Use the Bead Palette Editor to prepare a palette of beads for use according to your machine capabilities. Bead devices are normally attached to the first or last needle of the machine head. Currently, EmbroideryStudio supports up to eight (8) beads in one design. The palette does not allow more than 8 entries.
