Choosing the right threads for your embroidery project

Do you struggle with figuring out how to choose the right threads for your embroidery projects? How do you know what colors will work best? Do you match the fabric? Do you contrast with the fabric? Where do you even begin? Do you add black or white thread for a pop of color? How many threads are going to be too much or too little?

In this video, Eileen Roche from Designs in Machine Embroidery (DIME) and Dawn Chace discuss many key points on where to start when choosing threads for your embroidery projects. Eileen Roche is the cofounder of DIME and has decades of experience in the machine embroidery industry. Dawn Chace is the founder and designer of Creative Appliques.
