If you are stitching small dots close together in free motion embroidery, it can be difficult to cut the threads close if there is no slack in the thread; there is no room to fit your scissors into a small gap. This technique will help you with this problem by showing you how I leave the threads long by dragging out the top thread with a pin, this means you can pull the threads tight away from your work and then you can cut the thread close to our work.
Watch me stitching small dots to illustrate how I created the small shapes on this mistle thrush's chest.
Hope this helps!
