Beadpoint is needlepoint with beads. In beadpoint, the thread serves only to hold the bead to the canvas, whereas
in needlepoint, the thread itself comprises the visible stitch. The beadpoint thread will run perpendicular to the bead.
The tilt of the stitching diagrams below is similar to the tilt of the canvas if you hold it in your left hand and stitch with
your right hand. For left-handed stitchers, the position would be mirrored. The numbers show the precise location where
the needle should be inserted into the canvas hole. Bring the needle from the back of the canvas
to the front at odd numbers and from the front of the canvas to the back at even numbers. Use a doubled 24” strand of ordinary
sewing thread in a neutral color (it will not show), and #10 or 11 “between” needles. Tape the edges of the canvas with masking
tape and round the corners as shown here to prevent tangling and fraying. Secure threads by holding one inch on the back of
the canvas and catching the thread end in the first few stitches; end a thread by running it under stitches on the back of the
canvas, one or more times until secure. Your starting point should allow an unstitched canvas margin of about 1”.
