Separate Strands of Embroidery Floss

When stitching with six-strand embroidery floss, it is important to separate the floss into six individual strands and then combine the number of strands desired.

Separating the floss allows for smoother stitches and better fabric coverage. When separating floss, prevent knots and tangling by following these tips.

Begin by cutting a piece of floss the desired stitching length.
