For stitchers who are interested in adding sparkle to their embroidery using beads, you’ll quickly find that some kind of bead tray is a good thing to have on hand. A bead tray is pretty much just what it sounds like: a tray (or something similar) where you put your beads while you’re working with them. It keeps your working beads confined, so that they don’t roll about on the table, but it also allows you to easily access them with your needle.

Over the years I have done a fair amount of bead embroidery. Oh, okay – I have done a lot of bead embroidery. I don’t talk much about the base fabric that I use, but people have started asking what I use and why. When I started, I was using an interfacing fabric, then craft felt, interfacing with an iron-on “canvas”, Lacey’s Stiff Stuff, Nicole’s Bead Backing, and just recently a bead foundation by the BeadSmith company.

Who knew when I started dabbling in bead embroidery that it would bring me back to my favorite beading stitch – brick stitch? As I mentioned in my post on Getting Started with Bead Embroidery, my previous bead embroidery works involved covering stains on clothing, not making jewelry.
