8 useful tips for needlewomen

These simple tricks will help simplify and diversify the pleasant, but sometimes time-consuming process of knitting, embroidery or sewing.

1. Can’t immediately thread a thick thread into the needle? Hold them over paper in a contrasting color (if the thread is black, over a white sheet, and vice versa).
2. There is such a useful needle – for working with wool. She has a rounded tip and an enlarged eye. For stitching the details of a knitted thing – it’s the very thing!
3. If, when embroidering, it turned out that the hoop is slightly small, and you are a little short of the edges of the canvas, our pieces of fabric to each side with the widest stitch. And when the embroidery is finished, the edges just need to be cut off.
4. Canvas clippings can also come in handy. For example, for trials: before work, see how the colors match, which stitches look best, practice the markers.
5. How is it more convenient to store threads so as not to get tangled? Skeins of the same or similar colors and shades fasten with an elastic band, then you will have a ready-made palette.
6. Another “life hack” for convenient storage of threads. At the bottom of the shoe box, place a piece of foam cut to size, covered with some kind of fabric for beauty. You stick wooden or plastic skewers into it at a convenient distance from each other – and put coils on them.
7. If the knitted product had to be unraveled several times, the thread becomes uneven. It can be straightened again by winding it into loose coils, slightly moistening them and letting them hang by hanging some small load from them.
8. Wool, sometimes, does not smell very pleasant. Try to flavor it. Do not throw away the caps of your favorite perfumes, put them in boxes with threads. They will acquire a light pleasant aroma.
