I have seen peyote on handles and feathers and such.
I believe that is the site, they have it on there. I think they call it brick stitch.I didn't do it, honestly. I have burned all the proof. -
Gourd stitch works well. But you can also do "wrapping", where the bead look like they have been wrapped around the handle. The beads are sewn with what one of my teachers called running stitch. You pick up 4 or 6 beads go back through the leather and come up in the middle under the beads and go back through. See the drawing below:Comment

I have beaded a lot of fan handles in gourd stitch or brick work. Both work equally as well however brickstitch does take a little more time.Comment

I've done very little peyote stitch in my life, mostly the quills of feathers and such. Now I'm at a point where I want to make larger pieces with designs. I have always done the 3 drop type and that has worked just fine. I have started looking at other peoples work like tail sticks and fan handles...05-27-2005, 02:16 PM -
Question. I'm sure everyon has heard of KQ designs. Anyway I think their
beadwork is amazing. My question is how or what type of stitching/beading
style do they use to make the leggings so flat. It is obviously not lazy stitch. I would love to learn how to do that kind of work....09-15-2010, 09:50 AM -
OK here we go. Does anyone know how to do flat gourd stitch and how to start it. What is it used for besides on baseball hat brims to show off? I think it's used on the toe of Comanche/Kiowa dusters. Any ideas?
Thanks

Im now on page 10 in the archives. lol But after reading and reading. I've come to learn after reading all these pages that some are saying that there is a difference between Gourd stitch and Peyote stitch. Can someone tell me about this and point me in the right direction on seeing the difference ...01-04-2010, 01:30 PM -
