Here are some famous fabrics that are often used by embroiderers:
• ME32F Belfast Linen Fabric – this is usually used in doing cross stitches and Blackwork embroidery because of its natural uneven threads. These are also used for bed coverings and furniture dresses.
• ME32F Etamin 32 Count Cotton Fabric – This fabric is known for its soft and smooth texture. This is said to be very ideal for hand embroidery because of the visible patterns in the fabrics and holes that make stitching so easy.
• Kid Leather – because of the texture of this fabric, it is advisable to use machine rather than hand embroidery. However, this can still be use in hand embroidery.
2. Threads
Threads are important in embroidery. Your design and figure will depend upon the threads you use. Also, the colors of the threads are essential in giving life to the design of your embroidery. Cotton, wool, silk, and metallic are types of threads that can be used. In hand embroidery, the thickness of the thread is also important. This will define the density of lines and the colors of the embroidery designs.
3. Patterns
Patterns are essential in embroidery since they serve as guides in doing the stitches in your embroidery. Oftentimes, embroidery designs are too complicated that a guide or pattern is needed. It is by means of stitching the design over the cloth. You can create your own patterns or you can have them downloaded from the Internet.
4. Needles
Of course, one can never embroider without the help of needles. In embroidery, particularly in hand embroidery, different types and sizes of needles are used. Every stitching style needs specific needle in order to have a very good output.
Now that you already have the essential things needed in hand embroidery, the next thing you should do is shop for these things and you can enjoy the art.
