Satin stitching can be performed in several techniques, which have rather significant differences among themselves, but the basics of performing all elements for counting, uncountable and slotted surface (cutwork) are the same, only some technical nuances differ.
It is necessary
- - floss threads;
- - needles;
- - embroidery hoop;
- - scissors;
- - the cloth.
Instructions
Step 1
In any technique, most often floral patterns or elements stylized as floral are performed using ironing stitching in any technique. Therefore, most often, a double-sided free surface without flooring is used, in which the number of threads and stitches is not counted in advance - just the outline of the pattern, previously applied to the fabric, is filled with embroidery stitches. In this case, the stitches should fit very tightly and parallel to each other.
Step 2
Elements with uneven contours are best filled with oblique stitch, in which the stitches have different lengths - they are at different levels, and elements of a rounded shape (resembling fruits) are performed with straight stitch. And in fact, and in another case, before the beginning of filling the picture, its contour must be sheathed with a seam "forward to the needle". When sewing any element, all stitches should have the same tight and even tension.
Step 3
When filling a pattern with a large area, it is better to use a stitched seam. In this case, the embroidery thread is also drawn from one contour of the pattern to the opposite, but due to the large distance, its tension is not strong. Therefore, it is imperative to secure the main thread at several levels with an additional perpendicular stitch with a thread of the main color.
Step 4
A separate embroidery stitch is also possible, which is not fixed with perpendicular stitches, but reliable fixation is ensured due to the fact that the needle and embroidery thread are driven in at a distance of 1 mm from the desired puncture site, a small stitch is made and the thread returns to the opposite edge of the pattern.
Step 5
It is also possible to make a decorative mesh, for which the thread is pulled with a seam "needle forward" in parallel rows at the same distance between the mesh elements, and then on top of the first one is laid out at a right angle the second layer of the smooth surface. The intersections of the stitches are fixed with small perpendicular stitches (both the main color and the contrasting thread can be used).
Step 6
Smoothing iron with flooring is used for making volumetric elements. For its embroidery, the bottom layer is filled with dense stitches with a thread of a larger diameter, and the top layer is embroidered with a thread of the required diameter and tone.
Step 7
Slotted stitch is used for sewing holes in fabric, while the stitches are embroidered from the center of the hole to the sides in the form of diverging rays. For a neat look of embroidery, each beam should be the same length.
