5.0 out of 5 stars A new slant on needlepoint for beaders, December 12, 2006

By	Fabric Crazy (Pfafftown, NC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beadpoint: Beautiful Bead Stitching on Canvas (Paperback)

I checked this book out at the library and was so impressed I decided to buy one. The book has a very informative section on beads to use and how to do the actual process. There are several projects that seem easily doable for a beginner as well as projects for intermediate and advanced needlepointers. It is an all around good book that will get you started in the technique and inspire you to try regular needlepoint projects using this new technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful projects, May 29, 2006

By	Rachel Tatner (KS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A nice range of wonderfully colorful projects. The charts are large full-to several page charts.

The first 24 pages are dedicated to information about beadpoint, the size, color and shapes of beads, calculating how many you need, preparing the canvas, thread, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great canvas beading book...., April 5, 2008

This review is from: Beadpoint: Beautiful Bead Stitching on Canvas (Paperback)

A very well presented and colorful book. Good info on all types of beads. Many pattern suggestions. Info on all tools you will need, and types of beads to use for any project. If you want to bead your needlepoint canvases this is the book for you. Do not waste your money on other books like I did. If I had bought this book first, I would have stopped here.
