use the correct needle

Embroidery thread is usually thicker than normal sewing thread, so you'll want to use a needle that can hold the thicker thread. Look for needles marked "embroidery" or "topstitching" that have a larger eye size to allow easy threading of the embroidery thread.

Adjust tension

Embroidery thread may require a different tension setting than normal sewing thread. Experiment with the tension of your machine until you find the correct setting for your embroidery floss.

Slower

Embroidery thread is thicker and heavier than regular sewing thread, so use it slowly on your sewing machine. This will help prevent disconnections and other issues.

Use a wire stand

Embroidery floss typically uses large spools, which can cause the thread to unravel and tangle. Use a wire rack to help keep your wire organized and prevent it from tangling.

Waste Cloth Test

Before using embroidery floss in a project, it's a good idea to test it on a scrap piece of fabric. This will help you understand how the thread will work with your machine and fabric.
