This happened most recently on some poinsettias where I wanted beads for the center. That's why I love bead shops. They have so many more beads, bigger sizes and cooler stuff. There I found just what I needed. Although usually I end up going the stitching route because I'm too lazy to go shopping. Keep Stitching, Janet Joyce –
