Cutting + Separating threads
Firstly, always cut a length of thread no longer than fingertip to elbow, around 40cm (16in) long. This will make it easier to manage and avoid it getting twisted.
Before you begin to stitch please note that each skein of stranded cotton has 6 threads.
For most of this embroidery we will be using 3 of those threads at a time, this creates a finer look. To separate them, simply cut the thread then select 3 strands and pull them apart from the other 3.
