Beads can add texture, color, and a delicious twinkle to stitched textiles - but applying them can be very time consuming.

It also introduces some simple and useful equipment and, once you have mastered the basic techniques, there are nine projects to create wallhangings, fashion accessories and more. If you enjoy using beads in your work, you'll love these super-speedy machine beading techniques.-- Kathy Troup, Editor, STITCH with the Embroiderer's Guild, August/September issue, page 38.
