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.

So here i do about Embroidery

  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.

In a meanwhile Im trying to find my backup organization

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? Maybe 🤔 So, this is a machine using by Kak Safarina The hoop or "ram" is the main needed when doing an embroidery So, my new organization is a wife with 2 kids and 30's series of mother who is still love to sew and mak...
