Troubleshooting
Printed design is difficult to see.
Ensure good lighting conditions when working. The design is intentionally subtle to allow the embroidery to stand out.
Thread tangling.
Use manageable lengths of thread (approx. 18 inches / 45 cm) and ensure the needle is threaded correctly. Work with fewer strands if the thread is difficult to handle.
Stitches do not look uniform.
Practice on a scrap piece of fabric if available, or focus on maintaining consistent tension and stitch size as per the charted design.
Difficulty removing the printed design after stitching.
Use cool water and gentle hand washing. Soaking for a short period might help if the design is stubborn, but avoid prolonged soaking that could affect the fabric or threads.
