How To Tuft Fine Lines ?

1, Instead of doing two lines side by side double stranded.

Try doing 1 line double stranded and go over those lines twice, one on top of another. I wouldn't recommend carving thin lines on frame. You will easily lose them.

And remember that surrounding colours will push the yarn from your thin lines together and squeeze them more tightly.

Once it's off frame, carve your surrounding colours first and then your thin line last so that you are able to expose your thin line, as it will be buried benethe your surrounding colours. If you carve your thin line first, you will take chunks out of it accidently because it's all buried.

2, You need to trust the process. Fill in the spaces around your lines and the everything falls into place. It's spreading out right now because there's nothing to stop it from doing that.

3, If you really want to carve as you go, use your fingers to feel the yarn and trim with scissors not a razor.

4, You need to loosen up the tension on your stitches and work on your consistency.
