Which Way Do Sequins Go?

Bring the needle up through the fabric and thread on a few beads (how many is your preference) and a sequin. Make sure all your sequins are facing the same way if they're cupped. To make a line, go back down through the fabric and come back up to the left (to the right if you're left-handed and working left to right).
