How to Deal with Shiny Threads that easily Slips?

Anchor’s Marlitt and DMC’s Rayon Floss are both 100% rayon, which means they are both slippery to handle and use. Here are some tips to make stitching with them easier.

1: Use shorter lengths of thread, no longer than 18".

2: Thread them onto your needle in the same way you would blending filaments or metallics as follows:
a: Pull loop over end of needle.
b: Tighten loop at eye.
c: Gently stroke the knotted yarn to lock it in place.

3: Moistening the strands will also keep them from slipping while stitching.
We encourage you to experiment with different threads, adding variety, both in look and feel, to your stitching. The rich sheen of Marlitt and Rayon Floss will certainly add a touch of elegance to your projects.
