Choose a bead that eo is distinctly diferent from the beads in your project. String the stop bead about 6 in. (15em) from the end of your thread, and go back through it in the same ditection. If desired, go through ir ‘one more time for added security. Brick stitch ‘Work off a stitched ladder (see Ladder stitch). Pick up two beads. Sew tndec the thread bridge between the second and third beads on the ladder from back to front. Sew up the second bead added and then down the first.

Sew under the next thread bridge on the previous row from back to front, Sew back up the new bead. aa %, & Ladder stitch There are several ‘ways to work a ladder, The ‘eomanon way is to pick up two beads, sow through the first bead again, and then sew through the second bead {eb} Ada subsequent beads by picking up ‘one bead, sewirg through the previous bead and then sewing through the new bead (&-<). Continue forthe desired length, ‘While chis isthe most common technique, it produces uneven tension along the ladder of beads because of the slcernating partern of a single thread bridge on the edge between tw0 beads and a double thread bridge on the ‘opposite edge between the same £0) beads. You can easily correct the uneven tension by zigeaging back throogh the beads inthe opposite direction. Doing this creates a double thread path along both edges of the ladder. This aligns the beads right next to each other but fills the bead holes with extra thread, which can cause a problem if you are using beads wih small holes ‘When you're using ladder stitch to create a base for brick stitch, having the holes filled with thread doesn't matter ‘because the ros of brick stitch are ‘worked off the thread bridges, sor by sewing through the beads. If you're using the ladder asa base for Ndebele hestingbone stitch, extra thread is potentially problematic, because you'll 'be sewing through che ladder base more than once. ‘There are two altemate methods for ‘working ladder stitch, each of which produces beadwork with even tension.
