I do an X through the bead so it doesn't lean either way and I feel it is more secure like that

well, it depends if you atached as your decision to embellisment so better make the same direction of the uper stitch, but if you follow a designer with beads in the kit  usually you should follow the instructions  ' cause might have different directions that fit the sense of design :)

I have been stitching for over 20 years and always use the top stitch to place beads, I never put in the bottom stitch as it makes it rather bulky, I have stitched many of the MB charts and they always have heaps of beads
hope this helps with your question

Do you tie each bead off at the back, or do you use the same thread and drag it behind the fabric - I can't find a better way to describe it. I have been tying each one with it's own knot, but not sure if this is the best way to do it.
