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.

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...

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. s mall, 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 fa...
