Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically embroidering beads on a cloth is disclosed. A continuous bead string, which is made of a plurality of beads with separable connecting sections arranged in the direction of an axial bore in the beads of the bead string, is utilized. The apparatus sets the continuous bead string on the cloth. The bead at the end of the bead string is bent and separated at the connecting section. A needle passes through the axial bores of the beads so that the beads are separated from the bead string and sewed onto the cloth.
