BEADWEAVING—how to add more/new thread?
So far I’ve learned “brick” & “square” stitch. With both projects my thread ended before the project’s end, so what I did was add more thread by tying a knot. But that was problematic for both projects…..
1) had a hard time pulling the knot through the beads while weaving (toho beads)
2) the knot did not ultimately land inside a bead and thus invisible. Instead the knot always was showing which is quite ugly
So I have the following questions for the more experienced bead weavers…….
1) How do you add new thread to a beadweaving project?
2) Is your method the same for all stitches or is it different according to stitch?
3) Does your method ensure that the piece will not come undone later on?
Thank you for anyone who responds. I really appreciate it…..
