But I find if my front and back are both medium weight ultrasuede, and I use a brick stitch and pull the stitching *just* tight enough, the thread will disappear into the fluffiness of the suede pretty well, and all you see is the beads. You don't need to stitch very deeply into the ultrasuede, the edge won't ravel and with so many small stitches, the strain is minimal.<br /><br />I started stitching on Lacy's Stiff Stuff, but moved to ultrasuede only, so I can get the color I want. Then I stiffen with a layer of thin cardboard glued inside, and back with another layer of ultrasuede. I like the flexibility of working directly on the suede.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525135972821441656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284884316719285197.post-85483512627183071152010-12-12T09:45:21.305-06:002010-12-12T09:45:21.305-06:00Thanks so much ladies.

I do bead embroidery and finish off my edges by doing a whip stich with 2-3 beads on each stitch, sewing the front to the back. No backing or thread visable.<br />CenyaEmerald Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728298203537429758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284884316719285197.post-77546768553199992602010-12-11T20:17:18.116-06:002010-12-11T20:17:18.116-06:00This is gorgeous!
