Points to be aware of when handling gold and silver embroidery thread

Gold & silver embroidery thread is very easy to come apart

Gold and silver embroidery threads are very easy to come apart, and the lengths of the ends of the threads that were already aligned often come apart before you know it.

One of the features is that it is harder to thread through a needle than cotton embroidery thread.

Cut the end of the thread before threading it through the needle.

When cutting, it is recommended that you hold the thread as close to the tip as possible and pass it through the needle without loosening your finger.

Even during embroidery, the thread will come apart more and more.

We recommend holding the needle and thread together with your fingers to prevent them from coming apart.

Gold & silver embroidery threads are very fragile

Gold and silver embroidery threads differ depending on the manufacturer and type, but they are made by coating (wrapping) gold or silver colors around white or yellow threads.

As the threads become damaged during embroidery, the coating peels off, revealing the threads inside.

If you finish the embroidery while it is damaged, it will be very noticeable, so even if you think it is a waste, it is important to replace it boldly to make it look beautiful.
