Tle - Module 5

Proper storage of embroidery thread is important to avoid thread dents, discoloring, fading, and lint and brittleness. Thread should be stored under controlled conditions away from sunlight, which can cause threads, especially rayon, to fade over extended exposure. Excessive sunlight can also dry out thread fibers and lead to brittleness. Improper storage can weaken threads and cause excessive breaks during the stitching process.

stitches.

threads per square inch is same for both warp and woof.
