Jax's Tip About Cross Stitch and Seed Beads

Keep Beads Corralled with a Frame

By Connie G. Barwick, About.com

Jax sent in these tips about using seed beads on Cross Stitch designs. She describes her methods:

"I attach beads when all cross stitch and back stitch is finished.

I have found using a 3 inch by 5 inch picture frame with glass is a good way to corral my beads and is very easy to pick up the beads with my needle.

I also use John James #10 Tapestry pointed Beading Needles. They are perfect for seed beads."
