Welcome Carol. What a good idea - I've never heard that before.

Welcome from me too, great to meet you here. Thanks for the tip I shall try that as it gets a Tad humid here in SW France too.

I like your site too.

The tips which I have found most useful are:

Fasten your thread to your needle, then it can't slip through the eye.

Make sure your thread is no longer than 12 inches.

Use a smoothing agent like Thread Heaven - it really works and makes stitching with metallics so much easier.

Hope this helps somewhat.

What are you stitching?

Just what I would have suggested.

Welcome to the family. Hope you will post photos of your progress in the gallery.
