Beaded backstitch

To stitch a line of beads, come up through the fabric from the wrong side. String 3 beads. Stretch the bead thread along the line where the beads will go, and go through the fabric right after the third bead. Come up through the fabric between the second and third beads and go through the third bead again. String 3 more beads and repeat. For a tighter stitch, string only 2 beads at a time.
