Thread tangling while stitching

Use shorter lengths of thread (under 18 inches) and let the needle hang freely every few stitches to allow the twist to relax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, organize your eight skeins of floss by color number to ensure ease of access. Ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace to prevent fabric staining. When working with the included embroidery floss, it is recommended to cut manageable lengths of roughly 18 inches to prevent tangling during the stitch process. For care, keep the finished piece away from direct sunlight to prevent thread fading over time. If the fabric becomes wrinkled before or during the process, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the cloth. Store unused floss in a dry place to maintain the fiber integrity of the cotton threads.
