Thread fraying during stitching
Ensure your needle eye is smooth and avoid making your working thread length too long, which increases friction and wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a pair of sharp embroidery scissors, as these are essential for the cut-work elements of Hardanger embroidery. While the kit provides a needle, you may want to use an embroidery hoop to keep the base fabric taut, which helps prevent puckering during the stitching process. Care for the finished pieces involves gentle hand washing in cool water with mild detergent if they become soiled, followed by air drying. Avoid harsh ironing directly on the stitches; instead, place the piece face down on a soft towel and press gently with the iron on the reverse side to protect the texture of the embroidery.
