Bead Question

When sewing on beads such as little crystal cubes or bicones would you sew them in an X or a straight stitch? Some of the bicones are next to seed beads and I'd prefer them to lay flat. I've tried stitching both ways and I'm undecided which would be the best way to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!! Karen

    Karen, most instructions I have seen is to use a full cross in beading so the bead is secure and does not roll, turn or twist. Lenore
