This review is from: Beading Basics: 30 Embellishing Techniques for Quilters (Paperback)

This book offers exactly what the title says - basic beading techniques for quilters. It tells you about supplies to get started. The pictures of how to sew in the beads are very clear. And it gives several examples of finished projects. I only wish they had more pictures of beaded projects. Other than that, the book was just what I was looking for and very, very helpful for a person who had never done beading on fabric before. I bought another book titled Beaded Embellishment by Clarke and Atkins. Together they are a fabulous pair!

This review is from: Beading Basics: 30 Embellishing Techniques for Quilters (Paperback)

Mary Stori is a self-taught bead embroiderer who works on fabric and quilts. This book contains a lot of basic information about kinds of beads, equipment, how to begin and end stitching, and is accompanied by loads of photos.

I would like to have had some drawings to show me where to put my thread through the beads and into the fabric, since I am not sure about my technique in some stitches.

Mari Stori does her bead embroidery differently than others do but the book is an excellent text for beginners. Lots of color and examples.

It's got some cute ideas, but I was hoping it would be better than it was. I'll keep it anyway, though.
