Pick up a bead on the needle. Bring the bead down the thread, leaving 6-8 inches of thread as a tail. Bring the needle up through the bottom or tail end of the bead. When doing this, DO NOT split the thread as it will be removed later (in Step 2). It is important not to split the thread unless needed, anyway. This first bead will be your anchor bead. Continue with the stitch.
