The use of metallic threads can add an exciting new dimension to your hand stitching. But they can be prone to fraying, which can easily get you into a tangle and spoil the appearance of the completed piece. A simple way to reduce this is to use shorter lengths of thread – no more than 12 inches. This reduces the friction to which the thread is subjected, as it is pulled through the fabric again and again.
