Flosstubeversity MIRABILIA SERIES - How to Bead Cross Stitch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- 00:25 Welcome: We continue to celebrate #miramay this month by releasing tutorials enabling you to stitch a Mirabilia Designs cross stitch. There is a playlist for this month so if you enjoy thi svideo please be sure to check out the other videos. Next video to be released within the week is How to Convert Skin to 1 over 1 Stitching.
03:08 The Beads
Most common beads are Mill Hill Beads however there are many others on the market. Main bead sizes are 15/0 (1.5mm) known as petite beads, 11?0 (2.1-2.5mm) known as seed, antique, glass, magnifica, 8/0 (3.1) known as a pony bead which can be in a size 8/0 or larger 6/0. The larger the bead number, the smaller the bead will be, think fabric count - a 15/0 bead means you can fit 15 beads per inch.
06:48 The Needles
Do I need a beading needle? If you are using petite beads (size 15/0) then you need a size 10 or beading needle. All other beads will fit on a size 28 needle. If you have troubles threading your needle, why not try a "Big Eye Needle" available on amazon. Common needle brands: John James, Tulip, Bohin, Beadalon, DMC and there are many others out there!
09:05 The Floss
There are 4 main types of floss:
1) DMC - single strand, can match your fabric, or stitching, or bead, can be ironed, you will have it on hand!
2) K O Floss - traditional polyester beading floss, can be ironed, available online/bead shops
3) Nymo Floss - flat nylon floss, very thin, can melt if ironed, theres a little stretch, available online/LNS
4) YLI or Wonder Invisible Floss - we all love to hate this option! Allows your to attach beads with no visible floss, but can be hard to work with due to limited visibility, nylon base, can melt if ironed, very stretchy, available online and quilting/LNS
19:50 Miscellaneous Tools
Bead containers: fabric trays, Beadalon mats, Tacky Bill/Bob Tack/Tacky Bob, diamond art trays, weighted dish
23:15 Fabric Count & Bead Size
Recommended fabric for Mirabilia and Nora Corbett Designs are always 32 count. Some people fear the beads will not fit nicely therefore will always stitch theirs on a 28 count. Some people will stick with the 32 count however will use only petite beads. The orientation of the stitched beads determines how many stitches will actually fit per square inch. The theory goes, if you are using regular mill hill size 11/0 you should fit 11/0 beads in one inch if they are stitched on a half stitch (angle) however most people feel you truly fit 9-10 beads. If you stitch your bead horizontally you can fit more beads in that 1 inch, i.e. 11-12 beads. If you are stitching vertical beads you end up fitting drastically less beads in an inch i.e. 6-7. If you choose to size up from a 32 ct to a 28 ct fabric please be mindful to use a fabric calculator as you will require a larger piece of fabric than the recommended size.
28:36 Bead Storage
We recommend Art Dot Storage Containers found readily on amazon. Other options are the clear tackle boxes people use for bobbin storage.
30:18 When to Bead
One can bead as they stitch but please be mindful these glass beads can be crushed. If you use a scroll frame, beading as you go could be a good option, but its not the best option for any frame that provides pressure to clamp the fabric.
Most people leave beading for last once the fabric has been washed (if you wash your finished pieces) and ironed. Post beading, most people do not iron their projects.
Personally I have started using larger Q-snap frames to frame up the entire stitched piece in one go and i can complete all the backstitching and beading without wrinkling my project or crushing beads.
Bead orientation: horizontal, vertical, leaning to the right, leaning to the left, directional. How you choose to stitch your beads can create the appearance of movement if beaded on an angle or directional. Mirabilia instructions are to stitch all beads on an angle with a half stitch (tent stitch).

Thanks for tuning in today, happy stitching this weekend :)
Watched with rapt attention...you are a good teacher! Thank you! 😁
Haha thank you! Thank you for tuning into the tutorial. Happy beading!
Your tutorials are absolutely the best.! Thank you for sharing.❤
My pleasure and thank you for watching them! Happy stitching :)
Thank you for the great tutorial on beading. I will definitely rewatch when I start beading my Petal Fairy.
You’re welcome 😊 Happy to hear it is useful for you!
Thanks so much for taking the time to go through this process- I think it will make my beading decisions so much easier
Oh that makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for tuning in and happy beading!
Thank you for this video! I bought my first cross stitch project involving beads, not the same as jewelry beading, so I was thrilled to find you had this tutorial! It is excellent!
Oh how perfect is that! I hope the tutorial helps you out and you enjoy beading your new project! Happy beading :)
Excellent instruction! I just recently stitched a small Mill Hill kit with beading. I had no idea there was so much to think about when it came to stitching larger pieces like Mirabilia’s. This is good information to know. You have done a wonderful job explaining what one needs to know.
Thanks for tuning in and I’m glad to hear the video gave you something to think about :) happy stitching 🧵🪡
Thank you very much for a great episode with lots of good advice. I just find. I just found your floss tube and it has already become one of my favorites❤❤❤
Oh how wonderful! Thanks for choosing to share your time with me :) happy stitching 🧵 🪡
Oh, I so needed these tips on ways to bead. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! Thanks for tuning into the tutorial :) Happy beading!
I think I am addicted to your tutorial videos! Thank you so much for them, I hope there will be many more! I started te "letter S" and it goes really nice! I love stitching all my projects but some of them, for an unknown reason to me, are more satisfying to stitch than others and "letter S" is one of them! Now I am looking forward to the beading part and to your new video! Thanks again 😃🧵🪡
Wonderful! Addicted to tutorials is a great thing as you will learn so much! Now, can I keep up with you? lol. Happy to hear you are really enjoying the S. some stitches just feel btr than others and I’m glad you found one that feels good to you :)
@@FibersandFlossCanada I have two questions! Actually one question and one suggestion. So, if you don't mind me asking, your name is Arica or Erica? I see it written here both ways and I can't really say for sure when I hear if from Samantha! I think that it's Arica but just to be sure 😊 Second, do you think a video/tutorial about fractional stitches on linen and/or on 1 over 1 for the skin (if there is a difference), could be an idea, when and if you'll feel like it? Thanks again 😊🧵🪡
@@stavroulak.503 thanks for asking, it’s Arica. I’m filming a 1x1 skin conversion tutorial today and will cover fractional stitches in a later video although I will be touching on them briefly today
@@FibersandFlossCanada Thank you, thank you Arica😀🧵🪡
Absolutely fantastic, informative tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge.
Thank you for watching! Happy stitching this weekend :)
A big thank you for doing this informative and extensive video, I will be rewatching many times for sure when I get to the beading part of my first Mira
You are so welcome! Im happy to hear you are stitching your first Mira! Thanks for tuning in today and happy beading when the time comes :)
This was SO helpful! Thank you for doing this tutorial Erica. I loved it and definitely gave me some tips for when I try beading for the first time!
You are most welcome! There are so many different ways to bead and so many options to think about! Good luck when the time comes and reach out if you need a hand with anything :) Thanks for tuning in today, I will be watching your most recent flosstube this afternoon :)
I’ve loved this series of tutorials that you’ve shared! So much great information and it has made me feel more confident going into the skin/beading sections of my first Miras.
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed them. Happy beading and stitching 🧵🪡
Thank you so much for this video! I've been super intimidated by invisible floss but after seeing you use it in real time, I definitely want to give it a go on my next beaded project!
That’s excellent news! It can be challenging at times and quite enjoyable at others. At least when you go frustrated with it you will not be alone in that 🤣 Happy stitching and thank you for sharing your time with me today :)
Such a detailed and informational tutorial. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Thank you for turning in and watching it. I hope you learn something new and are able to enjoy the meeting you were doing :)
Great beading video Arica!
Thanks for tuning in and happy beading!
Amazing tutorial. Love the options on beading….i will be using this as I start my beading. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome! Im happy to hear this video has been useful. Thank you for sharing your time with me today
Great demonstration with so many different options to consider. You've answered some questions I've had as I've never beaded any of my projects before and currently am working on one that requires beads. Thankyou.
Oh this is great to hear! Thank you for sharing your time with me. I hope you will enjoy the beading process :)
This was so helpful.Thank you for taking the time to do this. Love your channel❤
Thanks so much, it means a lot when ppl share comments like this, you’ve made my morning. Thanks for sharing your time with me :)
Another great video. I've done some Mill Hill kits, but I still learned a bunch watching your tutorial. Especially with the orientation of the beads. So much to think about within the patterns. I love it.
Awesome, thank you! Thanks for tuning back in and I’m happy to hear you have learnt something new for you :)
Wow!! That was the best information ever! Have 3 Mira’s in progress but haven’t finished yet! I’ve never done any beading! Learned a lot! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your kind comments and tuning in today. Good luck with the beading and if you have any questions or troubles just reach out to:) Happy beading!
Fantastic video! Thank you.
thanks you and thank you for sharing your time with me today
Thank you for this video just what I was looking for planning to tackle first few beaded projects soon 🙏
Oh perfect! Thank you so much for tuning in today and I’m happy to hear you are going to give beading a try - I hope you love it!!
Excellent tutorial! I wanted to put some beads on a Christmas stocking I am working on. I was afraid to (never worked with beads before), but now I think I shall be fine with the beading. :) Thank you so much for spending you valuable time to make the video! ❤
Oh how lovely! I would recommend attaching them with DMC. Christmas stockings are explained to so much excitement and I would fear a bead will catch and the invisible thread would stretch! Happy stitching :)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm starting back on a project I started about 25 yrs ago but stopped because I ran out of the color of bead. I'm going to take out the ones I have put in if I can't find the same color and after watching your video I'm so excited to get back to beading again. I am so glad your video came up in my feed as a suggestion. I will definitely be following you. Happy Stitching! ❤
Aw thank you so much and I’m super happy to hear this may help facilitate a 25+ year finish! Sometimes it feels sooooo good to pull out those old projects and finish them off :) happy stitching and BEADING!
Great tutorial! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! Thank you for tuning in today :)
I learned so much. Thank you for these videos
I'm so glad! Thank you for tuning into the series and making them a success :)
I was Inspired by your video to count the hand dyed lugana to see if it had shrunk. Only by one thread. I then tried the mill hill beads size 11 on that linen and they fit, but we're oversized. I then tried delica beads size 11 and they fit perfectly!
I am going to try and convert to delica beads. Thanks for your tutorial!
Thanks for tuning in :) I have heard delicas fit a bit better and they are cheaper so it’s a win win!! Happy beading 🙂
Great information, thank you!
Glad it was helpful, thank you for tuning in today!
Thank you for sharing! Just started following you. I am just getting back into cross stitching and really love the Mirabilia patterns. I have quite a number of them that need to be stitched.
You are so welcome! What a problem to have, so many beautiful patterns to stitch 🙃 Thanks for tuning into the tutorial. Happy stitching and beading!
Love this tutorial ❤❤
Thank you!!
I don't know what the hell I'm doing, priceless, I can't stop laughing girl.
Haha well, I think I tend to have a lot of those moments but most get edited out haha. Thanks for tuning in today :)
Amazing and TRULY HELPFUL video, thank you.
Recently discovered your channel, you have lovely work !
Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear you found the video helpful :)
Thank you ⚾️
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive tutorial on beading a Mirabilia. This is SO helpful to me as I will be beginning my first Mira in a couple of days! I’ve watched all your tutorials and cannot express my gratitude for how helpful and informative they have been. I appreciate the amount of work and preparation it takes for you and all flosstubers to create these wonderful, helpful and entertaining videos for us all. Thank you again and hoping to see many more to come!
You are so welcome! Your comments make me so happy! This is exactly why our community takes the time and effort to make these videos. I am so happy to hear they have been helpful for you. Good luck on your project and if you end up with questions or need any help please reach out :) Happy stitching!
Tacky Bob's are too sticky for me. I use a bit of painters tape rolled and placed on a plastic Tupperware lid. Works like a champ and I don't throw beads when I try to take them off.
That’s a great idea Christina! Thanks so much for sharing your time with me today :)
Tacky Bill you can run water over it to clean it. I have to use one because my cats would cause me to lose my beads. Thank goodness the one time coco knocked my tray over. I had it on my tacky bead holder. I also have one called a tacky buddy that’s a needle minder out of plastic for beading.
Also I use a Bohin 28 ct and I can do most of the beads in a pack of petite beads.
Oh really! I wonder if the Bohin needle eyes are a bit smaller then? Good to know you can easily rinse off the tacky bill! Thanks for tuning back in today :)
@@FibersandFlossCanada You’re welcome Arica! I do find it to be a bit slimmer. All I can say is try the 28 on petite beads and you should find the same.
Excellent video too
I learned about the tacky Mat when I was doing diamond painting and that’s where I learned how to take care of them.
Thank you for that video. I was waiting for it.😊❤
You made it to seem so easy, so when I’m going to bead my Mirabilia I’m going to see it again and again.
I’m thinking to start my Mirabilia trip from stitching the Starlet. It’s a big pattern but it requires only one package of beads and as I can see from the pictures of it the beads are at the bottom of her dress. So it seems less stressful for me but your advise to start from a Mill Hill kit is awesome 😊
Thank you for all the effort that you put in your videos.👏👏👏👏🌺💕
Thank you again Mary! Im sure your dress will be lovely and if you run into any questions or problems please reach out :) Happy stitching!
Thank you so much! Agree with previous comment- I have stitched and beaded for years, but, learned some new tricks today. This one will definitely be saved. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful! Thank you store sharing your time with me today. Happy stitching!
Hi Arica. Very comprehensive. Everyone does things that work for them. So it is good to see options. I did two L&L angels back in the day and Mira seasonal queens. I used 1 strand of floss in a similar colour to the bead, a John James beading needle and I attached the beads on a diagonal. Basically with a half stitch. But I went through the bead twice.
Thanks for tuning back in this morning. I think that’s key is realizing there isn’t a right way to do things, it’s learning a variety of options and figuring out what works for you. When I did my 2 L&L back in the late 90s I did them exactly the same as you! Happy stitching :)
🧚♀️💕
Thanks for tuning in :)
My pattern doesn’t say what size bead to use. It only says #02010 glass seed bead. Is seed bead the size I need?
Thanks for tuning in this am :) Yes all 02000s are all glass seed beads and only come in the one size 11/0. For this you can use a size 28 needle or a beading needle (which is much sharper).
Excellent tutorial! I have done a lot of beading over the years on Mill Hill kits, needlepoint canvases and cross stitch pieces. I learned several things from you. I had not thought to use several different slants or columns on one piece, depending on the design. Thank you so much!
Oh how fantastic! I love how we are all constantly learning. Even by sharing this video I’m sure I will learn some things that are new to me too! Thanks for tuning in today and happy stitching :)
