Needle Recommendations: Best used with embroidery needles size 5–9 (depending on fabric type and number of strands used). For standard cotton threads like DMC Retors Mat, use a needle appropriate to the fabric count to ensure smooth stitching and precise points.
Tip: Cut each skein into manageable lengths (approx. 30–40 cm / 12–16 inches) before starting your project to prevent tangling and maintain thread quality. Thread the needle carefully and avoid pulling too tightly to preserve the smooth, matte finish of the cotton and ensure even, clean stitches.
