Troubleshooting

Beads not staying on the fabric.

Ensure you are using the correct stitch and thread tension. Double-check that the needle is passing through the fabric and securing each bead properly. Use a double knot on your thread for extra security.

Thread tangling frequently.

Use a shorter length of thread (about 18 inches) to prevent excessive tangling. Ensure the thread is not twisted before starting to stitch.

Difficulty picking up small beads.

Use a beading needle with a slightly larger eye if needed, or employ a bead यासाठी (for) needle threader. Work in a well-lit area.

Running out of a specific bead color.

Contact customer support for replacement bead information. Alternatively, similar bead colors from other craft stores can be used, though exact matches may vary.
