Precautions to be Taken in Performing Embroidery​

​ Clip or tie your hair before you begin.

 The light should fall from the left side or from the front onto the working surface.

 Do not bite/cut the thread with your teeth nor tear it with your hands when working.

 Keep the needles and the pins at a certain place (a special box, cushion, etc.). Do not leave them in the workplace, never put the needles and the pins in your mouth, and do not stick them in the clothing.

​

​ Keep the needle, pins and other tools and materials after working.

 The embroidery hoop/stiletto should be fitted properly and should resemble a drum before starting the embroidery.

 The thread should not exceed to 18 inches; otherwise it will tend to coil towards the end.

 Use needles with appropriate numbers that suit the type of embroidery being done.
