Hand Embroidery for Beginners
Hand-embroidered embroideries on different fabric types are supported with different materials in each design. The simple hand embroidery techniques used in these designs were used in the collar, neck circumference, front middle, hem, sleeve and general surface decorations of the garments for decoration purposes.
embroidery has been around forever—and that's hardly an exaggeration. Its roots are ancient, with every culture having some form it in their textile art history. Although the activity started with practical beginnings to mend clothing, it has grown into a creative endeavor that remains popular today. Hand embroidery has seen a major resurgence over the past several years—particularly among contemporary artists who incorporate thread into their work, or use the embroidery hoop as a frame for fabric art.
Beginning Hand Embroidery
Embroidery has humble roots, which is great news for beginners; it’s an easily accessible craft to start. Supplies are inexpensive and the techniques range from basic to advanced. You might even know some of the embroidery stitches—many of us learn to sew from a parent or grandparent, as the skills of embroidery are traditionally passed on from generation to generation.
Supplies
Here’s a supplies list to get you started:
Embroidery hoops. Hoops come in all sizes, from just a few inches in diameter to over a foot.
Thread The DMC brand is industry standard (it’s been around since 1746), and they have a very loyal following. It’s easy to see why—a skein is less than a dollar and they have a ton of colors available.
Scissors. Embroidery scissors are small (palm-sized) and just sharp enough to trim thread.
Needles. Needles often come in packs with a range of sizes. Depending on the type of fabric you’re sewing on, some needles will work better than others.
Fabric. The possibilities are seemingly endless when it comes to sewing. If you’re looking for a place to start, try a fabric that’s pure cotton. Make sure that it doesn’t have stretch (like you might find in cotton blends) and that its weave isn’t too loose.
