Here are some tips for using Anchor Stranded Cotton:

When choosing colors, keep in mind that the lighter the color, the more strands you will need to use to achieve a solid coverage.

If you are using multiple strands of thread, be sure to twist them together before you start stitching. This will help to prevent the thread from tangling.

When stitching, be careful not to pull the thread too tightly. This can cause the fabric to pucker.

Once you have finished stitching, wash and iron your project to set the stitches and remove any excess fabric.

I hope this information is helpful. Have fun stitching with your Anchor Stranded Cotton!
