Never thought of knotting thread to needle! That seems a good one. Also using larger needle. Great tips thanks Kat. Looking forward to next video x

Just a FYI... Thread Heaven is discontinued but they have Thread Magic and it is the same thing as far as I can tell. Happy stitching!! Thank you for the tips. Game changer! I mean, just WOW!!!

Great tips

Lots of great information If I might add 2 other suggestions 1) you can use the loop method to tie your metallic thread onto the needle even if you are only using one thread. Instead of folding the thread in half making the ends the same length, make one end much shorter but long enough to do the loop. 2) if you are working with metallic thread that curls, gently wrap each end around the pointer finger of each hand, like as you would do with dental floss & then give it a gentle stretch by pulling your hands away from each other. Happy stitching 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

Very, very helpful. Thank you.

great info!

Another tip that I just figured out myself is to melt the ends very slightly with a lighter since polyester is technically plastic. This stopped the ends from fraying. With this and all the additional tips you gave in your video, the x-stitching I just did went much smoother since the last two hours. Thank you!

Super helpful 😊

So that the ends don't split, I dip them in transparent nail polish
