Needlepainting tips part 10: secret behind getting the rows right

Now, it's not just a "puzzle" ... but it's never on the agenda that I see this error in newcomers.


Congratulations on your 10 color needle tips . Wow, who would have thought that there are so many interesting things in the field of hand embroidery?

But let me tell you - I have more topics. They're just waiting their turn, yeah.

I think today's topic is very important to understand if you want to master the art of needle painting, especially if you want to work on other embroidery projects, work according to the instructions. So, even if the subject is a little confusing, invent it with me. I hope you will have your opinion at the end of the article. And if it's still confusing, you can always ask questions in the comments or via direct message .


Usually when you take a pattern, whether it's someone else's design or your own, there are long and short rows of dots, markers in which the colors are placed. These traces are transferred to the fabric with the pattern, and if they are not on the pattern, you can add a pencil yourself to facilitate your work. You follow these marks when adding color to your embroidery design. Is it true?

Yes, there is a mistake beginners usually make.

The reason is that experienced seamstresses do not talk about it very often. So, of course, if there is no source to find out these little details, then the only way to get them is through your own trial and failure.

But today we are going to talk about the poster.

Wrong


Let's look at the error first.

In fact, calling it "wrong" is probably too powerful in terms of word choice. There is nothing wrong with that. This is often the smartest way to work with long and short stitches when looking at sewing encyclopedia patterns. The diagrams don't say much...

1. So we have a petal that needs to be stuffed with long and short dots. There are some color changes in the four rows, you can see the markings inside each horse:. The logical first step for beginners here is to work on the first row of long and short stitches, which will end where the mark goes. Is the logic correct?

2. Also, we forget that when we sew the second row, we sew the seams that make up the first row. This means that the bottom of the first line will be hidden.

3, 4. Like the other lines. Each row coincides with the previous row, so the bottom of the previous row remains under the new seams.

What brings results?

You can compare how the lines in the image above should look and how they actually appear. The top row was too short as we didn't think half would be hidden. This resulted in the bottom row being longer than it should be.

If you look closely at the drawing on the right եք trace with a pencil, you will see that the third row begins where the second should begin, and the fourth begins where the third should begin. The ranks rose a step.

There are situations that are not really critical. However, if you want your project closer to someone else's original work or whatever else you have in mind, you need to fix something simple.

The secret:

1. The whole big puzzle is actually very simple. Simply complete the loops of each row to the middle of the next row. As you can see in this picture, the guide seam ends in the middle of the next row.

2. After finishing the whole first row, you can see that all my rings are done at about the same level. Now look at the next row of guide seams, which also ends in the middle of the next row.

3. The seams of the second row appear to run from different places in the first row, some are inside, some are higher. This version shows what a "long-short" stitch is and how it makes blending colors easier. You can finish pictures with different shapes, some shorter, some longer. But I would prefer to finish them all at about the same level.

4. Thus, the third և fourth rows are processed with the same egg.
