Since then, I have learned all about various beads, charms and trims. It…

These are for french knots. Insert the needle into the opposite prong, and bring the needle to the back leaving a loop of thread still at the front. Now bring the needle back to the front at the bottom of the first feather, which is the bottom of the V. Pull the thread through to make the first stitch. You can…
