Use Basic Tools in Embroidery

Development of Philippine Embroidery

Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with

needle and thread or yarn. In this way, it has been practiced for decades. (Justin Morris,
May 2009)
Embroidery is the ornamentation of textiles and other materials with
needlework for personal use and decoration not only at home but for offices as well.
The term embroidery is an English word derived from the old French embroiders
meaning edge and border. Embroidery was introduced into the Orient by the
Netherlands in the 15th century. It was bought by the Spaniards into the Philippines
where it has made a wonderful growth, and work done it rivals the best work done
in Switzerland, a country noted for its exquisite embroidery.
Embroidery stretched its highest development during the middle ages. The
nuns in the convents were the first to make articles with embroidery work during
their leisure time. Since then, it became so popular that women started to enjoy it,
creating designs of their own. In the beginning, embroideries were done by hand.
But since the advent of technology and the invention of the sewing machine, people
are now engaged in machine embroidery. Today, because of the fast growth of the
industry, elegance of designs, and fineness of workmanship, Filipinos export articles
with embroidery work and other related native Philippine products compete globally
to make it known in the needlecraft industry. In this craft to achieve the finest
results, correct tools and materials are to be used. Tools refer to small or handy
devices/instruments used in sewing while materials or supplies are those that are
consumed in finishing a project.

Embroidery needle- a short piece of steel with a fine point at one end and a little
opening or eye at the other.

Needles should always have a fine tip so that they can easily move in and out
of the fabric. Do not use a bent needle, without a point or rusty. This will affect the
regularity and neatness of work. Protect your needles by storing them in a needle
case. to sharpen needles or make pins last longer by rubbing them with an abrasive
material such as sandpaper or heavy wool.

6
 Keep in mind that pins and needles are one of the most inexpensive notions
used. It is recommended to discard your needle after eight hours of use; usually when
threads or fibers start breaking and you feel it pulling on your fabric instead of gliding
through it.

Types of Embroidery Needles Picture

1. Crewell
- sizes 1-10 are sharp-pointed, medium length with
large eyes for easy threading they

q=crewell+needle+embroidery&tbm=isch&v

2. Chenille
- sizes 13-26 are also sharp-pointed needles but
they are thicker and longer and have larger eyes.
They are the types of needles appropriate for
embroidery that is worked with heavier https://www.google.com/search?q=Chenill
e+needle+embroidery&tbm=isch&ved=2ah
yarns.
3. Tapestry needle
- is from sizes 13 -26. They are similar in size to
chenille but are blunt rather than sharp. This
makes them best for thread-counting embroidery
and the needlepoint as well.

q=tapestry+needle+sizes&tbm=isch&ved=2

Materials
1. Fabric- sometimes referred to as cloth, are of great variety and they differ in
material, weight, weave, design, color, and finish.
Three Types of Fabric
a. Common weave- includes most tightly woven fabrics with a relatively smooth
surface like linen, wool, and cotton. They are best used for articles with decorative
stitches.
b. Even-weave- are intended for Hardanger embroidery since the number of threads
per square inch is the same for both warp and woof.
c. Basketweave- is commonly used by beginners and ramie linen by those who have
been used to this embroidery.

Note: All fabrics should be prewashed before using them for quilting or embroidery.
The filler that is used in the fabric can cause havoc if it is not removed by washing
before working with the fabric.

2. Thread - is available in various types. They differ in terms of texture, fiber content,
number of strands, and colors. Threads are usually coded in numbers and color
names. They can be bought in skeins, balls, or spools. The color of the thread
should suit the color and texture of the design and the fabric to be embroidered.

Proper Care of Embroidery Thread
It is important to ensure proper and careful care of embroidery thread. Store
it properly under controlled conditions to avoid the following issues: thread dents,
discoloring, and fading, lint buildup, and brittleness.

5. Feather Stitch
a. We begin by doing a long-tailed daisy with the
start point on A. The loop is angled at about 45
degrees since we are making a zig-zag pattern.
While making the ‘tail’, before going in through the
fabric, we wrap the thread around the needle as
shown in the illustration.

15
b. Then, the needle is put in through C and brought
out through D, again at an angle of about 45
degrees. Next, loop the thread around the needle
as shown. This is to make the next long-tailed
daisy
c. Continue this procedure of making long-tailed
daisies at 45 angles. This illustration shows a
portion of the feathered chain stitch.

d. This illustration shows a portion of the feathered

chain stitch.

6. Fishbone
a. To begin with, bring the needle out through point
A, which is the top tip of line Y. Put it in through
B, to make a single straight stitch.

b. Now, bring the needle out from a point very close

to A on line X. Put it in through a point very close
to B online Y. Again pull out the needle through a
point very close to A on line Z.

c. This procedure of putting in the needle through X

and Z alternatively will follow. Each time we will be
connecting X-Y and Y-Z.

d. Make sure all the stitch points lie close to each

other to avoid any visible spaces.

e. Halfway through, our leaf would look like this. You

can see the rib being formed.

f. Once finished, the filled leaf would look like this.

a. Bring the needle out through the first stitch line at
A. Now, take the needle in through B, which lies
diagonally across A on the second stitch line. Then,
take the needle back out through C, which lies
near B.

b. Now, the same procedure will be worked on the

first stitch line. Take the needle diagonally across
to D and bring the needle back out through E.

c. Continue to make such crosses on both stitch lines

alternately. Make sure the diagonal stitches are
parallel to each other to bring out the best look.

9. Lazy Daisy Chain Stitch
a. Bring the thread out through A. Put in the needle
near A and bring it out through point B, but don’t
pull the needle out completely. Now, loop the
thread around the needle, like we would in chain
stitch.

b. Pull out the needle to tighten the loop. Put in the

needle just outside the chain created and that will
finish the lazy daisy stitch.

Let Us Reflect
Nowadays some individuals are not appreciative of the art of embroidery. But
still, these old favorites pass the time of our grandmothers, mothers and aunties are
still existing at present. The designs, skills and even the process develops new
techniques presentation. To others embroidery serves as a challenging work to ignite
their artistry; also it serves as inspiration. We all need inspiration in our lives
whether it be in our homes, our careers, or our person. Creating a beautiful piece of
embroidery tends to make us more aware of our surroundings – we find we are
stimulated by colors and forms that we may not have noticed before. A beautiful
flower, bird, landscape, or artwork may inspire our next piece of embroidery. It
enriches our lives.

Lastly, the materials, tools, and skills will define your masterpiece.
