Regular Beading Machine
The more conventional beading machine is a machine that is very similar to a sewing machine. You insert the beads that you want to use into the machine, get the item ready that you want beaded, and voila. A few minutes later you have completely transformed and enlivened something.
Knitting Beading Machine
The knitting beading machine is very popular as well, and it allows you to decorate your knitting in some really fabulous ways. You can instantly improve a plain stocking stitch sweater or cardigan with a beaded flower or beaded edging, and you can even decorate fairisle patterned garments with beads to add extra color and give them that finishing touch.
Lace garments, believe it or not, can also be beaded, as long as you make sure to insert the beads into the more solid parts of the fabric to keep from tearing the material. You can even use your knitting beading machine to decorate your home furnishings with beads, for instance your bedroom curtains, blinds and lampshades. The options are really endless here, and you can be as creative and have as much fun as you want.
Remember to select the beads that are most suitable for the particular fabric that you are knitting - you are going to need different types of beads for silk material than you are for cotton, for instance. Also you always want to make sure that if you do decide to use beads on something that the aftercare of the garment is not going to be too difficult to keep up with. Beading on children's clothing is not always the best idea for instance, because they are very active and the beads are likely to get damaged or even fall completely off.
The most important thing however is to make sure that you have fun, because this is what beading is all about and if you take it too seriously, you are not going to be able to enjoy yourself at all and it will really be pointless.
