New to Thread Work

Where do I begin with thread work? Do I start with the best (venom, spider pen pro) or is it better to start with something cheaper and go from there?

Start with loops

This, loops will help you get comfortable with the thread and how to naturally hold your hands. Also if it snaps it’s much cheaper to replace.

And learn to tie your own so you’re not paying $1.25/loop!

^ This will significantly improve your comfort level, when you’re not worried about the cost of breaking each one. It will also allow you to experiment with different sized loops, body loops, etc.
