Ensure proper tension, use the correct needle size, and make sure the thread path is unobstructed.
Yes, but test on a scrap piece first, especially delicate fabrics.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
While it can be used, it's primarily designed for decorative embroidery. Its flat construction and potential for breakage make it less ideal for quilting.
Consider the project's overall color scheme and the desired effect. The wide range of colors allows for creative freedom.
Reduce upper tension, use a larger needle size, and ensure the thread path is smooth.
Re-thread your machine, check the bobbin tension, and make sure the thread is not snagging.
