Original Message: Just to add that the tiniest Venetian seed beads

have traditionally been threaded onto fine linen (called "Cut Garnet" in the 1900's instruction books I have) and were always sold and handled in threaded hanks. Some of the old pattern instructions also tell you to firm up and trim the tapering end of the thread fibres to a point with brown gum or glue so its stiff enough to push through very tiny bead holes.
