Thanks for visiting my blog .I couldn&...Hi Beverly,<br />Thanks for visiting my blog .I couldn't find a mail-id to reply to your question and so Iam answering here.<br />Unlike sewing where we sew with a single thread ,in hand embroidery we use a special type of thread called stranded cotton. DMC sells a wide range of stranded cotton threads,generally known as embroidery threads. These can be split into strands and used as per our requirement.So if you want a very fine line, you should use one strand,for slightly thick lines,use two strands and three strands for still thicker lines.Stranded cotton can be split upto six strands.And yes, as we vary the thickness of our threads,the size of the needle also varies.<br />DMC or Anchor are the most popular companies selling embroidery threads and both have their own range of stranded cotton threads.<br />Hope this helps,<br />DeepaDeepahttp://deepashome.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284411.post-24521182035709739752012-07-23T17:30:12.826+05:302012-07-23T17:30:12.826+05:30Hi, Deepa.

"Use three strands of embroidery thread." What does it mean to use three strands and how do you thread a needle with three? I hand-sew a lot of things, so I'm no stranger to threading a needle, but that is only one strand of thread.<br /><br />Thanks for your help!<br /><br />BeverlyBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010502843135586632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284411.post-32794527759767409982009-11-12T13:31:59.820+05:302009-11-12T13:31:59.820+05:30hi anon,
