I usually use bondaweb (heat n bond.) You can just use some glue stick but I think it's easier when it's all stuck down so you don't have to worry about it moving .There's a short video I did on using bondaweb on my channel...it's great stuff! Xx
Sometimes my thread doesn't work. Sometimes there is too much thread behind fabric. My tension is between 2 and 3. Should I keep thread in my hand before starting ?
Hiya tension seems low mine. Is usually on 4 ( the mid point) and yes bring the bobbin thread up on to the top ( just do needle down then up ND pull the loop up) and hold both threads to start and that should help. Do make sure you have some kind of stabilizer on the back though xx
Hiya yes you need a bobbin thread as well. Best to start by taking one stitch (needle down then up) to bring the bobbin thread up onto the top of your work to start with and then stop after a few stitches and trim the long tails so they don't get in your way. Xx
Hiya they are done with satin stitch which is the zigzag stitch with the stitch length shortened to 0.4 ( or the buttonhole setting if you are on a dial for length) and a width of about 3-3.5. Because it's a close stitch you can gently curve it as you stitch. Xx
Hiya because it's such a small stitch it's quite difficult to unpick but I usually just go over again a couple if times in a slightly different place so it's less noticeable .Think of it like drawing with a pen that you can't rub out sovyou end up with a more sketchy feel rather than a single solid line.

@@sewingboxsomerset5328 thanks a lot. Have a nice day 🙂
So there is no bobbin thread? Thank you for this informational video!!

Love your video and work. Can you tell me what size/type needle you used and also the weight of the thread? Thank you.
How did you do the stems of the flowers

Hi, how can we do if we make a big mistake on the embroidery ? is it easy to take off the thread ?

@@sewingboxsomerset5328 thank you... yes it's a practice.
I just love your demonstration! Such a cute design. When you thread your machine remember to place the tread thru the guide in the needle bar.
Thank you.Do bear in mind I have a camera between me and the needle so the threading sometimes goes off piste when I am filming!😁
