Well, to follow lines, I’d probably mostly stick with backstitching. Thread about 5 beads on your thread and take the needle down through the fabric just next to the last bead. Come back up between bead #2 and #3 and restitch through the last 3 beads. Add 5 more beads and repeat. Add fewer beads when going around tight curves. To straighten your lines, if needed, run the thread back and forth through the entire line multiple times to fill up the space and hold the beads still.

Help! I am starting a project where I want to embroider a logo (9′x4″aprox) with bugle beads and seed beads. Believe it or not, I used to do this a long time a go quite often.
I can’t remember how to actually sew and thread in order to follow the lines and fill out the spaces! Please help me!!!

You bet, Amanda! That’s a great idea. I’ll work up a basic design that uses a number of different stitches and post it with all the details. Thanks for the suggestion!
