I started this seam putting seed beads on the arms and central sections of the Cretan Stitch, for the seed beads I made the arms closer together which fits the seed beads but after I started I just didn’t like it, I tried adding another coloured bead to the pattern which was a little better but I so liked how the rice shaped beads worked the other night I still wasn’t happy with this one so I finished mid seam and used the rest of the seam to experiment with Bugle beads which give more shape to the seam and worked much better.

These are both beautiful variations. But, I think the rice beads were really elegant and that is the version I will probably use on my next stitching project. I don’t do embroidery often, but your sampler is providing me with lots of inspiration for when I do.
