In the embroidery process, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining the proper tension of the thread to avoid inconsistent tightness. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the hand stable and the angle of the needle correct to ensure the accuracy and aesthetics of the embroidery.
Fifth, needle collection and finishing.
After the embroidery of the entire pattern, we need to collect and organize the needles. First hide the end of the last stitch and then cut the end of the thread. Next, we check the whole work for misalignment or missing embroidery, and make timely adjustments and remedies if necessary. Finally, we clean and dry the artwork.
