How to work - practical tips
Start by choosing the right material: light fabric plus thin threads for delicate pictures, thick fabric and thicker threads for robust appliqués. Use a suitable stabilizer, choose the right needle size and stretch the fabric tightly in the hoop. Work with simple basic stitches (front stitch, back stitch, chain stitch) and pay attention to neat knotting techniques and even thread guidance. After embroidering, pre-wash and iron depending on the threads and stabilizer properties.
