Beaded Drizzle Stitch Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. To start, bring the needle up through the fabric at the base of the drizzle stitch.

2. Next, unthread the needle and place the needle tip into the fabric next to where the thread is coming out of the fabric.

3. Now cast stitches onto the needle. Do this by creating a crossed loop with the thread and pulling it tightly around the needle. Stitches should be stacked on the needle and not overlap each other. Cast on the desired number of stitches to the needle- the more stitches cast on, the taller the drizzle stitch will be.

4. Next, slide a seed beed on to the needle. Then thread the needle with the loose end of thread.

5. With the needle threaded, gently pinch the wrapped stitches and pull the needle through the fabric, creating a single drizzle stitch.
