CHOOSING MATERIALS

FINISHING SUGGESTIONS

beading on

needlepoint canvas

Matching seed beads to the appropriate canvas

11 o seed beads can be used with #14 interlock canvas (the threads are

woven together so they don’t move from their relative positions). This combi-

nation produces a strong, relatively stiff result that is appropriate for belts,

purses, eyeglass cases and other end uses that require strength.

Delica beads can be used with #16 duo canvas (doubled threads are

woven loosely and will move when completed, but remain stable during stitch-

ing because of the starched finish). This combination is excellent for use in

garments (collars, cuffs, inserts) because the resulting beadwork has a soft

hand that moves with the garment.

15 o seed beads can be used with #18 interlock canvas (the threads are wo-

ven together so they don’t move from their relative positions). This combination

gives the best design detail and can be used for intricate pictorial designs. Excel-

lent for use in small pieces such as jewelry items and holiday ornaments.

Beadpoint is essentially “needlepoint backwards.” 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 irst 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”.

Finishing beadpoint items

Straighten the canvas if the stitching has produced distortion. The alternate

long-short backstitch method described on reverse will minimize distortion.

If the piece is small or the distortion mild, place the piece beads-down on an

ironing board and infuse the back-threads with steam from an iron or steamer.

Pull gently until the piece is squared to itself; allow it to cool completely before

handling further. For more severe distortion, wet the entire piece, then towel off

the excess moisture. Stretch the piece until it is square to itself, then secure it

to a clean, unfinished wood surface with non-rusting fasteners such as staples

or push-pins (B). Allow to dry; remove fasteners carefully.

Framing is a wonderful way to display beadpoint; cover glass should not be used. The frame opening should be

precisely the same size as the beadpoint; mount the stitched piece on cardboard for stability. Before mounting,

trim the excess canvas to about .75” (1.9cm).

Backing and lining may be required, depending on the end use. After

correcting the distortion, the excess canvas should be trimmed off. A

good rule of thumb is to leave five or six rows of canvas, or eight if the

piece will be subjected to wear. Corners should be notched as shown in

(C); curves should be notched as shown in (D). If you are using a woven

fabric, use your trimmed, notched piece as a template to cut it. Press the

trimmed, notched edges of the beaded piece and the lining toward the

back and secure them with slip-stitches (E). Sew the lining to the beaded

piece so very little of the canvas shows on the back and edges, then

construct your piece according to its end use.

Non-woven backing such as felt, ultrasuede

or lightweight leather can be fitted after the

raw edges of the beadwork are pressed and

slip-stitched. You can secure the non-woven

to the threaded back of the beadwork with

slip-stitches or glue. Photo (F) shows the

corner of a squared piece with felt backing

glued in place.

FIRST ROW: Bring the needle up at 1

and then reinsert it through the hole

at 2. You will then pass it under two

canvas threads to put it in position

at 3, where it is brought up from

front to back again. Follow the

numbers in order until the first

row is complete (8). The

threads on the back of the

canvas will remind needle-

pointers of “continental”

stitch.

��

SECOND ROW: Bring the needle up at 9 in position

to begin the second row. Follow the numbers in order

until the second row is complete (16). The thread

on the back of the canvas of row 2 will remind

the needlepointer of “half cross” stitch. Row 3

will begin at number 17 on the next diagram. All

rows hereafter will alternate “long backstitch”

(continental) and “short backstitch” (half

cross) to minimize canvas distortion. See

photo (A) for an example of how the

back of the canvas should look after

several rows.

THIRD ROW: Bring the needle up at 17 in posi-

tion to begin the third row. Follow the numbers in

order until the third row is complete (24). The

pattern of stitching on row 4 and all even

numbered rows will be the same as for row

2. The pattern of stitching on row 5 and

all odd numbered rows will be the same

as for row 1.

The back of your canvas should

look similar to the photo A. Rows

of long backstitch and short

backstitch should alternate
