Hi there Britta!
Grab the nearest pen, because it's about to become one of your favorite embroidery tools. Wrapping your thread around it is a simple little hack that adds real height and dimension to your stitches, creating a lovely rounded tunnel effect that's quick to stitch up too.
We love using this technique for bun-style hairdos in our patterns, like the beautiful updo in The Florist (a Maker's Academy exclusive).
Once you've built up your stitches and slide the pen back out, the tunnel holds its round shape, giving your piece such a fun, textural pop.
We've put together a full guide to walk you through it step by step, so you can start adding this playful bit of dimension to your own designs.
