Make Beginning stitch so that it will be hidden by the stitches that will be embroidered later.
The stitch at the beginning of stitching is completed by stitching two small straight stitches as shown in the video.

The point is to make the stitch at the beginning of the stitch as small as possible on the draft line.
Since the number of stitches at the beginning and end of stitching will be increased later, it will be easier to embroider by making it as small and narrow as possible.

Point

・Make it in the draft lin

・Make it near the start position

・Make it as small and narrow as possible

【2】Weft embroidery method

The warp thread will be threaded later, so pull the weft thread with a slightly looser force.
The tension is the same throughout, so be careful not to pull too much on one part or loose it on another part.

Point

・Leave a little space between thread

・Pull the thread with a slightly looser force

・Arrange the threads so that they all have the same amount of force

【3】Weft end stitch

The weft thread is embroidered while adjusting the force so that it does not move as much as possible.

When embroidering with outline stitches and stem stitches, align the direction of the threads to be embroidered in the same direction.
Be careful not to have outline stitches and stem stitches row by row.
