How do I begin making stitched jewelry?

How do I begin making stitched jewelry?

Posted by Anna Draeger  ·  April 1, 2009
Q I've been beading for 3 years, making simple jewelry. Now I am ready to start learning stitches so I can make more advanced projects. What is the easiest stitch to learn? The easiest pattern for a bracelet/necklace? What kind of thread should I use on the seed beads? I don't knit or crochet, so I'm lost there. I love making wire jewelry but want to try the patterns for seed beads, or is it not for me since I don't knit or crochet...
