bead question

Post by happiegirl »

hi, this is my first time using beads... i think i have the general idea down on what beads to use and how to attach them, but i wanted to secure my beads in the corner of the aida square rather than on the square which most methods would place the bead... if anyone has any suggestions it would be very appreciated... this is a link to a thread where there was a picture of a bird with a bead for it's eye which was in the corner to show what i'm trying to do

Seems sensible -- I've never done it but it's what I was about to suggest you try :-). Glad C_F has already tried it out for us!
