Cheryl Fall, needlepoint editor for About.com, has posted a free cyber workshop featuring this beautiful Coins in the Fountain design. She says,
You’ll build your skills as you master the Continental Stitch, Cross Stitch, and Satin Stitch. You’ll also learn interesting, textured stitches including circular Jessicas, Eye Stitch, Double Straight Cross as well as Plaited Gobelin, and you will learn to attach seed beads to your completed needlepoint piece.

I am looking for a seed bead tutorial for #13 needlepoint canvas. Google said I would find one here by Allison Ann Aller. Have used #10 needles and they are too large for the bead. Also tried beading needles and they are too flexible. Now using a #5 embroidery needle even they are bending and I keep pricking my finger. Any ideas? I have a LOT of beading to do.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
