You know those super-clear instructions that you get from Bead & Button magazine (or from any Kalmbach publication, for that matter)? Well, here is the handbook that you've been waiting for, that puts all the instructions for all of the stitches in one spot: Bead Stitching Handbook by the editors of B&B! Here's a list of the stitch instructions that are included:
Peyote, netting, ladder, brick, square, herringbone, right-angle weave, crossweave, fringe, bead embroidery, spirals & helixes, chenille, chevron, St Petersburg chain, loomwork, and bead crochet. Wow! All the fundamentals in one handy book.
The book also includes the variations of each stitch, so for example, you'll get instructions for flat, circular, and tubular, plus how to increase and decrease. AND it also covers special tasks the stitch is really useful for, like creating bezels with peyote stitch, stitching two-drop, diagonal, Dutch and Cellini spirals, etc. There are tips included for using shaped beads with certain stitches too.
Bead Stitching Handbook has 20 projects included, but it would be worth it even without them!
