Scrapbooking Tips

1. When hand stitching on paper, use a thimble or needle gripper to protect your fingers and make stitching easier.
2. Work on a soft surface like a foam mat to allow your needle to pierce through the paper more easily.
3. Pre-punch your holes before stitching if you're not using a die with stitching holes.
4. Use washi tape on the back of your project to secure thread ends instead of bulky knots.
5. Keep your stitches loose enough to prevent paper tearing but tight enough to create defined patterns.
