!!! I don't embroider anymore, but I always put the stable end between my lips, and had both hands free to separate! The moist end was then the knot end, which always had moistened fingers for making the knot anyway!
Literally looked for your vid because i thought itd be cool to buy a beginners cross stitch kit and in the beginners manual it doesnt say anything about the knots. But it still wants you to seperate them. Im so frustrated and wasted a ton of thread
Where can I purchase the hoop holder that you use in your videos? It turns upside down or whatever direction I don’t know how to describe it. I hope you know what I’m talking about. Thank you.
I had no idea you had to separate so I looked on RUclips to see how to. But then you keep three together? And not just use one? So you don't have 6 separate ones but two? Is this correct?
It depends on how many strands you want to use. Most patterns will say "1 strand, 2 strands, 3 strands, etc." The more strands used, the thicker the line will be. So if you use 1 strand, then you would have 6 separate threads. If you use 2 strands, you would have 3 separate threads. And then yes, if you are using 3 strands, you have two separate threads like you said. Hopefully that makes sense.
Why would you separate the threads? I’m new to embroidery, and see everyone splitting the thread. Is this only a visual thing, or also technical? I assume you could also use all of them, whenever you want a thicker thread? Thanks and have a wonderful day Greetings:)
You separate them to make thicker or thinner lines. I usually work in 2, 3 and 6 strands. Sometimes 1, if it's a very small, detailed area. My favorite is usually 3 strands. It makes nice, smooth stitches and doesn't get too bulky. I like 6 strands for woven wheel flowers for texture though. You also need different needle sizes depending on the amount of thread you are using. I talk about that in this post about supplies: cutesycrafts.com/2018/08/5-essential-hand-embroidery-supplies.html
Thank you 😊 I’m going to try one strand at a time! I am brand new to the craft and boy did my strands get so tangled that I needed new flows !
This is awesome! It’s been almost forty years since I’ve done embroidery and your tutorials are helping me so much. Thank you! 🥰 Christine

Thank you! I just started embroidering something and kept creating knots. This was so nicely and easily explained.
Actually enraging how easy this is. Thank you!
am i the only one that thought you had to buy the smaller strands of it instead of seperating-
When my needle was too small and thread was too big, i realized… 30 minutes later
🙋♀️ 😂 same!
Same! Very happy I don’t need to spend another $30 to buy a bunch of “thin” thread 😂
Same!
Omg I was having so much trouble with this. Thank you!!!

Thank you!! No more tears over knots 😭😭😢
Thank you! Clear and straight to the point 😊
GENIUS! Thank you.
Thank you so much
Very helpful! Thank you

Here's an affiliate link to the stand I use: amzn.to/2VdAQT1 It's a floor stand, but I took out some of the pieces to shorten it for tabletop use.

Thanks very helpful
I like your nails
Thank you. But how do you organize the remaining threads of the floss piece that you've cut out?
I put all of my floss on plastic floss bobbins. I put the remaining floss back on the bobbin I took it from.
most annoying thing to deal with
Easy so far t y 😊
what if you need a really long strand?
I am lazy too! Going with the 1st method lol
❤❤❤
Anything to actually get a French knot to actually knot ? 😵💫
What if it breaks?/ I break it
If you are using good floss, it shouldn't break. There shouldn't be much tension on the thread when pulling.
@@CutesyCrafts thanks !
I am just beginning and I didn't even know that I was supposed to separate the strands. Geez! 😂

@@CutesyCrafts can you show some designs using 1 thread and 2,3 thread. Where exactly we use one thread?
@@anjujoy1946 maybe on a smaller fabric things like pockets/purses/badges etc
It still tangles! Not helpful
