Thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge and expertise. You are by far the best (and most generous) teacher on you-tube. Oh, and your work is beautiful!
Not sure about the amazing part (lol!) but sure am glad my video was inspiring! Thank you for viewing and for taking the time to comment. With the right beads, needles, and thread you will be surprised at what you will accomplish. I teach this occasionally and have only a rare student that finds it difficult. And with practice , like all things, it becomes even easier. Good luck!
Thanks for viewing and for taking the time to comment.....After you ran to the store! LOL! Warning those little beads are v e r y addictive. Enjoy embellishing with beads!
Very informative video! The info about the best kind of needles and beads to use is very helpful. I've broken beads before trying to push the needle through. I thought they were all like that, and I just had to live with it. I didn't realize there was a RIGHT kind and a WRONG kind of beads. I also love the way you bury the needle between the layers to start and end the stitch. Brilliant tip! I love both the 2 styles of edging you taught in this video. Everything in my house is about to be beaded! These ornaments are so pretty! Thanks!! Toni / FancyThat
Hi Toni! So glad you could view this. Get those right kind of beads, etc. and you'll be amazed at how much fun you'll have. Warning!!! Beads can be as addictive as fabric!
Just found your videos and I am thrilled. I have been embroidery only 2 years and haven’t done wool appliqué but really want to try it and your videos will be very helpful
Thank you Robin! For viewing and for taking the time to leave a comment. Always glad to hear that my information and techniques are not only helpful, but inspirational. Most important of all, be sure to just the stitching! Perfection is over rated!
Thank you Miss Mary! This tutorial is exactly what I needed to watch and study. You made it so very easy for me to do and so easy to watch for mistakes.
Thank you for viewing and for taking the time to comment. I love to hear that my time and info are helpful to someone and encourages their creativity. Best reward ever! Keep stitching!

Thank you for viewing. I try! Taught 9th grade and high school art for several years - LOL! Hopefully that helped me to understand how to make things simple - even if it was 30 students/different ways! LOL! I hope you will have fun using this new found technique!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I am a newbie and find you tutorials extremely helpful. I love the work you do, the design and colour is beautiful and the stitching so lovely...many thanks
Awww...thank you for viewing and your kind comments. I'm a former teacher and love to share whatever I know to help others so I am always glad to hear that someone benefits from my videos.
Thanks for viewing and taking time to comment. The beads I used were Japanese sz. 8. This seems to be the easiest sized bead for people to learn to beadwork and also have them look nice with their work. This same technique can be done with Japanese sz. 11 beads but you would have to make much smaller blanket stitches. I generally encourage the use of Japanese beads because they are much more uniform in size, have a kind of 'boxy' shape so they 'sit' nice on the wool, and they have much larger holds than Czech beads. For an experienced beadworker, using a sz. 8 Czech bead is fine, but they are more 'donut' shaped and you kind of have to 'cull' out the right shaped beads. Beads do not generally come in millimeters with the exception of larger beads such as stones, glass and pearls. Beads come in 'aught' sizes written as 8/0, 11/0. (eight aught, eleven aught) - and most beaders just shorten this to sz 8, etc. There are lot of googled sites that can tell you about bead sizes if you wish to pursue the information. Oh - also the larger the number, the smaller the bead!

You are amazing. I have never seen anything like this, and you have inspired me to try beading the edge of my wool mug rug.

Thanks for making this video. What size Japanese beads are the ones you were using? Do they come in millimeters?
