Adding Sequins

Sometimes I add sequins to provide extra sparkle or texture to a quilt. I added some sequins to my "extreme texture" piece. You can see that here.


A seed bead is used to "anchor" the sequin to the cloth. First, place your sequin in the desired location on your fabric. Bring your needle up through the hole in the sequin, take your needle through your seed bead, and then back down through the hole in the sequin.
Give this a try either on a sample piece or on a quilt that needs that little something extra. Tomorrow I'll show you stacked beads and give you some information on another giveaway.
