We will start with the "Base Rows" (Rows 1 & 2)

Option:

1. Cut a 1 to 1-1/2 yard length of size B

Nymo thread.

To add Fringe (one example):

Weave so that needle/thread

are exiting the end bead, on

the inside where beads are

touching.

2. Wax or Condition the thread.

3. Thread a size 10 beading needle with

the conditioned/waxed thread.

Pick up fringe beads,

shown are 6 fringe

beads plus 1 turn around bead.

4. Have beads ready, we will be using 4

colors of Delica Beads.

DB 722 - DB 723 - DB 724 - DB 725

Insert needle UP through the 6

fringe beads (not the turn

around bead), snug. Insert

needle through the bead you

originally started from X and

through the next bead. You

are ready for the next fringe.

5. Printed pattern.

Step 18

Basic Square Stitch

Sample

A place to start:

Base Rows = Row 1 & Row 2.

We will start with 4 beads, marked as:

1, 2, 3 and 4.

Congratulations!!!!

Your Sample is complete.

We will start at the top of this pattern.

Once the stitch is mastered you will be able to start

at the bottom or top whichever you desire.

This stitch does produce somewhat of a nap. The

beads will lean slightly in one direction. It is not

always noticeable. Once I started in the middle of a

pattern and was using silver lined beads.... and boy

could I see it clearly!

Step 2

Basic Square Stitch

Sample

Pick up beads 1, 2, 3, and 4.

First Bead 1 then 2 then 3 then 4.

Finishing:

Slide the beads down toward the tail end of

the thread, leaving a 6" to 8" tail.

Weave both thread ends into bead

work. Weave up and down rows,

square stitch beads in various

places. Be sure excess thread is

not visible or bulky in one area..

Thread is never doubled in this project.

Example of Weaving to

secure tail/end threads.

Weaving threads also can

reinforce your work.

Tail - leave enough thread so

it can be woven into the

finished beadwork. Approx.

6-8 "

When you have woven the threads

in, be sure to insert the

needle/thread in a straight line

through about 5-6 beads (this is

to help prevent the thread from

backing out). Use sharp scissors

to cut the remaining thread off.

NOTE: Sometimes you can use tail

thread for fringe or other

finishing needs.

NOTE: Adding/Starting NEW

threads is also done by weaving

thread into the bead work.
