- The length of the thread should not exceed 50 cm, otherwise it will begin to get confused.
- Canvas can be of different sizes - this value is determined by the number of cells in a square of 10x10 cm. It varies from 43 to 70. The larger the size of the canvas, the more beautiful and complex the pattern is, the finer the corner should be taken for embroidery.
- After finishing work, the canvas is removed from the hoop to avoid creases.
- It is desirable to arrange the threads in colors - this will greatly simplify the embroidery process.
- Top stitches should “look” one way.
How to care for embroidered products
Periodically, pictures of threads need to be washed. To prevent this process from destroying fragile products, it is recommended to follow some rules. The water should be warm, and the detergent should be liquid and designed for delicate things. In no case should you put embroidery on a machine; only hand wash is shown to such needlework.
Without wringing, the cloth is laid in a dry terry towel and neatly straightened, folded. Lightly moisten the product through a natural fabric. Large embroidered paintings are stored under glass, hiding from the direct rays of the sun. Then they will not fade or become saturated with dust, which is very important for long-term service.
