What should I pay attention to in plain embroidery?

The basic essentials of plain embroidery are the four word formula of "uniformity, flatness, uniformity, and smoothness".

"Uniform" means that the distance between embroidery threads should be uniform and not uneven in density;

"Flat" refers to the fact that the embroidery surface should be flat, free of twisted wires, overlapping lines, bumps, and exposed bottoms;

"Homogeneous" means that the starting and falling points of the needle must fall neatly on the pink line (contour line), without exposing the pink line and the pink line, or the length of the falling points is uneven;

"Shun" means that the direction of the embroidery thread should be consistent in order.

At the same time, in the process of embroidery, attention should also be paid to handling the problem of floating lines. From the start of the stitch to the end of the stitch, a thread is embroidered and floats on the fabric, known as a floating thread. The float line should not be too long, generally around 1cm. Practical embroidery can be shorter, while decorative embroidery can be slightly longer; The length of the float line shall not exceed 2cm, limited to fingering without exposing the bottom. "If the float line becomes long, it needs to be stitched, such as pressing a needle or dividing it into long and short stitches, with the length of the needle being staggered.".

In order to avoid excessively long float lines, flat embroidery is generally done in a short position. If embroidering a long leaf, it should be done horizontally or diagonally. And cannot be embroidered vertically. Therefore, the embroidery direction should be determined according to the size of the pattern.

The larger the area of flat embroidery, the more laborious it is. Attention should be paid to labor saving in embroidery design, so the design of flower patterns often uses labor saving elongated leaf shapes. There is also a lot of exposure to the fabric bottom, and the amount of embroidery work can be relatively reduced

The embroidered surface is exquisite, delicate and full of texture.
