In Stitches-Atlanta just posted a video on Facebook that shows Laura Taylor demonstrating how to bead letters using stem stitches. This is the next big thing--stringing beads on various stitches.

Try it with a Rhodes stitch for berries....
Rachel also mentions something in her Tudor Rose class on 17th Century embroidery techniques and threads that I think is starting to intrigue needlepoint teachers and stitch guide designers--using multiple threads in one stitch. This technique is as old as needlepoint.

This is a bit about the class Rachel is taking, in case you are intrigued.
