Beadpoint is essentially needlepoint worked backwards. In both, the stitch/bead slants from left at bottom to right at top. Two of needlepoint’s standard stitches, continental and half-cross, are used in beadpoint. In needlepoint, the thread itself comprises the stitch, while in beadpoint the thread serves only to anchor the bead to the canvas.
