Take Out the Curls

by Serena Smith

Here's a tip for using monofilament thread for handwork. Cut off a length of thread and run it under a warm iron. The thread will straighten, making it easer to thread the needle and stitch. Be careful not to leave the thread under the iron or it will melt, it just needs a little heat to take out the curl.

Curling monofilament thread can be very frustrating! In one of my classes, one of the ladies discovered that the iron will take out the curl and lots of your frustration!!  :)
