There are many types of embroidery. For a cross or a tapestry stitch, you do not need to transfer the pattern to the material, since these types of stitches are made according to patterns. But satin stitch is most often embroidered according to a contour pattern, which must first be transferred to the fabric. There are several ways.
It is necessary
- - picture:
- - tracing paper;
- - non-woven fabric;
- - a needle;
- - chalk or pencil lead;
- - a piece of sandpaper;
- - a simple pencil;
- - transfer pencil;
- - copy paper;
- - a large piece of glass;
- - iron;
- - lamp.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most common ways to transfer a design to fabric is with carbon paper. Nowadays it is most often sold in sewing stores, but sometimes it can also be found where stationery is sold. Place the fabric you will be embroidering on with the right side up on a horizontal surface. Place the color side of the copy paper against the fabric. Place the drawing on top. Trace all the lines of the pattern with a simple pencil or ballpoint pen.
Step 2
In the old days, needlewomen most often applied the drawing in a way that was called "priporokh". Transfer the pattern to tracing paper. On all contours, make punctures with a thick needle at a distance of 0.5 cm from each other. Place tracing paper on the fabric (you can pinch them in several places, especially if the fabric is slippery). Trace the outline of the drawing with chalk. You can rub a piece of chalk on sandpaper and cover the drawing with the resulting powder. The chalk will fall on the fabric through the holes. This method is good for embroidery on thick, fleecy fabrics.
Step 3
The drawing can be stitched. Translate it into tracing paper. Stick the tracing paper onto the fabric. Sew the outlines with a needle-forward seam with small stitches. Remove the paper.
Step 4
Non-woven (not adhesive) can be used as an auxiliary material. Transfer the drawing not to the non-woven sheet. Place the non-woven fabric over the fabric and hoop. Sew the outlines with a needle-forward stitch. Non-woven fabric can be removed as easily as tracing paper, but it can be left in some areas. Parts of the pattern with such a spacer will turn out to be convex.
Step 5
For thin fabrics, the transfer of the pattern to the light is suitable. To do this, you need a glass table. If not, you can put a piece of glass on 2 stools. Put the drawing on the glass, and the fabric on it. Put the lamp down. When the lamp is on, the drawing will be perfectly visible, especially if it is made on thick paper with ink.
Step 6
You can also use a special transfer pencil. You can buy one at a handicraft store. Transfer the drawing to tracing paper with this pencil. Apply a colored layer of tracing paper to the fabric and iron with a hot iron. When translating a picture in this way, two circumstances must be taken into account. First, the drawing is obtained in a mirror image. Secondly, there is a certain temperature limit for each type of fabric. This method is best used when working with relatively heat-resistant materials such as cotton and linen.
