Finally, i have found my life savers who's still willing to help me out with my Traditional Embroidery organization that I'd choose which it call as "sulam goyang" . Why it's called by that "Sulam goyang" because it still using a method like normal embroidery like using a hoop or in Malay call it as"ram". The 'ram' which used as to control the pattern goings or the main point in embroidery thing is as to make the fabric taut so can produce a neat and good pattern onto the fabric. When we look at their pattern it's look so vintage but I believe that i can make an improvement or an innovation onto that kind of thing. From the classical pattern can be an contemporary pattern or hipster?

Hand embroidery is a tactile art. It begs to be touched! Why? Usually because texture and dimension are a noticeable part of embroidery.Sometimes, texture and dimension happen accidentally, but often, designers purposely add dimension and texture to their embroidery projects in order to increase their beauty and interest. In the first part of this series on dimension and texture in hand embroidery, we’re going to look at common embroidery threads and how their fiber, weight and twist help add dimension and texture to embroidery. Hand embroidery threads: cotton, wool and silk While there are many types of threads on the market that can be used in hand embroidery, we’re going to concentrate first on the most common fibers used for surface embroidery: cotton, silk and wool. Cotton embroidery thread Stranded cotton The most popular cotton thread used in hand embroidery is undoubtedly stranded cotton, which is also called “embroidery floss” in the United States.

When you consider the number of hours that will be spent on a needlework project, then you will see the importance of using good quality embroidery thread.  Embroidery floss is used for a large variety of needlework projects - cross-stitch, counted thread, embroidery, needlepoint, smocking, crewel, punch embroidery, appliqué and quilting.  Embroidery floss is a thread that is manufactured or hand-spun specifically for embroidery and other forms of needlework.  It is a loosely twisted, slightly glossy 6-strand thread, usually of cotton but also manufactured in silk, polyester, rayon, and linen. Choosing the Right Embroidery Floss Embroidery flosses come in a rainbow of colors to choose from.  When using a needlework chart, care should be taken to stay within the same manufacturer to ensure consistency throughout your project as thicknesses and other factors can vary. Embroidery thread can be divided based on how delicate you want your finished product to l

When deciding the best machine embroidery thread to use, two main characteristics must be considered: weight and type. Considering thread weight Thread weight works just the opposite of how it sounds. The higher the thread weight number, the finer and thinner the thread. Alternately, a low thread weight number means a thicker, heavier thread. 40 wt. rayon (left) and 30 wt. cotton variegated (right) via Craftsy blogger Debbie Henry To compare, typical sewing thread measures in at 50 wt. Standard embroidery threads are somewhat finer, most often 40 wt., although 30 wt. is not uncommon. Unless specified, nearly all embroidery designs are digitized for 40 wt. thread. While 80 wt. or 100 wt. threads are ideal for fine heirloom embroidery, redwork with a 30 wt. thread or blanket stitching with a 12 wt. thread makes it appear almost as if it was done by hand.   Types of machine embroidery threads Rayon Rayon is the most popular and affordable machine embroidery thr

When it comes to hand embroidery, I’ve noticed that stitches are really enthusiastic about their tools! Needlework tools often become the focus of the collector in many of us. We end up amassing slew of tools that make our stitching more efficient or simply more pleasurable. But sometimes, especially for beginners just getting into embroidery, the overwhelming amount of tools and accessories available can be a bit daunting. It can also be a real turn-off, because it makes embroidery seem like a hobby that’s complicated or expensive. In fact, there are very few essential hand embroidery supplies. If you strip necessities for embroidery down to the bare minimum, really, all you need is a needle. You can cut thread with your teeth, after all! For embroiderers who are just starting out or just beginning to explore embroidery a little deeper, here’s a list of five essential tools to help make your embroidery better, more efficient, or just more pleasurable.
