The Beadsmith Beading Foundation – 8.5 x 11 inches – White Fabric – 4 Sheets – Made in The USA – Stiff & Durable Material Used for Bead & Stitch Embroidery, cabochon Beading and Sewing

Average bead backing

This is solid stuff, and pretty stiff, but a lot thicker than Lacys Stiff Stuff. Its good if youre drawing the pattern by hand, not so much when you have your pattern scanned digitally and want to print it on the backing.

I received this folded in half which defeats the purpose as it is meant to lay flat and be sturdy for beading. It could have easily fit the package laying flat.

Comparing the two, I will only note the differences as they are very much the same. Beadsmith beading foundation is a little thicker than Lacy’s Stiff Stuff. Beadsmith is way easier to put a needle thru. (Making it my favorite) Beadsmith also comes in black. Beadsmith is less expensive. This is the Foundation I will be using from now on.

great for my beaded glove tops

In the past I have used Lacys Stiff Stuff as my beading foundation almost exclusively, so I was a little reluctant to try something different. That said, I really liked the fact that this product came already colored - no messy dyes or sharpies to deal with! - so I decided to give it a go. The Beadsmith foundation is indeed comparable, and so far I have encountered no problems with it. It isnt quite as stiff as Lacys is, but still provides a nice, solid base which is easy to work with, and supports heavy stones and beadwork quite well. I will definitely order again and hope to see more colors in future!

Its thicker stiff felt. This package was a good value, comparatively. I tried beading with regular felt. It could not maintain its shape as it was too thin. This is really nice as Im beginning. My first cab turned out fairly well.

Cant live without this wonderful bead embroidery foundation. Black and dark colors are hard to find, so get them while you can.

Product is exactly what I expected. The seller had made a mistake original with sending the wrong item. She corrected the problem immediatly. In just 3 days the proper item that I had order came to me. She was true to her word. Thank you,

Great quality and it pretty thick . Not like other kinds. The price is pretty high for 4 sheets .
