Hand Embroidery Floss

Does anyone know anything about Embroidery Floss?

I need to know what is the best Embroidery thread to do hand embroidering with? I have some but it tears in half and is constantly knotting up, and fraying. thanks in advance. I need something that will last because I am doing a memory quilt.

Use a good brand of thread such as Anchor,DMC or Appleton.

Try to keep your lengths of thread about 18 inches they need to be long enough but not too long. The thread constantly going through the fabric causes friction and will become brittle.

Also make sure you use the correct amount of strands of floss appropriate to the fabric.

Try reading a few articles on the subject.
