Troubleshooting

Needle is difficult to thread

Ensure the thread end is trimmed cleanly. You can slightly dampen the end of the thread to make it easier to pass through the needle's eye.

Embroidery stitches look uneven

Try to maintain consistent tension as you stitch. Practice a few stitches on a scrap piece of felt if available. Ensure you are using the correct number of thread strands as per instructions.

Difficulty closing the pincushion neatly

Ensure the stuffing is distributed evenly. Avoid overstuffing, which can make it difficult to stitch the final seam closed. Baste the opening shut first if needed.
