As a rule of thumb, I usually divide my thread into 3 strands, as it gives good coverage of your outline without being too bulky. And if I'm doing fine outlines on things, I'll just use 1 strand.<BR/><BR/>Have you had a look at the Feeling Stitchy website? (the link is in my sidebar) They have links to great tutorials and stitching tips.<BR/><BR/>Good luck! Can't wait to see your stitching!Drewzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405888967031837400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337427046827713919.post-36199943003639609602008-03-08T19:56:00.000+11:002008-03-08T19:56:00.000+11:00Hi, am starting out on embroidery with lots of DMC...Hi, am starting out on embroidery with lots of DMC threads.
