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.

"Free My Mind"

The more i think about it the more I am worried how is the flow going. So, i have think carefully that i need to find a backup who is still doing this traditional embroidery or we cal it as "sulam goyang" in Malay word. This "sulam goyang" already exist since I have not been born again. Can you think how old is it. So, we know how the pattern going? The pattern is so classical and limited but I am still need to make an improvement on the pattern to be contemporary maybe and not being applied just on a table cloth, bad sheet and so on. Maybe i can applied it on flannel shirt or so on? 🤔 But, I need to let it free my mind and focus on my graduate week 😜 Honestly, I am feel so exciteddand all my batch in the same Diploma are excited. We all busy to find a good cloth,shoes and everything to look good on our special day. So stay tuned guy!

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. 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.

Embah Hampsaton collection!

In Malay calling it as "sep-prah"if I'm not mistaken hahahah. This pieces we are going to use if we having a "kenduri". So here! Some example from "Bah" that she using it when it's come some ceremony at home like family visiting and this pieces we are going to use it as a protection from food or beverages spill it out on the floor and for making this pieces more creative an beautiful we can do some embroidery on it special and I'm sure people can amazeeeeeeeeeeeee to see how detail "Bah" work. This is machine and manually embroidery made by Embah Hampsaton. The stem is computerized and the flower part is by hand which is calling by "sulaman riben" Everything that we are planning to do must have a lead that we can follow for example books and sifu's! This were fully hand embroidered by Embah Hampsaton's! This picture below is one of my favorite because of it's detailed and very cut...
