Good morning, Happy Friday, and welcome to the weekend! November is slipping away, isn’t it?
Here’s a short video tutorial for the beaded cable chain stitch. It’s been a loooooong, long time since I’ve added a stitch video tutorial to Needle ‘n Thread, but this one will come in handy shortly, for all those who are following along with
Twinkle, Twinkle, the latest stitch-along that we’re working through together here on Needle ‘n Thread.
Above, you can see a simple line of beaded cable chain stitch.
If you’re keen on working a chain-like line of embroidery stitches, with beads between each link of the chain, this is a perfect way to do that. There are other ways to bead a chain stitch, but this particular chain stitch variation works really well as a beaded stitch.
You see, with the cable chain stitch, you have a little bar between each chain stitch. The bar is perfectly suitable for holding a bead. And the little knot that contributes to the formation of the bar helps to hold the bead in place. It just works so well!
Plus, once you get the whole rhythm of the stitch going, you’ll find it’s any easy and quick stitch to work up!
Here’s the video:

It’s a terrific little stitch – I hope you enjoy it and I hope you find other uses for it in your own embroidery projects!
