Embroidery patterns are a blueprint to follow when creating a design. A visual image, divided into separate squares, helps to determine the size of the product, maintain color rendition, calculate the number of elements, etc.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the diagram. The quality of the drawing should be good - all elements should be clear and sharp, you should be comfortable with the scale. If the scheme that you have does not meet these requirements, then you need to redraw it.
Step 2
Study the diagram carefully and determine the presence of complex symbols. These can be arrows pointing in different directions, individual elements (filled and empty), circles and ovals, and similar icons. Try to remember their location, or write them down on a separate piece of paper so that you periodically pay attention to it.
Step 3
For your convenience, highlight the symbols with colored markers. Work on the black and white scheme, coloring it so that the picture is clearer. This will make it easier to perceive. But even if the scheme is colored, then only individual elements can be distinguished, which are easy to confuse. The more complex the scheme, the more intense staining it requires.
Step 4
Attach the diagram to a special holder board. It is very convenient to use magnetic boards - organizers. Wrap it with a circuit and secure it with special binders.
Step 5
Secure the string you are embroidering with a magnetic stripe (they can be sold with organizers or purchased separately). So you will help yourself not to get lost, not to jump from the desired line and not to lose it.
Step 6
Stitch the symbols by color. Select a one-color element on the diagram and sew it off. In order not to get lost, paint over the already embroidered details with a new color, right on top of the previous coloring.
Step 7
If the diagram is simple, then it does not need to be colored. Just count the number of elements and sew line by line - it is better to start from the bottom up, moving in horizontal rows. Begin embroidering in the middle, backing off the width of one square and the distance left for the canvas, and then fill in the side squares.
Step 8
For large canvases, several patterns are required. You transfer individual sheets with elements of the general pattern to the fabric, having previously calculated the scale and dividing it into squares of the same name. For convenience, glue the sheets of sewn circuits together - this way you will be able to follow the combination of borders and the overall composition. Be sure to mark the embroidered details with a marker.
