Working with Beads

Different bead types

information about stitches. The different bead
types include Start beads, Stop beads, Angle
line beads and Corner beads. You can slide
these beads along a path like beads on a
piece of string, allowing you to move them
precisely where you want them.

your keyboard and click the new start
