Hand embroidery needles have longer eye than other hand sewing needles and hence are easier to thread.

When selecting the needle for hand embroidery you have to select the correct size because then only you can get the embroidery floss through the eye easily without much abrasion . If you select big needles for the ease in threading, you will be ending up with big big holes in the cloth. So you should aim for a  fine balance. Check out the 14 hand sewing and embroidery needles available for you.

Find the right side – Inspect your needle closely. Most of the needles will have one side of the eye bigger than the other. Thread through this side and you will find it easier.

Manage the thread – Cut about 20 inches of thread – this length is said to be the ideal length to avoid tangles and for ease of handling. Longer and you may find that it is a little too much for you to handle without forming knots. Merrit Sewing Machine Repair Service Center in Chennai

Coat the thread with beeswax for adding strength to the strands and to avoid the inevitable tangling of threads.

 

For hand sewing,  I usually use a thread meant for sewing machine, unless it is a buttonhole. Find a darker colour than the fabric if you cannot get an exact match.

There is no thread more difficult to thread than a Perle cotton – because of the twist in the thread it is the most difficult thread that I use – the thread is beautiful when used for embroidering but a pain to thread on to a needle.

Find the grain of the hand embroidery thread – Cut out your thread and the first thing you should do is to check for the grain in your strand of thread. This will make your threading easier – a lot. Most often the cut end will be with the grain, but it is better to check for a good sewing experience. The on grain thread will pass through the needle faster and through the fabric even better.

If you have a very soft touch you maybe able to tell by just holding the strand between your fingers – like you can tell the direction of the nap of fleece by stroking it. The thread will feel smoother on the straight grain.

Hold the thread with a tweezer as you take it to the needle eye. You can have a little better control.
