Tips and Tricks for the heart embroidery

White gel ink is permanent, so make sure you trace carefully and cover all of the lines with your stitching as they won’t wash out.
To keep your fabric tight the whole time you’re stitching, wrap the inner hoop with cotton twill tape. This will allow the hoop to squeeze the fabric more tightly and keep it from loosening as you stitch. Tight fabric means you can achieve more accurate stitches.
