Bead Embellishments
Hi,
has anyone tried adding beads as an embellishment and used their sewing machine to attach individual beads? I’m making an art piece where I initially planned to use beads for embellishment. However, I forgot about the fused appliqué being an issue when trying to hand sew beads on. Any more than one layer and it’s nigh on impossible to get a sewing needle through the fused fabric layers. I searched for machine application and found one tutorial for it. Has anyone tried it?? I’m sure my machine will stitch through the fused appliquéd fabric….done that before. One of the biggest areas needing beads, I fused only the circumference perimeter so that I can do by hand on the inside. It’s the other areas that are multiple layer fuses. I plan to quilt before embellishing. Thanks for any insight to this proposed process.
