4.2 Review of the past lesson

In the previous lesson, we got familiarize the history of embroidery.

Now, we will learn about the various tools used by an hand embroiderer and
how to identify the appropriately use for hand embroidery. Students will also
be able to select suitable fabrics, needles, threads, frame, thimble, scissors,
etc. by the end of this unit. They should also be able to embroider the design
using various stitches such as stem stitch, running stitch, chain stitch, French
knot, bullion stitch, satin stitch, long and short stitch, etc. So the final output
of the embroiderer in the form of embroidered cut fabrics, garments or any
item would be beautiful and suitable as the end use of the product.

7. 8.

1. Crewel Needle- has a longer eye,the tip is slightly sharp and shaft long.
Depending on the style of hand embroidery It’s depends on which fabric is preferred
and which needle should be used. It is important to choose a good quality needle,
the better the needle, the easier and more beautiful it will be for your finished
embroidery project.

2. Stranded Cotton Thread- This thread are easier to use with six stranded floss and
affordable thread called DMC It will make your floss pull through the fabric much
more easily, and can also help you thread a needle with stubborn floss. It is
important that embroidery threads be stored in an environment that is free of
damaging agents such as excessive heat, light or moisture.

3. Embroidery Hoops- This will hold the fabric easily, wood are perfect for
beginners for seamstress smaller hoops are easier to handle. .  It keeps the fabric
taut and firm helping in making the stitches lay well over the fabric. Also, it
minimizes our effort in managing the fabric, making our stitching experience much
better.

4. Curved Embroidery Scissor- Stainless steel blades stay sharp for a long time. The
soft grip material makes the handles comfortable to use. Can be used for machine
embroidery as well. small in size with a sharp point It helps making perfect for
snipping threads and removing unwanted stitches.

5. Plain- Woven Cotton Fabric- These fabrics have threads with the same thickness
as well so they are rough and has a refined surface with higher thread count with
same number of threads per inch in both directions, so that they are woven in a
regular square grid this is important in embroidery for accurate count sizes. Even
synthetic fabric woven there is a hole for stitching between each single thread

6. Wire Loop Needle- Needle threader comes with a thin wire loop at one end. Push
this loop through your needle eye first. Push the end of the thread a little through
this loop. Now very carefully take out the loop out of the eye of the needle. The
thread inside the loop will automatically be pulled out through the eye.

7. Graphite Pencil- help to trace or draw your design onto fabric. It help to create
detailed drawings, use a pencil instead of a pen because it has more finely points
that will produce sharper lines on the fabric and easy to wash because of the light
weight ink. Be sure to test out different techniques before starting an embroidered
project so you know what works best for you and your cloth.

8. Ruler- ruler is a helpful tool for measuring the spacing between stitches on fabric.
There are a variety of marks on the ruler, including dots and lines, so be sure to find
one that works best for you. To use the ruler correctly, line up one end with the edge
of your fabric and draw a line along it with your needle.

PERFORMING THE BASIC HAND EMBROIDERY STITCHES

Before you start make sure put your thread in the eye of needle come up to the top.
The knot will be on the underside.
 RUNNING STITCH

STEP 1: INSERT NEEDLE FROM BELOW

Put your needle in the back side of the fabric and come up to the top. The knot
will be on the underside and hidden from view in the final product.

STEP 2: FIRST STITCH

Now poke the needle back down through the fabric next to where you just came
up, and pull the thread down into your first stitch. ¼ inch (6mm) away

STEP 3: REPEAT AND FINISH

Now put the needle back down through the fabric, leaving a space from the
previous stitch. Then poke the needle back down through the fabric again making
your second stitch and so on.

BACK STITCH

STEP 1: INSERT NEEDLE FROM BELOW

 For your first sample, it can be easier to draw straight lines to stitch along. Bring
the needle up from the back of the fabric at Insert the needle down in the fabric at
which is approximately ¼ inch (6mm) away.

STEP 2: FIRST STITCH

Bring the needle up at which is the same distance as that between and. For our
sample this is ¼ inch.

STEP 3: STITCH BACKWARDS

Take a small backstitch in the fabric inserting the needle in the same place as the
last stitch at bring the needle up in front of the next stitch at an equal distance at the
position.

STEP 4: PULL NEEDLE THROUGH

Pull the needle through to reveal your very first back stitch. Next is poke the last
line and continue the process. Repeat all the way along your seam until you reach
the end. This means placing the needle in at the first stitch and up at an equal
distance from the second stitch.

CROSS STITCH
STEP 1: FIRST STITCH
Draw some little squares to practice in. The size of the stitches will be determined by
the size of the square. Push your needle from the back to the right side of the fabric
at the top left of your imaginary square.

STEP 2: TO THE LEFT

Push the needle in a straight line at the back of the fabric and come up at the bottom
left which is in line with your first stitch. UP-DOWN-ACROSS & UP!

STEP 3: BACK TO TOP

Take your needle diagonally across from the bottom left corner to the top right
corner. Your thread will cross the thread from the first diagonal forming the cross
stitch.

STEP 5: REPEAT
If you plan on further stitches then take your needle at the back of your work and
bring it up at the top corner of your next stitch and follow the same pattern you
stitched for the first cross.

CHAIN STITCH
STEP 1 - STARTING
Bring your floss up through the back of your hoop at your starting point

STEP 2: FIRST STITCH

Your thread is now on the right side of the fabric. Insert the needle at point which is
next to point where the thread came to the front of the fabric. It should be a
separate hole. Exit the needle at point which is just in front of first point and poke
below of first point.

STEP 3: ANCHOR AND REPEAT

The embroidery floss is pulled through and acts as the anchor for the next chain.
Continue to create chains as you insert the needle into the space in the previous
chain next to the point where the last insert was made. Just to be clear this is next to
point above and inside the chain. Wrap the floss around the needle and there is your
next chain.Look how a whole chain can be curved or straight.

FRENCH KNOT
STEP 1: NEEDLE TO TOP
Start the French Knot with your needle and thread coming up from the back of the
fabric. Leave a ‘tail’ of thread hanging behind under the fabric that you will work in
later, or work a backstitch to hold the thread to keep the stitch secure.

STEP 2 - TWIST THE THREAD

The start of the knot requires two hands to get the tension and spacing right, so be
prepared to use one hand to hold the needle and the other to hold the thread. Put
your needle in front of the thread you are holding on the right side of the fabric. You
will be winding the thread to make the knot, but if you wind from the front, the knot
will not retain its shape. Wind the embroidery floss around the needle two or three
times. Then, wind it on with your non-needle hand. If you are right-handed, this will
be your left hand.

STEP 3: INSERT NEEDLE BACK DOWN

Keep the coil of wrapped thread around the needle taut as you insert the needle into
the fabric. Insert the needle close to the original entry point.
IMPORTANT: Do not go back into the same original hole because your knot will
unravel.

STEP 4: PULL THROUGH

Your non-needle hand is holding a length of floss. Pull that length of floss down
towards the tip of the needle This will pull the coiled thread down the needle, and as
it tightens, it makes a little bundle of thread bunched at the bottom. The coil of
thread should be firmly at the bottom of the needle next to the fabric. Pull the
thread right the way through the fabric to the back. You have now made your first
successful French knot!

LAZY DAISY STITCH

STEP 1: ENTER NEEDLE

Bring the needle up from underneath at the base of one of the petals. The center of
the flower can be as big or small as you like. I have a fairly open center. If you want a
smaller center then bring the needle up closer to the center.

STEP 2: BASE
Insert the needle next to (1) at the base of the other side of the petal at (2). There
should be a small gap between (1) and (2).

STEP 3 - FIRST PETAL

Bring the needle out at 3 which is the tip of the petal.
IMPORTANT: Wrap the thread under the tip of the needle.

STEP 4: SECURE PETAL

Put the needle down on the other side of the loop at (4) and come up at (5) which is
the base of a new petal.The thread that goes over from (3) to (4) will hold down the
tip of your petal loop.

STEP 5: REPEAT
Now just repeat as you go all the way around the flower. You can see that my center
is quite large so I can add some knots for a pop of color.

SATIN STITCH
STEP 1: MARK DESIGN
Draw your design using something that will not show or bleed into your finished
design. Graphite pencil can be used if you are going to sew over the edges.
Otherwise use chalk or removable fabric pens.

STEP 2: STARTING STITCH

Begin with your needle and thread coming up to the right side of the fabric at a spot
on the edge of the design at (1).

STEP 3: SEWING THE FIRST STITCH

Re-insert your needle directly across the pattern to the opposite side at (2).
Return to the right side of the fabric by inserting your needle from underneath, next
to the first stitch at (3).This is how the satin stitch looks when the needle is pulled
through.

STEP 4: SECOND STITCH & REPEAT

This is the pattern to follow as you fill in the area with satin stitch. Try and get the
stitches close together with minimal gaps. Repeat for the opposite side of the shape.

SPLIT STITCH
STEP 1: ENTER AND EXIT DOWN
From underneath, bring the needle up at (1)
Put the needle down at (2) a short distance away. The length of the stitch is
determined by the length of the thread of the upper stitch.

STEP 3: SPLIT THE THREAD

Bring the needle up from underneath at (3). The needle is brought through the
middle of the existing stitch. You don't need to count the threads each time as that
would be way too hard, but just be aware that the needle should be in the middle.

STEP 4: NEXT STITCH

Repeat for the next split stitch. Put the needle back down at (4)

STEP 5: SPLIT STITCH EMBROIDERY

Come up in the middle of the stitch at (5) which is in the middle of the previous
stitch.The principle behind the split stitch is that each stitch is split by the needle
whilst creating the next stitch. Split stitch is worked in a similar motion to a
backstitch.

WOVEN ROSE STITCH

STEP 1: MAKE LINE AND SHAPE

Using graphite pencil draw line like a star and five straight stitches to make a star
shape, as shown.

STEP 2:CIRCULAR
Bring the needle out from the center.
Now, start weaving the circle around the straight stitches, by taking the needle
under every alternate straight stitch.

STEP 3: UP AND DOWN

Keep going around the straight stitches without plucking the fabric underneath. You
will notice that you will go above the stitches you went under the last time.

STEP 4: KEEP GOING

A finished woven spider wheel would look like this. The number of times you want to
go around the straight stitches depends on how you want it. Each time, it will give a
different effect. Here, I have almost finished going around the straight stitches.

FISH BONE STITCH

STEP 1: START THE VEIN
Bring your needle and thread out at point near the top tip of the design. Point lies
directly on your center line. Put the needle through the point to make a single small,
straight stitch. Point lies at the very tip of your design.

STEP 2 - POINT OF LEAF

Bring the needle out at point close to the first incision and along the outline.
Take the needle to the left of the center line and exit at which is on the outer line.
The stitch points on the outer line must be close together to stop visible spaces from
forming along the design.

STEP 3: V TO RIGHT
From now you will be stitching to the left and right of the center line and never
directly on it. This forms the ridged edge in the center.

STEP 3: START CROSSING OVER

Cross the needle on the right side of the center line. Insert at (6) and ext at which is
on the outer line.

STEP 4: REPEAT
Repeat all the way down the leaf. Remember to have a long thread available because
this design uses more thread than you expect.
