Nevertheless, there were some loops during the embroidery of the twig (done with satins). What else one needs to do to master this not too complicated a skill, according to the video in question? Not much – to create a design in the way that was suggested and go to the machine:Īdjusted the tension – I had to tighten all the screws all the way in so that to prevent loops – and went to the machine:

In my opinion, pull compensation needs to be increased substantially, for two threads will distort a design a great deal in spite of the reduced density. The important thing to remember is that a thread supply failure detector won't work in this case because the second thread will remain intact even if the first one snapped. I also think that the stitch length should be increased in relation to the standard one. The issue of underlay wasn't specified but the understitching was present, therefore, you'd better use it. You should increase the thread tension to prevent looping.Īnd reduce the design's density by at least 20%. The point type depends on the type of fabric, I suppose. Use standard #40 rayon or polyester threads.Ī 90/14 needle has a large enough ear to accommodate both threads. So a couple of days ago I saw a video on Gunold's Youtube channel in which Debora Jones demonstrated the way of doing it and shared basic recommendations for those who are going to repeat it on their own machines.īelow are her recommendations to which I added a few things that could be guessed from the context: I've long wanted to embroider with two threads in one needle, being mighty curious how the whole thing would turn out.
