Then you put 2 of the 6 strands together again and thread your needle!

I'm going to have to try your blind feel test next time I bust out the hoops... because being a floss-licker doesn't make me look stupid enough already to my husband! ;-)<br /><br />My embroidery A-ha! moment would have to be when I realised that by giving both the free ends of the skein a little tug I could work out which to pull to release more thread without getting a tangled mess and losing the little wraps/tags in the process!

But I do think that is the correct English word for it?!? I really must check the screws in my hoops because I haven't noticed the slot before. Now hoops, is something I haven't discussed yet. Must make a part 2 of this type of post soon. :) Nicole Follow the White Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552647840902000310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-26186586109477022572013-10-16T19:39:06.849+02:002013-10-16T19:39:06.849+02:00great tips Nicole, I didn't know about the nap...great tips Nicole, I didn't know about the nap at all (and to start with I thought you were suggesting we have a little sleep whilst embroidering!). My ta dah tip would be using a slotted screw driver to tighten the hoop enough - I had been using a hoop for years before I realised what the slot in the hoop screw was for!myBearpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513624290881481351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-63868707101204354852013-10-14T14:43:30.135+02:002013-10-14T14:43:30.135+02:00Love number 5 ~ sweet post!Love number 5 ~ sweet post!Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410432918093105452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-72192093275626205052013-10-13T02:16:45.959+02:002013-10-13T02:16:45.959+02:00Wonderful post!

The kids were napping, I was stitching and munched a couple of Oreos, then thought, "Oh no! How am I going to thread my needle!" Great tip! I just learned about the nap thing this past month and still have trouble...I'll diffidently try the closed eye method :) I too have had trouble with hand dyed thread. I bought a few hand dyed threads, and went right back to DMC. Love your blog!
