Hi this is Megan with Beadaholique.com and today I'm going to show you how to
finish bead embroidery that has an Inserted Textile Piece
so
what I'm talking about is if you want to insert a piece of fabric or ribbon or
some other kind of textile
into your Bead Embroidery between your foundation and your backing
to
attach it to something else
you can still stitch an edging onto it
so you can see I did on this side already. I just did the basic beaded edge
which we do have a video on how to do that
and I did that all the way around and then I took it
across where I have this ribbon sandwiched in there. So I wanna show you
how to do that because that way you can use it for
putting ribbon and to make a bracelet or a choker
I put in long long lengths of ribbon here to make this into a
a waist satchel into a belt. I what to show you it's very similar to what you do
when there's not
something inserted
and you do need it to be a textile that you can stitch through
so you couldn't do this with
something coming out of here that is
rigid or solid that you can't stitch through
so I've been doing my basic beaded around the piece and I've been alternating between
two different colors of seed beads
so what you're going to do, if you know how to do the basic beaded edge
go ahead and watch that video first
you will need to know how to do that
once I come to
the edge of my ribbon, I'm going to go ahead and add a bead
just like I normally would
the big thing here is to hold your ribbon out of the way
don't let it fall behind and get folded. You wanna make sure when you hold it
straight
hold it
away so that it's not going to get
bunched so if it's loose like this and you don't go through the very edge
It will end up being puckered and bunched
hold it flat and straight
and you're going to insert your needle
through the top
just like in your regular edging
and I think I have one here that's going to be
outside
of the ribbon
one more that
I'm going to do just
like normal
and now I'm getting to the point where if I try to do that it's going to start
bunching my ribbon over
You would do this just
the same to start. You get your next bead
go down
through the top
Then you wanna make sure that you're coming out not
too far from the edge
but that you are
getting your backing piece also
catching that with your needle
pull this
down almost tight just like if you're doing a regular edging and now what you're
going to do
is
holding
your ribbon out
you're just going to take needle and you're gonna go right back
to the back
directly above
where it's coming out of the
backing material
go right through the very edge of your ribbon
and when you come
up the front then you're going to
go through that bead the same way you do for the edging when you don't have
a textile in there
pull tight and this will lay on top
of the ribbon
I'll show that again for the next one go ahead and grab your seed bead like normal
hold your ribbon straight and out of the way
go down through the top through all the layers, make sure you get the backing
and the only difference
between this and the regular beaded edge is that then you need to come up through
your ribbon
flip it over
go up
right above where it's coming out
right at the edge there
and pull it tight
You can see it's exactly the same thing, you just need to make sure that
you stitch back up through the very edge of your ribbon
and I'll show you one more time
get your bead
go down through the front
hold your ribbon straight
and you're gonna go
right
at the edge of the ribbon right at the above
back up through your bead
just like you normally would
As you can see
it's going to lay your ribbon right above
your textile
on the back is still going to be secure and it's going to be nice and neat
and tidy
and you're gonna have
your textile very securely
embedded into you piece
it's going to be a lot
neater and more secure than if you try to attach this after piece was finished
