This may sound a simple question but how do i sew sequins onto a ball gown. I cant glue them and when i sew them as a knot in the middle of the sequin they fall off. Is there a easier way?

Thank you

My favorite way is in Els' link 2, example 3. I think the seed bead just makes a better, prettier finish.
