I have just recently started using this technique and am pleased with the results.
First, I draw a design onto cotton fabric using fabric pen. A laundry marker is really useful for doing black lines if they are required.
After leaving the design to dry, I then embellish the image with hand embroidery and beads stitched on by hand.
So far I have used this for small pieces ... just a couple of inches square.
I think there are endless possibilities!
