Getting Started
Tammy teaches you some of the fundamental of bead weaving. Use these tricks throughout your new beading career!
Ladder Stitch
A truly fundamental stitch, ladder stitch is commonly used as the base for other stitches, such as brick and herringbone.
Flat Herringbone Stitch
Flat herringbone stitch is also called “ndebele” and is great for beads of different shapes and sizes.
Hubble Stitch
Hubble stitch is a fairly new stitch developed by Melanie de Miguel.
Chevron Stitch
Chevron stitch looks like triangles stacked on top of one another. You’ll need to create two or three triangles before you start to see your pattern.
Chenille Stitch
Chenille stitch is very symmetrical, so keeping an even tension is key when working it.
