III. Thread & Needle Tips: 🌹🍀 • Strip Your Floss: Most embroidery floss comes with 6 strands wound together. For best results and more consistent stitches, separate the individual strands and then recombine the desired number of strands before threading your needle. This helps with coverage and a neater finish. • Optimal Thread Length: Avoid excessively long threads, as they are more prone to tangling, knotting, and fraying. An arm's length (around 50-80cm) is generally a good starting point.
