 Thread your needle – never use more than a short arm’s length of thread at one time as it will be more prone to knotting, and more vulnerable to fraying and splitting.

 Start the embroideries with a small knot on the wrong side of the work. To avoid the knot being seen from the front of the work, do keep it small.

 When rejoining a thread, use your needle to weave the new thread into the previous stitches.

 When you have finished your embroidery, weave the thread into the previous sewn work.

 Do not leave long strands hanging on the back as these may show through on the front.

Keep your embroidery and fabric scissors sharp and never be tempted to use them for cutting paper.

You may find a hoop useful when stitching the infill chain stitching.
