Currently completing my Textiles and Design Major Work for my HSC, with lots of beading. This was very helpful - had no idea you could do so many beads at a time! I was going to do them all singularly so this was a lifesaver
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this tutorial. I’ve bought my beads and ready to go. I’ve got into this slow stitching rabbit hole…your fault 🤭 and loving it. This is so helpful. Thank you 🌸
Hi i m zia from Pakistan.. I m a hand embroidery designer. And carft man i need a job plz contact me
I will now and forever appreciate anything that is hand beaded!!! Wow!

Thank you so much Sarah and Jonathan for this very enjoyable video. I used to make jewellery to raise funds for a local charity but now I am going to buy some beads to have fun with in my embroidery. I loved all of this and also the choice of music. God bless you both love Vera in Northern Ireland ❤❤
As a NEWBIE……this indeed looks MAGICAL!
Loved this video. It's been years since I've done embroidery and cross stitch. I did lots of embroidery, cross stitch and 1 strand petit point. Glad I learned so many skills years ago. I didn't do a lot of beadwork, but am definitely inspired to create with beads, embroidery and other mixed textures.
Thanks!
You are a wonderful teacher. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for the thousands of hours you have invested in making each one for us to enjoy learning from ❤
I’ve never really done anything with beads but I learned so much from this video . Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed your beads video with the different techniques rather than just sewing them on individually.
Hi, Sarah! So glad to see your new video. It’s a brilliant tutorial: educational, simple, and demonstrative. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for sharing your lovely work with us
The design it’s so beautiful….❤❤😘
You are such an extraordinary teacher. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
I love bead work. I never thought about couching beads until I saw one of your videos a while ago. It has saved me soooo much time.
And you got me in sequins. Which I have discovered are fantastic for creating scales on fish.
You can add a bead on top of a sequin for another effect, like you demonstrated with the doughnut 🙂

Another wonderful video, Sarah, thank you. In case you're not back before the holidays, very best wishes to you, hubby and ginger cat for a happy Christmas, and everything wonderful in the new year. Take care, and happy stitching (and beading), Arleen
Thank you Arleen! One more video for 2023 to come this afternoon...
Great instructions on how to bead, not something I've done before so thank you.
You are a great artist and you made a very clear tutorial insruction that makes beading stitching easier to understand and make.. Thank you so much. It is inspiring to start and make projects ❤
Brilliant! Beads are on my new year's list of what to try next! So this is spot on! Thank you, Sarah. Have added this to my "watch again."
Clear a space Kay because once you start buying beads....
I love this bead video and can’t wait to try. Love your teaching style.
Thank you so much for that Sarah, it was wonderful, and such a lovely design too!. Beadwork is something I have always looked at from afar, thinking how nice it is, but never understanding how to use it so interestingly in an embroidery setting, your 'embroiderers collection' of useful bead techniques has as ever inspired me, but now - and "oh what a personal disaster" (throwing my hands up in gleeful mock dismay) - I will need to go and buy myself a bead stash!!!!xx
It's a slippery slope!
Oh noooo....and you thought fabric stashes were addictive...
Bread are smaller so you can get more...
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Don't you mean, hide them better? Lol.
But when your husband sees your tiny bag of beads he will be so happy that you didn't spend too much money.😂😅😉 Yep Honey, just a small bag of beads.
What a fantastic tutorial! I was preparing to sift through a stack of videos for some techniques, and here you are covering EVERYTHING I wanted to know for some new projects. Thank you so much for providing free content of such a high standard😁
Never done beading. You make look like fun. Will have to give it a try. Thank you for the inspiration.
All up and running and was able to print, thank you so much looking forward to stitching in 2024. Kind regards Heather
Absolutely gorgeous Sarah! I have tons of beads I want to use in my embroidery. Your tutorial is very useful. Thank you so much for all your ideas, creativity, professional teaching. Have a great day!
Wow Sarah, this is so beautiful! I am loving your channel and you have been such a big help to me. I've done lots of cross stitch for many years but since finding you I am exploring hand embroidery and loving it. You are a wonderful teacher and I appreciate what you do here. Sending hugs from Massachusetts U.S.A.
Sarah, I just subbed, because I just binged watched a bunch of your videos. This one on beads was the one that really hit home. Thank you for sharing your talent. God bless!
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.😊
I love your tutorials. Thank you! (I've never seen such beautiful "free" designs) Again, thank you so much!
I hope you had as much fun making that as I did watching
Wow Sarah! I love this tutorial, excellent marriage of beads and thread. I am a beader and recently entered the world of embroidery(slow stitching). I love adding beads to my work. You are such an inspiration!
Laughing so much at the end of the video (too funny, my mum was a kindergarten teacher) but so much wonderful instruction as always and the fun donut reference along the way too. Cheers, Christine
This is a great video. I love your work, thank you for sharing. 💕
😊 I found out about beading a couple of years ago. I've done a couple of Christmas tree ornaments and a couple of butterflies. I have a pattern I'm working on from Mirabilia called Raven Queen that has a lot a beading. She's gorgeous.
Beautiful beadwork! It is a pleasure learning from you.
Oh, Sarah!! Thank you so much! I have always wanted to learn to bead on material! This was an exceptional tutorial as all of your tutorials are! Thanks again!
Very pretty
Sensational! You've set off an explosion of ideas in my head. 🤩 Your renditions of the generous free design and the thread/bead mandala are gorgeous. Great idea to use a stencil. Thank you very much, Sarah! 💖 Hope Jonathan made it to the loo in time. 😯
He did yes...:D
Very useful, many thanks. I've got so many beads of different kinds, and this will "bling up" some of my slow stitching efforts.
I absolutely love all your videos and this one is no exception. Can't wait to get my beads out and have a play
Absolutely great idea for a video (tutorial). Exactly what I needed today. Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs, GinaB💕😍💖
Beautiful, as always. Thank you Sarah
Thank you so much for this video. I learned a lot. And you are a very good teacher. Thank you.
BEAUTIFULL!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I LOVE ❤❤❤❤
I just started adding bead on to my embroidery work 😊
Lovely video. I did a bead embroidery class through London Embroidery School and was amazed at all the things you can do with beads. After the holidays, I’d love to do this little flower beading project. Love it!
Thankyou so much Sarah. I've learnt heaps about stabilizing my beads. I use them a bit with slow stitching. Hope you have a great Christmas.
This is an amazing video omg thank you so much
Very well explained on how to do bead work, Thanks, 😍
So helpful thank you 😊❤
Great tutorial, thank you
Wow! Sarah, that is so beautiful!! ❤
I'll bet you didn't use up all your beads in that tutorial, but it is magnificently loaded 😂.
Thank you so much for sharing.
It didn't make a dent in my collection!
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I definitely needed this.
This is something that I have always wanted to try, thanks to your video I will do this and I can't wait to see your other videos. Thank You.
I love your tutorials! Thanks
Thank you for sharing,I think I need to go to the shop and buy myself some beads.🥰🌺🌺
I do bead embroidery on appplique and appreciate your tutorial as a lovely sampler of some techniques I am now inspired to try. Thank you!
Very informative and enjoyable video! Thank-you! 😃
This was extremely helpful love !
I really enjoyed the bids embroidery 😊
Thank you for these incredible tutorials. I have watched many of yours and I keep learning and learning.
Gorgeous project and wonderful lesson!
What a fantastic tutorial! I'm so glad I came across your channel.
Lovely fun! Just a word of caution, bugle beads and faceted crystals can have very sharp edges that can cut the thread so watch your tension!
Hence the beeswax!
Excellent teaching. So nice and clear to understand. Your style is lovely!
Lovely😊
Enjoyed your video great work as always good tips as want to try our my some beads next year 😊❤
Thank you Professor Hamfray
Such nice work - including the photography! 🙏🍇
The completed projects are so inspiring
No wonder I am having so many problems, I have been doing it all wrong for years, thank you for sharing
Hi Sarah, you are going to have a wee giggle at me. I downloaded your design of this one, and thought well I will just stitch it with cotton, as a practice piece, however, even though my eyes are on straight, new glasses and all, it does not look a lot like your version at all. Even though I looked at it several times before I started so I could see where to start as I am sure others do. I have created a different design. I actually love yours, but you know what I love my effort too. No beads at this stage, but I might fussy it up a bit at the end.
Gosh how beautiful. I must try. I wonder if adding a few seed beads to a quilt block and reinforcing them one by one would hold up?
Amazing work Lovely 🌹😊
❤❤❤
Love your tutorial! Makes me happy that I was using a couple of your exact methods I’m very interested in your embroidery stand which gives you two hands to use your laying tool. Can you tell us the name brand and where we might get it?

Fabulous Sarah thank you so much ❤ I would appreciate some guidance on bead suppliers in the UK ❤
Spellbound and The Bead Shop, Nottingham - both online!
Hi love your channel. Was YT searching and yours popped up. Can you tell me which technique is the best if you happen to break a bead thread and don't want all the beads to come off. where ever it breaks it stops there. thank you!! (Linda)
So stunning Sarah, but how fiddly. I have used beads for infill and it seems to go on forever. Lovely designs though. Liz
I m sorry, but I cannot download this design! I did download the others, but not this one, it will not open! Thakyou Sarah, you are marvellous!
Absolutely beautiful use of beads. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to source a good bead supplier. I've found some on Amazon but I'd much rather use an independent company, in the UK. Where do you source yours?
All over the place! Try Spellbound, The Bead Shop Nottingham and the Southampton Bead Shop - all online
Hi Sarah to you have any recommendations for fabrics which would be suitable for lots of embroidery and beadwork? I've chosen to embroider my own dress for my wedding next year but I'm struggling to find a fabric sturdy enough. I just tried silk organza recently when I did a stitch sample and found the fibers moved around a lot leaving holes or the threads would pull the weave of the fabric open slightly, even when stitching as lightly as I could. I've ordered some illusion tulle sample to test next but I was wondering if you might have some recommendations to narrow down my fabric search 🥰
You can do tambour embroidery of very sheer fabric so maybe look at this technique rather than changing fabric?
Tools needed? New here so what do I need you to start? Bead board, frame?
Hi Sarah! I'm working on a slow-stitch journal cover and these ideas are super. One question - does it matter the order in which beads are worked? For example, should I do all the stitching on a project and then add beads, or can I move from area to area as you are doing here? I am going to try the lovely pattern you have gifted us. It would make a lovely center medallion on a journal.
I would probably add them last as the thread can get tangled round them but see what works for you!
Hi, Sara. What is the difference between these methods and "Japanese Beading" (Like that from Margaret Lee) I have been fascinated with this type of be!ading and have been having lots of trouble obtaining her book here in Canada without paying a huge amount of money for it. I love following you and really enjoy all of your videos. Thank you!
I am struggling with sewing beads and flowers on the already made dress because the back doesn't look neat that way. Do you have some video on doing the beads, pearls or 3d flowers on Muslin fabric for example... Or idea how to hide the back of this where uneven thread is showing😊
Thank you for this tutorial, I have been really helpful for my cosplay. But what's the thing called that you have your fabric attached to?
CAN YOU USE fishing line sewing those
Hi Sarah, what is that little ‘table’ you are working on? ❤
Please advise.
I need to cover my deep neckline V . I am thinking about attaching a bridge of beads. What is the best way to achieve that.
Thanks
This is timely because I was wondering recently what to do with my beads - I'm tired of making jewelry! I tried to download the PDF but that doesn't seem to work. The others all work fine. Can you take a look, please? Thanks so much!
Working now Sharon!
Thank you SO Much fro this beautiful lesson, I am however having a problem with the download, it does not seen to be working, All the other downloads are . Hope you can help , looking forward to starting soon I see that some of the other viewers also have a problem downloading . Kind regards Heather.
Working now Heather!
I do not have any beads. Will you recommend a source, please? I see that you use a variety of beads, but is the 2mm a useful size?
Did you make your Stand

No no no no……..never pierce your thread with needle!! It weakens your thread.
Thanks!
