Satin stitch embroidery is a whole art, the nuances of which can be comprehended only with a long study of it. Satin stitch embroidery should start with the simplest basic stitches "forward to the needle". Due to the existence of different types of surface, even with the help of one or two types of stitch, you can create a variety of patterns.
It is necessary
- - the cloth;
- - threads;
- - a needle;
- - scissors.
Instructions
Step 1
Satin stitch embroidery technique is chosen depending on what pattern should be obtained as a result. For embroidery of small patterns, most often plant ones, use a free double-sided surface without flooring. It is called free because the number of threads or stitches in the pattern is not calculated in advance, they are applied directly to the pattern on the fabric. The stitches run parallel to each other and fit closely. Leaves with uneven contours are filled with an oblique satin stitch (i.e. the stitches are at different levels), and the fruits are straight. In both cases, a needle forward stitch is used. As a result, the thread is stretched between the opposite edges of the contour, filling all its space.
Step 2
To stitch a large area, use the stitching technique. As in the previous case, the thread is drawn from one edge of the pattern to the other. But since the distance turns out to be large, in several places each stitch is secured with an additional one, superimposed perpendicularly.
Step 3
If the stitches are left loose, this type of surface is called "topstitch". In this case, a needle with a thread is inserted into the opposite edge of the pattern, withdrawn from the side, a millimeter from the previous puncture, and only then returns to the opposite contour of the pattern.
Step 4
The smooth surface does not always cover the entire drawing. To decorate some part of it, you can make a decorative mesh. With a seam "forward to the needle", the thread is pulled in parallel rows at the same distance, then the second, perpendicular layer of the smooth surface is laid on top. The crossing points of the threads in the net are fixed with small stitches - one or more, depending on the goals of the needlewoman.
Step 5
To add volume to the pattern, a smooth surface with a flooring is used. In fact, the seam is performed in the same way as in the listed options. The difference is that the pre-pattern is filled with tightly packed stitches of thick thread in one or more layers. Then stitches are placed perpendicularly, creating a decorative embroidery surface.
Step 6
Sewing holes in fabric is called a welt stitch. The stitches are laid out from the center of the hole to the sides and create diverging "rays". When creating such elements, it is important to leave the same space between the top ends of the stitches.
Step 7
Finally, the embroidery is finished with a dashed satin stitch. Regular stitches are located at a great distance from each other and decorate the pattern with “dotted lines” of different lengths.
