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.
