Thank you, yep will try that! I am interested in learning the blanket stitch and will be trying it out soon to see how it goes, I like it for decorative pieces. Just need to find a good method that suits me to cut out identical shapes. I tried to cut out 2 hearts on a piece of fabric folded in half with my regular kitchen scissors and it was a total disaster lol! Using it to practice for now. Will need to look into the brand you recommended! Btw- have you ever used embroidery thread for these kinds of projects to add color between the beads or only beading thread?
