Thank you! I am stitching my first Mirabilia right now. The whole "beading thing" has been poking at me from the back of my mind each time I stitch on it. Now I feel much more confident about it. 😊
Nice idea on the Beadalon sticky mat, to use for beading on stitching, I am an avid stitcher and beader jewelry maker you have shown me an easy way to keep track of my beads on stitching projects.
Thank you Helen for this beading tutorial. I have done beading but it has been a while as I have been stitching a lot of Samplers. I’m thinking of doing a Mirabilia for a change. This tutorial has been quite helpful! You’re a great teacher!
I guess I was on the right track years ago when I decided to add some white beads to my snowman cross stitch project to make it look like snow falling out of the sky even though the pattern did not call for them. Wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly but according to your tutorial I did. I used the x method so they would stand straight on the material. Beads really do add to the beauty of the design too. Thanks so much Helen. I definitely wouldn't be afraid to use them again. 🐱🐱
Wonderful tutorial! I love the idea of the little bead holder right on the piece you are stitching. Seems so much easier than reaching for the beads from a tin or tray! Thanks so much!
I used to make jewelry with seed beads, which the Mill Hill beads are, for reference their petite beads are a size 15 seed bead, the regular is a size 11 and the larger is size 8. The higher the number the smaller the size just like tapestry needles. And from what I saw the treasure bead is a bi cone and they may even by Swarovski a top of the line crystal glass bead. Thank you for your tips and tricks in beading your cross stitch.
Great video and super tips. I did a small Mill Hill kit ornament for a Christmas gift. I did the best I could think of at that time. But as I watched your video I was smacking my forehead - why didn't I think of that!?! Looking forward to the next kit to try out your techniques. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you! I've been terrified to do a mill hill or others that call for beading. I thought you had to stitch it all and out the beads on top of your stitching! Thank you an amazing informative video! Now I dont feel so dumb.
Thank you for such a good tutorial, l am doing my first Bella Filipina and have been leaving the beading to last, now feel ready to tackle the challenge. 😅❤
OMG 😂 I'm stitching on my Mucha, watching you.....and I try to (in my brain) stitch a bead. I actually confused myself 💙🖖 lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down...... My brain 😳
Thanks again for a great and easy to follow tutorial! I save all hour tutorials lol. Just because I like to rewatch right before doing something again. To keep it fresh. And YES, I have been intimidated by beading. I have several patterns that call for beads that I let languish in project bags due to anxiety. So thank you again for all you do. It's so appreciated !!
First I have to say that your reindeer is beautiful! I hope you post when it’s fully finished, or maybe a tutorial with the finish. Thank you for this tutorial. The magnetic bead holder is fantastic. It will make it so much easier when dealing with those pesky little beads that like to go flying everywhere. I have a few Mill Hill ornament kits, I think I’m going to dig them out to work on now! 😊
Thanks so much Helen! I’m am beading for the first time in 30 plus years this weekend and this was super helpful! I have a tacky bob from the 80’s and just got a tacky bill from 1,2,3 stitch but I love the little cap idea! 💡 It’s genius😊
Thank you for showing us. I don't have any plans on doing beads even though it looks so good, but I don't have any plans. I would love to see what you use to stich? Like if you use Q-snaps or scroll frames, do you use a stand for your Q-snaps? What are your best cross stitch tools you use to to do your craft? Thanks 👍
Hi Janet! I'm a q snap girl. I actually have a Lowery stand, but I don't use it. It just doesn't work with the chair I sit in and I need to hold my stitching closer that it allows. 🤓
Great tips, Helen! I've only ever beaded the small Mill Hill ornaments but watching this video gave me the itch to look for a smallish Nora or Mira project.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have done beading in years past on cross stitch, but sort of made up my own way of doing it because years ago it was hard to find instruction for doing them. You have some valuable tips that I will now use when I do beading.
Thank you for showing the difference in beading. I have a small beading project. I also have Bella Butterfly to do when the cross stitching is completely done.
Thank you! I am stitching my first Mirabilia right now. The whole "beading thing" has been poking at me from the back of my mind each time I stitch on it. Now I feel much more confident about it. 😊
Thanks for another great tutorial. My first beaded project arrived today. Thanks !!!
You are the first person that gave me confidence to do this. I've always wanted to do beading. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
You can absolutely do it!
Great tip about using a horizontal stitch for putting the larger treasure beads on. Thanks!
A very good tutorial. I have not done any beating yet, but I will definitely come back to your flosstube as reference.
A wonderful tutorial, Helen. Thx so much! 🌺🌷❤️💕

I was just trying to make it as easy as possible for myself!
Your tacky bill needleminder hack is genius! I always struggle to hold the tacky surface with the beads. Will definitely be doing this. Thank you!

Isn't it funny how confusing it is to actually think about what you're doing when you're so used to just doing it!?
Great tutorial! Thanks!
