explaining every step! Thank you!!! Be Blessed 💜

[@Lovecraftforever]

Thank you. Tutorial #2 is up and playing today

[@Sunshine-tf4ul]

Thank you so much for this video! I always wanted to learn how to do beaded cross stitch. I really want to try this now! Thank you again! Awesome video.

[@elizabethgaloozis5755]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do beaded cross stitch! I've never tried this with beads. I hope I can find this somewhere on line. You are a Gem yourself

[@craftingwithbeautifulchaos539]

I loved watching this video. I just recently purchased my first beaded cross stitch. I’m about 25% done with it. I absolutely love this craft! So now I’m torn between beading and diamond painting lol! I subscribed to your channel, and would love to see more videos like this! ❤️💕

[@Lovecraftforever]

I would love to do more stitching like this, but for now, i don't have any beaded canvas (sad story lol) Thanks for being my new friend 😘

[@heatherdelauder5661]

Cannot wait to see this finished! ❤️❤️❤️

[@goddessfly]

I did this on some embroidered work just to accent some work and I really liked it then I seen this craft come out. How funny to see it coming out in a kit now .

[@Lovecraftforever]

It's so much better to have a kit, instead try to pick beads on your own

[@mskat36]

Needed a break from diamond painting and finally picked up my crochet hook again. Made a top, and now I want to get out my beaded cross stitch kit I bought last year. We need more hours in the day to do ALL the crafts! That's going to be beautiful :-) Thank you for showing how you do it. Either camera view was good. Saw what you were doing both ways.

[@Lovecraftforever]

You are so right that we need more hours per day.

[@DebbieJeansThisAndThat]

Great tutorial, thank you very much. I have never tried yet. Saw a kit to make a beaded embroidered keychain. Did a lot of counted cross stitch in the past, and recently started doing diamond paintings. The second angle of your camera is the best view. Have a wonderful weekend.🦩🐬😊

[@SherriC88]

So pretty I've never tried this....but I want to!

[@Lovecraftforever]

I warning you, it's addicting lol

[@corinnerenshaw3621]

I have done a few mill hill kits , which has cross stitch and beading all on perforated paper. They use petite seed beads and regular beads. You use a special beading needle for the beads. They are fun ,little kits, but a lot of work. The also have one ceramic button bead. All the materials come with it.

[@lisalollipop2108]

i had to tell you im so excited, after watching your amazing video on this lovely craft ive bought a small partial beaded cross stitich to try. ive always done counted cross stitch and im obsessed with diamond painting and your stunning channel but the joy and passion you show for this craft has spurred me on to try something new, i wanted to say a massive thank you for being awesome and sharing this lovely craft.

[@shirleybewley6646]

Very clear great instructions. This is my first beaded embroidery, really fun! Thank you🤗

[@jamiwomack2129]

Thanks for doing this tutorial. I knew you would give me many helpful tips to do mine. So much easier to hold in your hands. I think mine is going twice as fast now.

[@RockinRobinsFinds]

I wish i wAs crafty... love watching you.

[@lisaschumacher2751]

Beautiful work!

[@carolynharpell9408]

That is so neat,looks like a lot of work

[@Lovecraftforever]

It is little harder then DP, but the good thing, that your beads will never fall out 😂

[@MyzMyzterious32]

Beautiful as always dear. I used to do alot of bead work like this. Alot of native American dresses, etc for the pow wows.would still if not for my strokes. Love, Light and Blessings💐

[@Lovecraftforever]

Is there any chance to see your work? Do you have any pictures? I am sure they look stunning

[@MyzMyzterious32]

@@Lovecraftforever just pics from analog cameras years ago.

[@vivscrafts4006]

Hi Nataliya, as you know I have been doing this craft and have been enjoying it. There are several good suppliers in Aliexpress like Golden Panno, Snowlover etc. What I observed though is that the smaller kits have the same canvas as yours. The big ones use aida cloth. They are definitely more expensive than diamond paintings but they are as satisfying to do. I alternate between dp'ing and beaded cs. They are the two projects I have on the go. Great tutorial as always! Thanks 🌹

[@awoods8321]

I'm on my first one. I love it. Thank you for showing me how to do it the right way. Mine is European and does not have the dots, only colored circles. The needle is cheap I think because it bends and the thread seems like fishing line. It is clear plastic, it seems. I definitely have mistakes on how I put down the beads but you've taught me what to do for the next one!

[@charleneball8057]

Thank you Natalia I appreciate you showing us how this is done I have never seen this done before. I would love to see how you change to another row.

[@Lovecraftforever]

There’s more tutorials on this canvas and I do have how I change to the other row. Thank you

[@sarahcontento9516]

The angle of your camera is excellent.

[@angied.5292]

That was very helpful. I recently bought a kit like this on Etsy. So many beautiful ones to choose from. Please do more of this in the future. Thanks🌺

Loved it, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about this craft. I am waiting till the middle of July to purchase one I have been looking and found a couple that I am interested in on Aliexpress. Again, thank you, so much, I think that you are very talented, I also watch your diamond painting videos, which I also enjoy watching.

[@purplecow6092]

I. Have been wanting to try this for some time now. I did order one and it is a very stiff canvas, so i ended up glueing beads on most of it.

[@kathleenwhite2236]

Great tutorial !! I think it looks so pretty with those colors! I would like symbols also ! I could hardly tell the difference in the shades of red! Sure do more of these video's! I like the variety you have ! Hugs!!! :)

[@kimscales5150]

i am a new subscriber, love these videos, i have done regular cross stitch, but not beaded cross stitch, i did just order my first kit, it comes from the ukraine, sorry if i spelled it wrong i cant wait till it gets here

[@lisahunt966]

Thank you for this video

[@pinkporcupineknits]

Craft hack: when colors are really close together (like your two reds) take a picture and convert it to greyscale (black and white.) Often the tones are different, but are brains can't get past the "colors are the same!!!" part! :D

[@heatherdelauder5661]

Wow! Yeah I absolutely cannot see between the two red colors. It shouldn't matter much with these flowers but I would definitely want one with symbols for a beginner 👍

[@GMeek-bd8wl]

I really like the front camera angle the best, although I know not so comfortable for you. Also, as you were working and I noticed that the two red symbols were very similar I got an idea. Why not mark all the darker red symbols with a small dot with a washable marker of some sort. That way you can distinguish which is which. Just a thought, hope it helps.

[@Lovecraftforever]

You know what? This is a grate idea, i will do that, thanks

[@GMeek-bd8wl]

Lovecraftforever your welcome.

[@joaniesmith1376]

[@Shelley-SmallTownTarot]

Yes please!

[@mayolson2]

[@Lovecraftforever]

Awesome! Enjoy

[@60mccarthy]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I have watched this one several times. I have never cross stitched on this kind of fabric or a preprinted pattern. My question is once you have made a couple of stitches and you realize you made a mistake you can't just back it out like on Aida cloth. Is there some way to correct yourself without having to cut your thread and start over? Sorry if you answered this question in another video. I do love all your work I have spent probably 16 hours going through all you video crafts. You are so very talented.

[@robineisenberg7548]

im dabbling in embellishing all my large beaded tapestries with all type beads to give it dimension love this thanks for teaching where did you buy the printed canvas?

[@elizabethgaloozis5755]

Where can buy a beaded cross stitch kit? Love your videos and you are ver encouraging

[@debrastine3451]

I just found your videos and I like them very much. Could you tell me what kind of thread and brand do you use to do beaded cross stitch? Thank you for the videos and info.

[@sarahlouisegillard1082]

This looks like a lovely draft to get into. I am currently a latch hooker and avid diamond painter. Where can I get these kits? I live in Germany but im not sure when I look on Amazon if I’m looking at the correct thing. Thank you

[@annadion4134]

Very interesting. I don’t cross stitch, but I wondered what beaded cross stitch was. Do you just go line by line? What happens when you get to the end of a thread?

[@Lovecraftforever]

Hi Anna. Thank you for your question. Video #2 is up and playing

[@kevinreid6367]

what kind of thread should I get

Hi again what did you buy for a magnifying with light and are all kits seed beads hard to see and never heard of this craft enjoying all you teach? thanks again Rita New Hampshire stay safe to you and your family

[@Lovecraftforever]

downz53 hello. Look my latest unboxing video about light, that I’m using now every time. The beads are small but it’s so much fun to work with

[@julieholleran974]

What size beads are you using--they look larger than seed beads...all the kits I've seen use the tiny seed beads...thank you Julierose

[@Lovecraftforever]

They do look bigger on camera. I believe it's #10, could be 11, as i don't have size on them

[@coreen588]

I am interested in doing a full canvas Bead cross stich but I am having trouble finding one...mostly all partials...can you suggest a place where I can order one?

[@michellemorris4530]

Hi not trying to be funny but could you tell me the website you are saying? I looked up BBcraft and BeeBee Craft? However I wasn't sure which one was correct in trying to find beads, I have a cross stitch pattern and would like to make it a bead cross stitch if possible which means I need to purchase a lot of different beads. Thank you!

Lovecraftforever Thank you

[@heatherdelauder5661]

I imagine it gets harder when you have to work in the center of the canvas because you can only hold so much of the canvas bunched up in your hand? Maybe you roll it?

[@Lovecraftforever]

Yes i did roll it as i show in this video. But also this canvas is really little 😀
