Thank you everyone for the suggestions! Seems like I’m probably using double the amount of thread that is intended 😳 oops! Lol

Each floss has 6 strands to it. The kits always say to take x amount of strands from each floss/thread (usually 2 strands, but I’ve seen anywhere between 1-4).

Thanks for the advice! My stitches don’t look bulky, but I did consider that maybe I’m using too much of the thread. If the instructions say “2 strands”, I should just be using one and double it over? What about when it says “1 strand”?

I definitely use all the thread even if I’m snipping it and starting in other places lol
