Embroidery rarely goes perfectly on the first try. Find the problem that looks most like yours, then work through the relevant guide before pulling out your stitches.
Fabric and hoop problems
- Fix puckering in embroidery when the fabric gathers around your stitches.
- Fix hoop marks on fabric after moving or removing your hoop.
Stitch and thread problems
- Even out your stitches when lengths or spacing look inconsistent.
- Adjust thread tension when stitches pull too tightly or sit too loosely.
- Stop thread from tangling while you work.
