What is Bead Embroidery?

Bead embroidery is an ancient hand embroidery technique. It traces its origin in Germany where it was done as early as 12th century. The bead embroidery patterns were first drawn onto the parchment and then attached to the fabric. Beads were strung onto one single thread, laid on the design in the desired manner and then couched into place with a thread and second needle. The modern bead embroidery patterns, however, generally require taking five to six beads on the needle at a time. The needle is then driven into the fabric and the beads are then couched with a second needle and thread into place. Generally, backstitch technique is used to run through many couched beads. A final thread is run through to make the bead embroidery design stable.
