I've done that type of fringe beading, and it really depends on your beads. The last fringe like that I did was with Nymo beading thread and a needle specifically for beading with a narrow eye. But I wasn't using bugle beads, and they can be awfully picky about needle size. You could look
here for a few examples.
I wish somebody could point me to a definitive book that covers the beading concepts for costumes: bead/sequin embroidery and fringe. I often see books that cover a lot of jewelry stuff, but that's not what I would like to have.
