Embroidery Is A Craft For All Seasons

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 01:07:00 -0500

Perhaps the most important function of the craft of embroidery work today is to provide relaxation and the opportunity to exercise one's imagination. The result, however, should also be attractive and durable. The materials and stitches must therefore be wisely chosen, and the work itself carefully prepared and carried out.The fabric and the threads must be of good quality and compatible. The thread must be able to slip easily through the cloth, and be able to form the texture the crafter has in mind. The needle must be of the right size for the fabric and thread to be used.For traced embroidery, use a sewing needle or a darning needle with a point. A tapestry needle, without a point, is better for canvas or counted thread work on coarser material. A needle very slightly coarser than a double thickness of the thread to be used in it will be the easiest to work with.Scissors are important for this craft. They should be small, sharp, and pointed.
