What is It

Embroidery is an ornamentation of textiles and other materials with needlework for

decoration at home and for offices. It is an English word derived from the old
French embroiders meaning edge and border. Below are the tools and materials
used in embroidery and its uses and maintenance.

TOOLS
Gauge – used to measure short distance

Tape measure – used for measuring more than one foot

distance or materials.

Thimbles – made of metal or plastic, used to protect the

middle finger and push the needle while doing your
embroidery work. This comes in sizes 6 (small) to 12 (large)

Embroidery hoop/stiletto – made of wood, bone, metal or

plastic use to make eyelets in the fabric to be embroidered. It
is also used to keep the fabric stretched while embroidery
stitches are applied on the design.
It is advisable to place tissue paper over the inner hoop or
twist or wrap the inner hoop with a thin material to prevent
markings on the fabric.
Embroidery scissor – is small, sharp and pointed; good for
fine work like trimming scallops, clipping threads, and
cutting large eyelets.
Protect the blade by keeping them in sheath or cover and get
them sharpened occasionally.

5
Needle threader – is used for easier threading especially by
those sewers with poor eyesight.

Embroidery needle – is a short pieces of steel with a fine

point at one end and a little opening for eye at the other.
Needles should always have a fine tip so that they can easily
move in and out of the fabric. Do not use a needle which is
bent, without a point or rusty because this will affect the
regularity and neatness of work. Protect your needles by
storing them in a needle case.
a. Crewell – sizes 1-10 are sharp pointed, medium
length with large eyes for easy threading they are used for
most standard embroidery stitches.
b. Chenille – sizes 13-26 are also sharp-pointed
needles but they are thicker and longer and have larger eyes.
They are that types of needles appropriate for embroidery
that is worked with heavier yarns.
c. Tapestry needle – is from sizes 13-26. They are
similar in size to chenille but are blunt rather than sharp.
This makes them best for thread-counting embroidery and
for the needle point as well.
Water color brush – used for transferring the design using
pricking and pouncing methods.

Pin cushion a place for pins and needles.

Tracing paper – used for tracing designs.

Sewing box – used to keep together the embroidery tools

and materials

Bag – to keep work clean and fresh. Have a bag made from
washable material to hold your work.

MATERIALS
Fabric – referred to as cloth; are of great variety and they
differ in material, weight, weave, design, color and finish.
a. Common weave – includes most tightly woven
fabrics with a relatively smooth surface like linen, wool and
cotton. They are best used for articles with decorative

6
 Common Weave stitches.
b. Even weave – are intended for hard embroidery
since the number of threads per square inch is same for
both warp and woof.
Even weave c. Basket weave – is commonly used by beginners. It
supplies guidelines for cross stitch and smocking having an
evenly spaced pattern like gingham cloth and polka dots.
All fabrics should be prewashed before using them for
Basket weave
quilting or embroidery. The filler that is used in fabric can
cause havoc if it is not removed by washing prior to working
with the fabric.
Thread – is available in various types. They differ in terms of
texture, fiber content, number of strands and colors.
Threads are usually coded in numbers and color names.
They can be bought in skeins, balls or spools. The color of
the thread should suit the color and texture of the design
and the fabric to be embroiders.

PRECAUTIONS OBSERVED DURING EMBROIDERY

During and After Embroidery
1. Clip or tie your hair before you begin.
2. There should be a proper light to avoid your eyes any damage.
3. Do not bite the thread with your teeth, tear it with embroidery scissor.
4. Keep needles and pins in pin cushion, do not leave them in your workplace,
never put the pins and needles in your mouth and do not stick them in clothing.
5. The thread should not exceed 18”, otherwise it will result to thread dents
towards the end.
6. Using a knot at the beginning or end of embroidery is not allowed.
7. Use an appropriate number of needle based on embroidery being done.
8. Do not use hot iron over the part that is embroidered.
9. Do not expose in sunlight the embroidered fabric.

What is It

EMBROIDERY STITCHES
1. Back stitch – the most often used to outline a design.
This stitch can also form as the base line for other
embroidery stitches.

2. Bullion stitch – is single detached stitched that is used

for filling in a design area. Rows of bullion stitch may also
be used to outline a design. It is recommended that one
uses a needle with a small eye for ease in pulling.

3. Chain stitch – one of the more popular stitches used

for outlining. When worked in close rows, chain stitches
make good stitches for filling the design area.

4. Cross stitch – stitched formed by two crossing arms

and may be used for outlining as borders or to fill in an
entire area.
5. Feather stitch – stitch with a loop and stitches evenly
worked on both left and right sides of a design area.
6. Fish bone – a kind of filling stitch which is ideal for
making leaves of feathers. It requires the sewer to divide
the pattern into two and each side is filled alternately
giving it a plaited effect in the center, thus ideal to make
leaves or feathers.
7. French knot – a single detached stitched used
primarily to fill in the design area. It is a popular stitch
among embroiderers that it can be used to create the eyes
on an embroidered face or the center of a flower.

8. Herringbone stitch – a basic overlapping stitch popular

for its use in borders.
9. Lazy daisy chain stitch – also called detached chain
stitch, this stitch is work in a circle to resemble the petals
of a flower.
10. Looped stitched – A very decorative stitch and can be
experimented with threads of various colors over borders.
Close layers of this stitch can create wonderful effects on a
pattern.
11. Running stich – considered being the easiest stitch for
outlining.

11
 12. Satin stitch – a solid filling stitch that is used to cover
a design area with long, straight stitches worked very close
together.

13. Split – done using quite thick threads such as wool. It

is used as an outlining stitch or as a filling stitch.
14. Seed – also known as rice grain stitch. It uses simple
straight stitches in a single direction to fill in patterns. It
has shorter stitches above the fabric and longer stitches
on the reverse side. They remind of strawberry seeds,
probably, which inspired its name.
15. Stem stitch – basically an outline stitch, this stitch is
usually used for flower stems, and outlines. It can only be
used as filling, rows of stem stitch worked closely together
within a shape until it is filled completely.

What is It

EMBROIDERY STITCHES
The following are the procedure in making different embroidery stitches. Let us now
study on how to with those stitches.

1. Back Stitch
a. Bring the thread through A and take it in through
B. This creates one stitch.

b. Bring the thread through C and take it in through

B. This way, we are creating a stich by taking the
thread backward

16
 c. Bring the thread through D and take it in through
C. Continue this pattern to finish the design.

d. A finished line of back stitch will look like this.

2. Bullion stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and put the needle
through B at a desired length.

b. Now, bring the needle out through A again. Then,

wind the thread around the needle as shown. The
distance of wound thread should measure the same as
the distance between A and B. Too many or too less
wraps will spoil the stitch.
c. Then, hold the wrapped thread with your fingers
and pull the needle out with the other finger. Keep
pulling the needle completely in an upward direction
till the wraps lay on the fabric as shown above. Adjust
and straighten the wraps if required and put in the
needle back through B.

3. Chain stitch
a. Bring the needle through at the top of the traced
line

b. Hold the working thread down towards the left

with the thumb.

c. Insert the needle at the point where the thread has

just come through and bring it up on the traced line
about one-sixteenth of an inch / 1.5mm further along.

4. Cross-stitch

17
 a. Bring the needle out through A and take it
diagonally across to B. Bring it back again through C,
which lies vertically below A.

b. Now put the needle in through D, which lies

vertically above B. You have made a single cross.

5. Feather stitch
a. We begin by doing a long tailed daisy with the start
point on A. The loop is angled at about 45 degrees
since we are making a zig zag pattern. While making
the ‘tail’, before going in through the fabric, we wrap
the thread around the needle as shown in the
illustration.
b. Then, the needle is put in through C and brought
out through D, again at an angle of about 45 degrees.
Next , loop the thread around the needle as shown.
This is to make the next long tailed daisy.

c. Continue this procedure of making long tailed

daisies at 45 degree angles.

d. This illustration shows a portion of the feathered

chain stitch.

6. Fish bone
a. To begin with, bring the needle out through point A,
which is the top tip of line Y. Put it in through B, to
make a single straight stitch.

b. Now, bring the needle out from a point very close to

A on the the line X. Put it in through a point very close
to B on line Y. Again pull out the needle through a
point very close to A on line Z.

c. This procedure of putting in the needle through X

and Z alternatively will follow. Each time we will be
connecting X-Y and Y-Z.

18
 d. Make sure all the stitch points lie close to each
other to avoid any visible spaces.

e. Half way through, our leaf would look like this. You
can see the rib being formed.

f. Once finished, the filled leaf would look like this.

7. French knot
a. Bring the needle out through A.

b. Now, place the needle close to the fabric. Wrap the

thread around it twice, as shown.

c. Keep the longer end of the thread pulled with your

fingers while putting the needle back in a point just
close to A or even through A.

8. Herringbone stitch
a. Bring the needle out through the first stitch line at
A. Now, take the needle in through B, which lies
diagonally across A on the second stitch line. Then,
take the needle backwards out through C, which lies
near B.
b. Now, the same procedure will be worked on the first
stitch line. Take the needle diagonally across to D and
bring the needle backwards out through E.

c. Continue to make such crosses on both stitch lines

alternately. Make sure the diagonal stitches are
parallel to each other to bring out the best look.

19
9. Lazy daisy chain stitch
a. Bring the thread out through A. Put in the needle
near A and bring it out through the point B, but don’t
pull the needle out completely. Now, loop the thread
around the needle, like we would in chain stitch.

b. Pull out the needle out to tighten the loop. Put in

the needle just outside the chain created and that will
finish the lazy daisy stitch.

c. This stand alone stitch can be used freely to be a

part of any design. Since I have decided to make a
flower, I will proceed with making multiple lazy daisies
around the marked stitch line.

d. The completed flower made of multiple lazy daisies.

10. Looped stitch

a. Lay the foundation by doing a running stitch. Take
a contrasting colored thread and bring it out from
near the first running stitch

b. Start following the pekinese stitch technique. Take

the needle in through the second stitch and come out
through the first, making a loop.

c. Continue this action of ‘looping’ using the running

stitch foundation, as illustrated.

d. Finish up the pattern for it to look like this.

11. Running stitch

a. Bring the needle out at 1.

20
b. Insert needle down at 2

c. Continue steps a and b, working right to left, to

make several running stitches. Check that the
stitches on both and wrong sides of fabric are of equal
length. d.

12. Satin stitch

a. Bring the needle out through A and put it in
through B. So, that makes a stitch which covers a
small area between the stitch lines.

b. Now, bring the needle back through C, a point very

close to A. Continue this action over the two stitch
lines.

c. Once finished, the area is filled as shown . You will

be spending as much thread on the reverse side as
you do on the actual side of the fabric.

13. Split
a. Bring out the thread out through A and put it in
through B

b. Take the needle backwards to bring it out through

C. Note that C lies half way between A and B.

c. While bringing out the thread through C, take it in

between the thread, splitting it into two

d. Again, put the needle in through D to bring it out

through B, splitting the thread

e. Continue this procedure to finish the stitch. The

only thing to keep in mind is to split the thread when
bringing the needle out. In some way, it will give you a
visual feel of chain stitch

21
 f. The reverse of the fabric will give you a back stitch
pattern

14. Seed Stitch

a. Make rows of short running stitch as illustrated.
You need not do row after row, as long as the
strawberry seed pattern is more or less maintained.

b. Try not bend with the curves of the pattern. The

rows of running stitch should essentially be done in
straight lines.

15. Stem Stitch

a. Bring out the thread through A and take it in
through B. Take the needle backwards and bring the
thread out through C. Make sure the point C lies over
the stitch A-B.

b. You need to note that the point C lies about half

way through A and B. Also note that C lies on top of
the stitch A-B. So, all the subsequent stitch points
will lie on top their previous stitch.

c. Take the needle in through D. Try to mark D in

such a way that the point B will lie half way through
C-D. Bring the needle out through B.

d. So, the pattern of two stitches of the stem stitch

will be as shown above.
