Surely in the wardrobe of every woman and girl there are things that they have worn only a couple of times, or maybe not worn at all.
Over time, skirts, blouses and other clothes are outdated, out of fashion. How to give them a second life? There are many ways to make something brand new out of an old thing. And one of them are different kinds of embroidery.
The most famous and popular types of embroidery are cross stitch and satin stitch. Let's find out more about them.
Types of cross stitch
Cross stitching is the easiest and most common way. It has several varieties.
Simple cross stitch - sewn from right to left, starting at the top and ending at the bottom diagonally. All stitches must be in the same direction.
Elongated cross - the technology is the same as in a simple cross. Only here the stitch occupies more than one cell on the canvas.
Rice stitch - large crosses are embroidered on the entire surface of the canvas, each with four threads. Then the stitches themselves are embroidered. They must pass through the four points of the great cross. This is how new crosses are obtained.
Straight cross– embroider horizontal and vertical stitches.
The "Slavic" cross is the same as the elongated one, only with a slope and crosses.
Types of satin stitch embroidery
Satin stitch is a technique for embroidering with dense stitches. It can be double-sided and one-sided.
Double-sided smooth surface - the embroidered pattern is the same from the front and from the wrong side.
Single-sided smooth surface - the wrong side is radically different from the front side.
Decorative stitch embroidery is mainly used for embroidery of flowers, leaves, etc. Petals are embroidered from the edge to the center, and leaves are embroidered to the middle, as the veins are located.
When embroidering the top side, the front side is embroidered with dense stitches, and the wrong side is obtained in the form of dotted lines.
Beads, ribbons, gold or silver threads can be used for embroidery.
The picture embroidered with beads looks very nice. Beads convey all the bright colors and shades. The drawings seem to come alive in the hands. For embroidery with beads, a thin fishing line is used, but you can also embroider with a regular thread. The main thing is that the beads are the same size, and the needle can easily pass through the holes of the beads.
Gimp embroidery - for this technique only gold or silver threads are used. They can be replaced with lurex or plastic-based threads.
The gimp itself is attached to the fabric with a thread using one of threepossible ways. It can be fastened like beads by threading a thread through small pieces of gimp. You can stretch the gimp and thread the thread through it, and then attach it to the fabric in several more places. The stiff gimp needs to be stretched and sewn to the fabric with small stitches, but the thread does not need to be threaded through it.
Ribbon embroidery is the easiest technique of all types of embroidery. It does not require particularly scrupulous execution and provides an opportunity to embody the flight of your imagination in needlework.
The article lists only the most famous types of embroidery. But her techniques continue to develop and improve. You can learn more about the types of embroidery in the special literature for needlewomen.
