Gather all the necessary materials for your fix following these guidelines:
-
Pick the proper embroidery needle size. Lightweight fabrics can use a smaller needle, while heavyweight fabrics will need a larger needle.
-
Ensure that you pick a color of embroidery floss that matches the color of the thread you are trying to fix.
-
If using a lightweight fabric (e.g. cotton), use an embroidery hoop to stabilize the fabric.

To tie the anchor knot, push the needle and thread through an existing stitch or fabric hidden under the pattern. This should form a loop when you pull the needle.
-
Place your needle through that loop and pull to create an anchor knot.
-
Repeat this step 1-2 times to strengthen the knot.

-
To use fabric glue, apply 1-2 drops everywhere that there is embroidery on the back of the fabric. Allow this to dry for at least 5 minutes.
-
If using a steamer, follow the instructions to turn it on for your particular model. Run the steamer over the back of the fabric two times. This will make the stitches taut.
