Fabric & Thread Continued >
-
It's very important to always wash, dry and press your fabric to pre-shrink it before you start creating stitches.
-
Draw a guideline or transfer your design onto the fabric.
-
If you prefer, place the fabric in an embroidery hoop. If possible, place the fabric so that the entire design is contained within the hoop.
-
Measure thread to about an arms length long. Thread a needle with preferred thread and do not put a knot on the end. See "How To Start & End Stitches".
