OK, Longtrail....I am by no means an accomplished beadworker. The old women I know, and a lot of men, put me to shame. But here is the basics of how I was taught. The first picture is laying down the first line. It has less to do with number of beads than it does space taken up. The thread is doubled and knotted at the end, with the knot laying under the beads. the second pic is how the needle goes through after that first line, setting up the next line right next to the first. after the first line is down, add tape. some women scrawl the whole pattern on the hide first and just follow the pattern. You can also see how the hide rolls over the finger to make it easier to get the needle back up close. remember to only go half way through the hide. the next pic is what we have after two lines. now, just keep going. the last two pics are a couple examples of my attempt at lazy stitch. good luck

Thanks Killstwo. I might just have to dig my beads out from under the stairs and give it a try. The masking tape is a great idea, must remember that one. dlt
