Q1: What does light density mean?
Light density means the stitches are spaced out rather than packed tight. This creates a softer finish and gives I Tried Being Normal Once Funny Quote a light, airy look that lets your fabric color show through.
Q2: How do I wash my finished piece?
Use cool water and a mild detergent. Air drying or using a low-heat tumble dry setting will keep your thread looking fresh for years.
Q3: Can I change the thread colors?
Yes, feel free to get creative. The provided color chart is just a guide, and you can swap any color during the machine stops to customize the pattern to your taste.
Q4: What needle should I use?
A standard 75/11 or 80/12 universal needle is best for most projects. If your fabric is very delicate, you may prefer a smaller needle size.
Q5: Are all common machine formats included?
Yes, I Tried Being Normal Once Funny Quote comes in a zip file containing formats for all major machine brands, including PES, JEF, DST, and VP3.
