Quick Project Steps

Weaving in New Thread: Begin by threading a needle with your new thread. Start weaving it into your project away from where the old thread ended, using a diagonal stitch path for about two inches before starting your beadwork again.
Secure Knotting and Thread Burning: For a secure finish, perform a sewers knot by threading under a bridge thread between two beads, looping twice, and pulling tight. Use a thread burner to trim the excess thread, leaving a tiny bit which you then burn flush against your project.
Adding Thread in Tubular Projects: In tubular projects, knots can be hidden inside the beadwork. Thread a new piece and knot it near the end of the old thread, then pull one end of the knot back into the project to conceal it.
