Moreover, when embroidering with mouliné thread, it is important to work with strands of the appropriate length. If your thread strands are too short, you will need to connect them frequently, which can create knots and bumps in your embroidery. If your thread strands are too long, they can get tangled and create problems during embroidery. That's why it seemed important to us to provide you with the appropriate length in your kit to work effectively on your cross-stitch embroidery.
