STEP 1
Place a beading needle on your beading thread and tie a knot in the end. Sew into the edge of one of the pieces of fabric used in your project, working from the wrong side to the right side.
STEP 2
Place the edges of the two pieces of fabric together, wrong sides facing each other. String 2 - 3 seed beads onto the thread, loop the thread over the fabric edges, and sew through both pieces so you exit one beads' width from where you first entered the fabric.
STEP 3
String on the same amount of seed beads used in Step 2. Loop the thread over the fabric edges and sew through both pieces so you exit one bead's width from where you last exited.
STEP 4
Repeat Step 3 for the desired length.
STEP 5
Secure the thread and trim.
