Normally beads are stitched last, after motifs and other embroidery are complete. With the Bead Run tools you have the option of digitizing individual bead drops or letting the system generate them for you. Automatic bead runs can be scaled. To digitize a scalable bead run, use the Bead Run Auto tool. Enter reference points – left-click for corner points, right-click for curve points.

Alternatively, to control the exact placement of your bead drops, use the Bead Run Manual tool. Digitize individual bead drops with left and right mouse-clicks.
