10 tips for hand embroidery beginners

So I thought what kind of advice would I give to newcomers and managed to write a complete essay hahaha.

These tips are especially for those who are just starting to embroider by hand, I tried to remind myself at this stage and at that point I tried to think about what I want to say to someone and what my "students" want if they want to say. . Made. He was an embroidery teacher. This is somewhat floral knitting here.

So drink some tea or coffee and sit down because I obviously had a lot to say hahaha.

First, I hope you do not put too much pressure on yourself.

There are a lot of beautiful hand embroideries, right? We visit Pinterest and Google all the time. And maybe you were inspired by one of those tasks and you decided, well, I'll start embroidering that way! But then ... your results are a little worse than you thought :(

Do you know him

Well, you have to remember that we all have to practice to master something . And the beautiful embroidery you see on the net is done after you have gained enough experience of the artist. Therefore it would not be fair to compare the work of your newcomers with the work of someone who has long worked in this embroidery world.

If you compare yourself to someone, do it only in a positive way, as motivation to work hard, as a desired goal. If you fail at this and feel frustrated, it is best to avoid confronting yourself.

You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. As simple as the sound of fabric, thread and needle may be, it will still take some time to get to know yourself and learn how to use it most effectively. And then, after a while, the hands get used to moving the girlfriend in the right way, adjusting the eyes and identifying where the girlfriend should fit to make her look better.

As long as you practice, you will get where you want to go :)

The idea here is that you should not overload yourself with big plans and choose something that suits your abilities.

You can find a very beautiful model or design, but if it is on a larger scale, it consists of different techniques, some of which are very new to you, then ... you can drown with a lot of information and finish. All points and the strategic project were completely lost. And that will lead to disappointment.

Of course, no one knows your skills better than you do. It is possible for such projects to function perfectly as a learning place for you! That is, if you are positive enough and patient enough to deal with it. In this case, you will definitely complete the project and feel like a Hercules controlling Cerberus!

Otherwise, do not overdo it. It's okay to start small, try something simple first - no matter how big or small your steps, they will be your goal again :)

This is a piece of advice based on my personal experience. And this is especially true for those of you who are taking the first step of hand embroidery.

Take every needle you find, every thread, every piece of cloth and try to sew something: for example , the back knitting, the knitting at the end , the French knot , for example. Well, whatever you want, really. You can move the needle at random until you understand how this "embroidery" works.

So you can read some fabric pins and needles , choose a good yarn (DMC is a common option), find a circle, and slightly improve your practice. With different materials and tools you will notice the difference in your embroidery. Now you can start with other points , try a flower, a leaf, a pet, etc. what do you want

After a little practice like this, you will observe what works best, develop your habits and strategies. These observations will also raise new questions. You can find the answer in the book , Seek advice or ask an expert for their personal opinion. After that, your practice will be updated again.

Of course, this plan is exaggerated. It is very possible to do research and practice on hand-embroidered fabrics at the same time. But I hope I have a general idea.

There is a lot of theoretical information about hand embroidery, but if you already have an experience, if you have something to compare, it is easy to understand. Well, that's my personal opinion. I believe that new abstract knowledge is more suitable for practical knowledge, at least I have seen it in my journey.

Most of what you see on my blog can be called "fine embroidery" , which is mostly done with 1 thread. On my Instagram account, I recently did a small survey where one question had to do with 1 thread work. The answers show that there are many semesters who want to try it, but are really scared / interested in using thread 1 because they think it is too difficult or too long.

Now, if you do not really like working with a thread, that's another matter. Yes! Just do what makes you happy!

But if you like great embroidery, think "it's not for you", "it's too complicated", "it's especially for free artists". Then you can not stay away from the truth. Try it! The problems you may encounter can be resolved over time.

And if you start a hand-knitted adventure, my recommendation is to try working with 1 yarn. If you do not like it, if you decide it is not for you, then switch to 2 or more clothes. But at least you do not have to worry about using yarn 1. You know it is possible and you can do it, but working with more yarn is your conscious decision because you like it more. There is no regret. Do you understand what I mean?

In my case, the first points I made with strands 1 and 2. It was a piece of wild grass, so I worked the stalk with 2 strands, like branches and elements, small leaves. Later I mainly used 2 threads, even for long and short stitches , because I thought the effect was almost the same and in terms of time, working with 2 threads was much faster. However, after a while, I went back to sewing 1 thread because I lacked a "delicate" feeling.

It was easy for me to come back using a single thread because I had no predictions. I knew he was capable of that. And this is what I want for you too: to let you know that you are able to make good points . And then you can decide what you want best.

We seem to be at a point where some helpful tips are finally coming out. :)

By "take it easy" I mean ... in general, it is advisable to buy special hand -embroidered clothes . Knitted shop beds are also the best choice. Anyway ... it's expensive. Be very honest. And these are the things you do not want to lose, haha.

So ... I would not say it is a good option for beginners. But also, I would not recommend using something cheap. When working with poor quality materials / tools, this affects your hand embroidery experience.

Therefore my advice is to fight for the golden form. Inexpensive but inexpensive and expensive but high quality , there are cheap options for your sewing adventure . Cheap but fun to work with. I will call it as.

But at the same time, if you need training on any point or technique, you can use cheap pieces of cloth.

In hand embroidery tools you can find very clear items. The list is often quite long and fabrics + needles + yarn may not be the only thing you need. Surprise!

However, I think you should not put too much pressure on these things. Invest in your materials and equipment according to the level you are at, depending on your skills, style and goals.

For example, if you are taking the first step of hand embroidery, all you need is fabric, needle, thread, scissors (to cut the fabric and threads) and bracelets . That's almost everything. That would be enough for a long time.

I tell you more, I did not even have earrings when I left. I used a photo frame, spread it over the fabric and secured it with office clips. I still use it a few times, for exampleafter ironing ; You can see how it is at the end of the message.

And only then can you consider secondary equipment. If it hits my thumb (it doesn’t hit me, so I never bought one). A rug and a fabric cutter : If you want beautiful square fabric (by the way, if you use linen, you can cut it without scissors or a knife). If you have problems with the fibers, dive into the saliva . Yarn Adapter - I still do it, really, so I leave it up to you to research the benefits and see if you need them. Fabric Adhesives - OK, I can think of a few things you can use ( including creating a brooch ), but I personally have not purchased it yet because it is not yet needed.

I mean, if you want to buy all of these to feel more prepared, go ahead. All the people on hand are like the little rodent, hahaha. I like to invest in yarn and fabric, so I think twice if I need this or that tool :) And at the beginning of the embroidery journey, you will not need much.

I wasted one of my sewing jobs because I could not find any advice in my time. So when I started sewing a pattern, I broke it down and left it there until the stitching was over. This lasted several weeks.

As a result, the wrinkles were very visible, the marks of the frame which did not disappear even after washing and ironing several times. Thus the floor fabric “remembers” this attitude.

So always, when you stop sewing during the day, always remove the sewing work from the hoop. When you want to come back, connect. In each sewing session, the fabric should rest for a while.

Also, tie the bracelet ! If you follow the link, I will explain all the benefits of connecting the rings and I will also have a tutorial on how to do it without glue .

Health problems are something that is not talked about enough in the world of hand embroidery. It's a shame. In fact, I think it is an important issue that deserves special attention. But in short, think of hand embroidery as office work.

You sit in a chair / sofa for a few hours, moving only your arms and hands, your head is mostly in the same position and your eyes are tired.

So, like any office job, it is important to take care of your health. Make sure you occasionally lift and move your body, stretch your muscles a bit, including your neck, possibly jump, and do some sitting. You do not have to get out of the way, just move a little to keep the blood flowing properly.

Keep your position straight! Even before I embroidered, I struggled with my posture for a long time, but realized that after learning this craft, it got worse. So now that I take care of myself and my family, I also do push-ups, push-ups and other exercises that help me “memorize” my back position. Luckily it has improved and I am sitting now and I feel very sick and not comfortable when I come back.

You also need to take care of your eyes!
