Machine Sewing Beads onto Fabric

The referenced YouTube video, "How to Attach a String of Beads with a Sewing Machine" provides a practical method for this. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

  1. Preparation:

    • Begin by positioning the string of beads onto the fabric where you want it attached.
  2. Sewing:

    • Use your sewing machine to sew over the cord of the bead string, securing the beads to the fabric.
    • Adjust your stitch width and stitch length as needed. The video shows adjusting these settings for an ideal outcome.
    • Beads should be snug, not easily pulled out once sewn.
  3. Testing:

    • Test the stitch width and length to ensure it is strong and beads are securely attached. This involves checking whether you can easily pull beads out of the sewn string or if they are firmly in place.


The main takeaway is that a sewing machine can be a very efficient tool for attaching a string of beads to fabric when adjusted properly for securing beads within the string's cord. This method offers both efficiency and a firm attachment.
