I have learned so much from so many during the few years I've been at ATW but I think organization is the key to making my embroidery experience more enjoyable. I make sure I have all the materials I am going to need right at hand. Having the stabilizer for the product, making sure I have all my threads out and on the thread stand (DH made me a 14 spool stand) in the order they are going to be used. When a color needs to be repeated later in the design, I will leave that space blank and then after using it the first time, I will move it to the empty place. This also allows me to see the colors being used and make changes if I want to. Having the proper scissors at hand. Of course, I have my little curved nippers for cutting threads, but if I'm doing applique, I make sure my applique scissors are right at hand. All that being said, I guess my tip is organizing my threads in order to be used.
