Microbead mini magnet kits are 25 designs in the 55×55, 56×56 and 47×44 mm formats. Preciosa size 13 microbeads are half the size of standard beads, so twice as much detail fits into the same small area: finer features, smoother transitions and a crisp outline.
How microbeads differ

Questions and answers
Is microbead work harder than ordinary bead embroidery?
The stitch is the same. The only difficulty is scale: a smaller bead calls for a finer needle and better light. All 25 kits here are rated easy.
How long does one magnet take?
2–4 hours. The area is small but holds more beads than a standard-bead kit of the same size.
Do I need a magnifier?
Not necessarily, but a lamp to the side makes a noticeable difference.
Is the magnet included?
Yes, the magnet and the materials for the back come with the kit.
