So pretty. Thank you.

I really like your stitching and the variation. However, it would be so nice to have really close up camera shots to see those variety of stitches, the colors and what their texture looks like. Thanks

I recently used Dazzle in a small hand embroidery block. I made a quilters knot. I discovered as I was working on hand stitching the block, the previous Dazzle stitched quilters knots on the back of the piece, started to come untied. I ended up putting a little glue on the backside of each knot. Have you had this issue with this thread? If so, what do you do?

Hi Theresa,
Thank you for asking! This is not necessarily a problem we experience often, however, having a loose knot on occasion, yet. At times, rather than a quilters knot, we may anchor the tail in place with a few small stitches or make a smaller quilters knot (leaving a tail) and anchor that in place with a few small stitches. I hope this helps!
