How do you get your threads to lay so flat next to each other without railroading. I see you untwist them every so often but it seems that I have to untwist with each stitch even with railroading!
I give a little quarter turn as I pull the thread to the back to counteract the natural twist that forms. I just kind of unconsciously developed the habit.
I'm liking pattern keeper with my new tablet but keeping the tablet in view in front of me means that I am twisting my body slightly to the right when stitching and it is giving me a sore neck. So I need to find a solution.
I bought a folding table that only has legs at the back so it can kind of hook over my couch a bit, I find that way I can get it positioned right next to my work so I’m not bending my body the wrong way. Gotta take care of my back and neck! Not sure what brands you have available where you live but I found mine at the hardware store for about $20

@ let me try that, thank you for sharing the tip
Are you able to save and reuse Sulky threads?
Theoretically you could, but they do get a bit kinked and curly after you remove them
Getting more used to your way Still find it a bit confusing having more than one of the same colour going but will keep at it. Ty for your videos.

@@gemmastitches I'm actually thinking about a music stand, like the concert violinists use.
@@andrewsmith2591 that's a good idea!
I have an ottlite that has a tablet stand. It's really nice and sturdy and keeps great light on my work to
