How to embroidery

Step 1: What You'll Need to Start Embroidering

To start embroidering, you'll need the following items:

embroidery hoop - this is a ring consisting of two parts. You put the fabric in between the hoops - this helps keep it taut, making the embroidering easier. These come in plastic and wood - I prefer plastic for doing the embroidering and wood for displaying the embroideries.
small, sharp scissors. You can find these under many names - though a google search for "embroidery scissors" will get you what you need. :D
your fabric of choice! Linen, quilting cotton, canvas and osnaburg are all great choices! It should not be too loosely woven or too tight.
embroidery floss. This is cheap and comes in TONS of colors. I prefer DMC floss and use it exclusively.
embroidery needles. These have bigger eyes than normal needles to accommodate the size of the floss.
a water soluble marker or other marking tool. This way you can draw designs onto your fabric! It's best it you use a water soluble pen so you can rinse the markings out with cold water at the end.
whatever fabric you like! Muslin, quilting cotton, canvas and linen all work well. I typically embroidery on a linen blend.

Machine Embroidery

Several weeks ago, I promised to do a review on my personal embroidery machine. Well perhaps "review" wasn't the appropriate word to describe my intention. What I hope to do is to provide you with information that I would have liked to have had several years ago when I was first pursuing a machine for myself. I knew absolutely NOTHING about embroidery machines, so when doing the research, I didn't even understand the terminology to know what to look for. Since then, I've learned quite a bit about these things, but I am certainly not an expert. I'll start by saying that I ended up with a Singer Futura. And this is what it looks like. It's pretty light, considered portable, and converts between an embroidery machine and a standard sewing machine by switching out the arm. The embroidery stitching happens just like a sewing machine -- the needle moves up and down, sometimes very fast. The design is produced by moving the hoop. So while the needle is stitchi

The Best Machine Embroidery Thread

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.

Hi loggers! Every embroidery techniques have their own personality. For what i've found a for my embroidery research is more classical 60's embroidery were made by Embah Hampsaton who is still have a patience doing this handicraft on the table cloth. Table cloth or malay people called it as "sepprah". "Sepprah" is using as a covered the floor or as table cloth to be more neat and creative and manners when we put variety food onto it. It's so classical pattern as u can see here made by "Bah" so i think, I'm gonna innovate the motif to be an modern pattern hmmmmm there's a lot of step that I'm gonna learn here and I'm really sure that my "Bah" gonna help me to this.
