severn3024.bsky.social @severn3024.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Just bought my first embroidery kit. I don’t know why, but I cannot seem to do a French knot. I’m a lefty, so maybe I’m doing something wacky. I’m going to keep practicing. 110
MissHalcyon @misshalcyon.bsky.social · 17/05/2026French knots are notoriously difficult until you get a hang of them! The key for me is using a shorter length of floss and keeping CONSTANT tension on the thread. The shorter length prevents tangles and makes it easier to keep tension. This video shows what I mean. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjI5...youtube.comHow to do a French KnotYouTube video by Cutesy Crafts 110
MissHalcyon @misshalcyon.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Also, I hope you're enjoying your kit!!! My first one was so messy and wild, but over time you learn bits and pieces of how to improve. I also love lurking on r/embroidery to learn some tips! 010
