Circle Stitches

Circle Stitch on a new bead or beads:

Circle Stitch to weave/secure 

threads:

I use at least 3 circle stitches to secure each thread.  

There are many other paths to follow when creating  

circle stitches.  This is just one example.

Circle Stitch to join 2 pieces of bead work together:

1.)  Start at the first green bead.

Insert needle down the 1st pink.  

Insert needle up the same green.

3.) Start at the bottom of the  next green bead.
Insert needle UP the 2nd pink.
Insert needle down the same green.

2.) Reposition: move to the 

next bead.
