About the different threads
Definition: (noun) a very thin line of cotton, wool, silk etc. often twisted and drawn out.
.
Just about any thread can be used in ribbon embroidery, if you can thread it through the needle and bring in through the fabric. Otherwise,
couch it in place. Just check that the threads are colourfast before starting. Experiment with different threads to see how different the stitches appear when working with various thicknesses.
Have a lovely week!
Love
