Sequin Work - Page 2

Now, fold and glue the excess fabric against the back of your work. I like to snip the excess fabric into little flaps that fold separately (this is particularly helpful around curved edges). By doing this, your edge stitches are reinforced and protected from fraying! Press it under a heavy book until dry.

Now, trace and cut some buckskin for backing material. Glue it to the back of your work and press under a heavy book to dry (remember to do any pre-work necessary for barrettes or ties before you glue it).

Next, just edge bead it and TaaahDaaaah!

This piece took me a total of 4 hours to complete, excluding drying time! Wicked coooool!

not sure what you're talkin about...like Wonder-Under or what?

plus, if you have to get your iron real hot it might fry the sequins.

I like how you used bugle beads for edging... do you have problems with them cutting through the thread being used this way? It just looks sharp!

I used "Blue Moon" brand bugles on this piece, and they seem to have more polished ends. I occasionally pull the thread too tight and it breaks, but I really didn't have much trouble with the beads cutting through the thread this time.

I too finally understand what to do, now all I need to do is go to Walmart, buy the materials and get started

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge with us
