0:00:07.360,0:00:11.620 Hi this is Julie with Beadaholique.com
and I'm going to show you how to bead
0:00:11.620,0:00:13.629 embroider a bezel row around a cabochon.
0:00:13.629,0:00:17.099 In this example here you can see we already
have a cabochon which is glued to Lacy's
0:00:17.099,0:00:18.560 Stiff Stuff.
0:00:18.560,0:00:23.310 We've done a single row of bead
embroidery using two bead back stitch along
0:00:23.310,0:00:25.959 the exterior perimeter of the cabochon.
0:00:25.959,0:00:27.550 So to do the bezel row
0:00:27.550,0:00:31.369 what we're gonna do is take size
15/0 beads.
0:00:31.369,0:00:35.879 You can use 14/0 as well but I want to show
you a comparison for the base row where we
0:00:35.879,0:00:39.880 did around the cabochon. It was a size 11/0.
As you can see
0:00:39.880,0:00:43.090 this quite a size difference and
that's what we want because we want to
0:00:43.090,0:00:44.230 continue
0:00:44.230,0:00:46.690 the nice dome shape of the cabochon.
0:00:46.690,0:00:51.110 The bezel row is gonna fit right
here between the base row and the cabochon
0:00:51.110,0:00:52.740 itself.
0:00:52.740,0:00:56.660 So I went ahead and I threaded
about forty inches of thread on my
0:00:56.660,0:00:57.930 beading needle.
0:00:57.930,0:01:01.020 So I want to show you a different way to
begin your beading. Instead of
0:01:01.020,0:01:05.510 tying a knot on the end of my beading
needle. I'm just going to let it be loose.
0:01:05.510,0:01:07.960 I'm going to take my needle
0:01:07.960,0:01:13.110 and I'm gonna carefully insert it
0:01:13.110,0:01:17.890 between my beads and cabochon. So
right in that crevice.
0:01:17.890,0:01:22.150 I'm going to pull my thread through the
tail and
0:01:22.150,0:01:26.050 about five or six inches.
0:01:26.050,0:01:29.530 I'm going to start just the same way I
began my other row I'm just gonna pick
0:01:29.530,0:01:32.550 up two beads
0:01:32.550,0:01:35.270 onto my beading needle
0:01:35.270,0:01:37.890 and I'm gonna go ahead and
0:01:37.890,0:01:41.940 conceptualize where they're going to lie.
I'm going to move
0:01:41.940,0:01:44.890 over about space of two beads.
0:01:44.890,0:01:48.620 Bring that needle down into
the crevice between
0:01:48.620,0:01:53.620 my base row and my cabochon
0:01:53.620,0:01:57.160 and pull through. I'm going to do the same
thing I did before if watched the video on how to
0:01:57.160,0:01:58.650 weave a back stitch.
0:01:58.650,0:02:01.510 I'm gonna now go up into my bead
work
0:02:01.510,0:02:04.840 again in that valley between my
0:02:04.840,0:02:07.580 first row and the cabochon.
0:02:07.580,0:02:11.570 I'm going to pull but I'm not going
to pull tight. I'm going to show what happens
0:02:11.570,0:02:13.659 if I were to pull tight.
0:02:13.659,0:02:14.650 You see it's
0:02:14.650,0:02:18.430 distorting my base row a little bit so I don't
pull tight.
0:02:18.430,0:02:21.859 I want them to sit on top there
0:02:21.859,0:02:28.369 and then go through the two I just embroidered.
0:02:28.369,0:02:32.189 Thread knot it a little bit
0:02:32.189,0:02:36.290 just work it out though it's not a true knot.
0:02:36.290,0:02:40.719 Here we go.
0:02:40.719,0:02:46.019 Pull that down and they're just sitting
on top if you can see this from the side.
0:02:46.019,0:02:49.719 They're just sitting on top of my
second row in that well.
0:02:49.719,0:02:51.119 So I'm going to go ahead
0:02:51.119,0:02:53.430 pickup two more beads
0:02:53.430,0:02:55.979 on to my needle
0:02:55.979,0:03:00.869 again I'm going to visualize where they're
going to fall.
0:03:00.869,0:03:04.429 Place my needle in that valley
0:03:04.429,0:03:07.149 pull through
0:03:07.149,0:03:13.059 Now go back up
0:03:13.059,0:03:15.030 and I'm going to go through
0:03:15.030,0:03:17.510 three beads.
0:03:17.510,0:03:24.510 Sew on two. Go back through three. Sew on
two. Go back through three.
0:03:26.119,0:03:28.589 Just be careful you're tension, you want
them to
0:03:28.589,0:03:31.749 sit on top of that other row you already
strung. You don't wanna pull them down
0:03:31.749,0:03:34.959 so it's not distorted. I don't want them to
be hovering
0:03:34.959,0:03:36.829 loosely up there either.
0:03:36.829,0:03:43.829 When you get into this you'll see what I'm
talking about and again two beads
0:03:44.569,0:03:51.569 and then back through three.
0:03:53.569,0:03:57.749 You can go all the way around your
entire cabochon like this. You can see how
0:03:57.749,0:04:00.129 that's starting to look.
0:04:00.129,0:04:03.409 I've almost completed my entire bezel
round and I want to show you how to finish
0:04:03.409,0:04:06.529 it. So I've got just a little bit a gap
left.
0:04:06.529,0:04:09.129 I'm going to continue the same process
0:04:09.129,0:04:15.379 add two beads
0:04:15.379,0:04:19.789 stick that needle down into that
crevice area.
0:04:19.789,0:04:26.789 Go back through three.
0:04:35.500,0:04:39.060 So I got just a small gap left and at this
point you have to make a judgment call. Is that
0:04:39.060,0:04:42.860 a one bead or two bead gap I'm going to call
it a one bead gap.
0:04:42.860,0:04:45.849 I'm going to add one bead.
0:04:45.849,0:04:49.619 I'm going to put my needle down in between
that crevice but right up against that
0:04:49.619,0:04:56.619 first bead I started on.
0:04:56.889,0:04:59.789 Pull my needle down through
0:04:59.789,0:05:02.050 Go up through again
0:05:02.050,0:05:09.050 three beads
0:05:12.930,0:05:14.889 and since this is my last round
0:05:14.889,0:05:19.469 I actually want to go all the way
around all the beads again.
0:05:19.469,0:05:22.740 I could just pull my thread through and
go through the three beads
0:05:22.740,0:05:27.269 or I can catch more since I'm going to have
to be doing a round anyways.
0:05:27.269,0:05:32.710 I'm going to go through as many beads
I can
0:05:32.710,0:05:37.910 Pull my thread
0:05:37.910,0:05:39.680 Go through the next bead
0:05:39.680,0:05:46.680 You don't wan to skip over any beads. Make
sure you go through all of them.
0:05:57.119,0:06:00.939 You can see what I'm doing. I'm eventually
pulling this thread a little bit and
0:06:00.939,0:06:05.009 that's creating a little bit more of a gap
for me to get my needle in
0:06:05.009,0:06:07.059 between my beads.
0:06:07.059,0:06:09.969 You might find that it helps because it can
be a little bit hard especially when you're
0:06:09.969,0:06:12.840 working with these very tiny beads
0:06:12.840,0:06:15.930 to find that entry point.
0:06:15.930,0:06:19.090 I'm just pulling it down a little bit
0:06:19.090,0:06:24.070 not distorting the bead work at all but just
exposing hole a little bit.
0:06:24.070,0:06:25.159 I'm going to check my back
0:06:25.159,0:06:29.509 to see where exactly I started. Remember
we have this tail to tie a knot. I'm going
0:06:29.509,0:06:36.509 to show you what to do with it so just
kind of judge where that is.
0:06:37.339,0:06:44.339 You wanna make sure your definitely
going around all the beads
0:06:47.490,0:06:49.589 I've come all the way around. At this point
0:06:49.589,0:06:54.199 if my beads allow I can actually do
another passed through if I wanted to.
0:06:54.199,0:06:58.519 That's optional. These are on here and
they are secure and you sees I've got a nice even
0:06:58.519,0:06:59.610 round.
0:06:59.610,0:07:01.539 So I'm going to call it good
0:07:01.539,0:07:06.899 but if you want you can definitely go
through it again.
0:07:06.899,0:07:09.300 Right where needle came out
0:07:09.300,0:07:16.300 I'm going to press down through. You can tell
I'm coming out very close to a starting point.
0:07:16.910,0:07:19.800 Check my bead work. Make sure I'm happy with
it.
0:07:19.800,0:07:22.599 Now this is how you're gonna tie it off
0:07:22.599,0:07:25.160 and I just your thread so you don't have quite
as much.
0:07:25.160,0:07:27.009 Get rid of that needle.
0:07:27.009,0:07:28.499 You're just gonna make a knot.
0:07:28.499,0:07:29.739 First off just going to make
0:07:29.739,0:07:33.689 just a simple overhand knot.
0:07:33.689,0:07:37.689 Just was under over
0:07:37.689,0:07:39.699 pull that down
0:07:39.699,0:07:43.279 Now I'm going to do a surgeons knot
0:07:43.279,0:07:44.470 I'm going to take one
0:07:44.470,0:07:46.370 go over it under
0:07:46.370,0:07:48.319 and again
0:07:48.319,0:07:48.949 under
0:07:48.949,0:07:51.369 so I got double almost
0:07:51.369,0:07:53.000 pull that tight.
0:07:53.000,0:07:55.589 If you want to you can do
another knot
0:07:55.589,0:07:58.110 but you don't have to that it's going to hold
it
0:07:58.110,0:08:02.939 I'm going to take my thread zap
0:08:02.939,0:08:05.389 pull my end so I can see them
0:08:05.389,0:08:08.139 Make sure my knot is tight
0:08:08.139,0:08:14.310 which it is
0:08:14.310,0:08:16.539 zap off my threads.
0:08:16.539,0:08:18.719 That is how you make
0:08:18.719,0:08:20.389 a bezel row in bead embroidery.
