Hi Weronica and orther newbies and welcome, You have had lots of answers to your questions on hands up or hands down, etc, but not much on beads unless you have the Cook book. I had a problem with a design where I wanted to add beads but not have the threads around the outside of the beads when sewing them in. My design was a tape lace and my solution was to look at the pattern and see where I wanted to add a bead in the spaces between the tapes. When I reached that pinhole on the first pass of the tape, I added a bead by pulling a worker thread loop through the bead and pinned it in position with a glass headed pin to where the next tape was going to be, and then going on my merry way with the tape. When my tape turned around and I reached the glasshead pin, I did a sewing with my crochet hook through the loop being held by that glasshead pin, tensioned everything and went back to my tape. The glassheaded pin was there to remind me to make that sewing, which made up for the inconvenience of having such a pin in the way as I made the tape towards it. The glassheaded pin was replaced by a regular pin and then used further up on the pattern. Cl ear as mud?
