Tips and Tricks:    

Ideal for larger mesh canvas as it provides terrific coverage. 

Cut thread length to 18" and keep a shorter (2" tail) as you stitch. Needles have punched eyes that can be rough and damage your thread as you stitch.  The shorter tail minimizes the needle traveling up and down your thread to help you avoid fraying the thread. 

If you are stitching a piece, like a belt, we don't recommend this thread as it has a tendency to pill.

Can be used on 18 mesh with proper stitch tension.  Use shorter thread lengths so the thread doesn't become fuzzy.  Some stitchers feel the thread is too bulky for 18 mesh canvas though.

Recommended Use:

13 mesh use one strand

18 mesh use one strand
