"This is a great little booklet by Cassie & Nandra that covers just about everything you need to know about beads on your needlepoint:
Sizes and finishes (transparent, opaque, metallic, and more) that are available in seed beads
What size to use on which mesh of canvas
What size needles they like and more bare facts
"After that they get into a good explanation of beading thread, and how to prepare it for stitching. The booklet shows 5 ways of stitching your beads onto the canvas, and THEN they diagram 25 great stitches to use the beads.
"At $12.00 this booklet is a bargain. It is a mini-class between the covers."
