[lace] bobbin lace & beads

2006-08-02 Thread dredman4
I have a question regarding using beads in your design. I have a flower design I would like to try (original) using beads. I think I will be doing it in half stitch (again I will be playing to see what works), but I do want beads in it to make it look puffier and 3D. Do you add the beads to

In my experience half stitch doesn't have "workers". I prefer to use a fine crochet hook, pass the bead on to it, pull through one bobbin thread ( worker or passive, which ever is appropriate for the design) and transfer the bead to the thread loop, then pass the second bobbin through the loop. So

Half stitch has only a single worker, so you could put all the beads on that thread. You may need to put on an extra twist at the pinhole to achieve this - depends on how your footside works. When working in half stitch, I have found it to be difficult to attach beads using the crochet hook me
