The latest support and inspiration articles
- No-Sew Minimalist Seam: This no-sew method uses the live stitches rather than a bound off edge, so the seam is even less bulky than the minimalist seaming sewn method.

- Bonus: Rotating even-count grid designs: Because of the square nature of beaded garter stitch, our little beaded shamrock design can easily be rotated as though it were doing cartwheels.
