Back Cover Information

Bead by bead, stitch by stitch, this concise technique book shows you how to add bead embellishment to your work.

With her "can do" attitude and friendly tone, author Larkin Van Horn gives you a comprehensive look at tools and materials, covering all types of fabrics, threads, needles, glues and stabilizers. She then gives you the lowdown on beads commonly used in embroidery and tips for wearability, washability and caring for beaded fabrics. Move on to learning the basic stitches, incorporating beads into your stitches, creating edges and fringe, and beading around cabochons. You'll even learn insider tricks for making your work easier!

Illustrations, photographs of stitched samples, and examples of completed work scattered throughout the book will instruct and inspire. Whether you're looking for a way to liven up a store-bought garment or a quilter venturing away from the traditonal techniques, Beading on Fabric is your ultimate technique resource.
