Operation Tackle That Bead Stash!: Basic Stitch Tutorial - Ladder Stitch
http://tacklethatbeadstash.blogspot.com/2011/05/basic-stitch-tutorial-ladder-stitch.html
The Monthly Blog Challenge. Bead, Book and Bounce. Saturday, 21 May 2011. Basic Stitch Tutorial - Ladder Stitch. Today's basic stitch tutorial is ladder stitch, which is a very useful technique to learn. Incredibly easy to do, it often forms the basis for many other stitches, including herringbone and brick stitch. Pick up 4 seed beads, slide them down to the stop bead and sew through the first 2 seed beads in the same direction. Pick up 2 more seed beads and sew down through the adjacent pair of beads.

The Monthly Blog Challenge. Bead, Book and Bounce. Saturday, 28 May 2011. Basic Stitch Tutorial - Herringbone Stitch. First of all you need your ladder stitch base. Which for the purposes of this tutorial should be an even number of columns. I'm starting with a base of 8 columns, 2 beads high. You can start from a single row of beads but the double row is much easier to hold on to when you begin stitching. Then sew back up through the next bead. Sew up through the adjacent bead. When you've finished your...
