Embellishment Question
I have never made an embellished (beaded) quilt before and have a basic question. Embellish before or after sandwiching and quilting? The quilt will not be heavily beaded, just in the outermost border and I am not sure how to do this. Do I sew the beads on first and risk breaking beads (and needles when quilting) or put the entire quilt together and then try to catch only the top when I put on the beads? I don't want the bead stitches to show through on the back, so I guess I have to put them on before. Suggestions please!!!
Thanks, thanks, thanks for ALL your help! QB members rock.
