Flagging

Up and down motion of goods under action of the needle, so named because of its resemblance to a waving flag. Often caused by improper framing of goods. Flagging may result in poor registration, unsatisfactory stitch quality and birdnesting.

Embroidery Tip

  • Your embroidery is not finished until the last trimming is done. Use tweezers to pull up the thread on the front and snip closely to the fabric. The tension will stretch the thread and after clipping will disappear into the fabric. Leave thread tails on the back 1/4” to 1/2” long to prevent raveling. Trimming too closely can cut lock stitches.
