Tips for using Mill Hill beads

Beading Needles: Use size 12 beading needles, unless you are working with teeny tiny beads
Thread: Use what you have since the thread is not (usually) an integral part of the design, there is no need to purchase separate embroidery floss, unless you just want to
Backing Paper: the type used for backing machine embroidery works very well for bead embroidery
