    You will also understand how important it is to use high-quality embroidery when you take into account how many hours you will be spending on a needlework job.

    You can discover the many applications for the amazing Eri silk embroidery threads in this blog.

    Let me tell you a little bit about special silk embroidery threads before we go into the specifics of how embroidery threads are used.

    Our naturally hand-dyed embroidery thread acts like Perle cotton, is beautifully textured, and is securely twisted. This two-ply thread gives your item a textured appearance.

    Eleven colors of our exclusive Eri silk embroidery thread set are hand-dyed with plant-based dyes.

    These lovely S-twisted embroidery threads look amazing on light, thin or rustic middleweight fabrics.

    Your hand embroidery patterns will have a beautiful, consistent finish when you use our 2-ply Eri silk embroidery threads. These silk threads can be used for needlepoint, cross stitch, freestyle stitching, and other crafts.

    Typically, one can see hand embroidered designs on hats, jackets, blankets, dress shirts, jeans, dresses, stockings, and golf shirts. Occasionally, one might find them on a piece of art intended to be hung on the wall.

    Without further ado, allow me to provide the following applications for embroidery threads:

    1. Stitching Cross

    Cross-stitching can be done with embroidery threads. Cross-stitch is a popular counted thread embroidery technique that uses X-shaped stitches in a raster-like, tiled pattern to create an image.

    Among contemporary makers and crafters, cross stitch embroidery is making a comeback. Cross-stitching is a simple craft to learn, and this beginner’s instructions will get you started right away.

    2. Thread Embroidery Counted

    Counted-thread Any hand embroidery pattern in which the needle is inserted into the fabric after the embroidery threads have been counted is considered embroidery. In order to create a symmetrical image, a balanced fabric—one in which the warp and weft are of the same size—is typically utilized.

    3. Needlepoint

    Needlepoint is a sort of canvas work that involves stitching embroidered thread through an open, stiff canvas using a numbered thread technique.

    Traditionally, the canvas is entirely covered in needlepoint stitching motifs. While there are many other stitches that may be worked in needlepoint, many designs merely use a basic tent stitch and rely on color changes in the embroidery threads to create the design. Canvas work’s oldest technique is needlepoint embroidery.

    4. Punch Embroidery

    Rug hooking and punch needle embroidery are two similar types of embroidery. The punch needle keeps the embroidery needle on the surface and presses the silk embroidered threads or yarn into the fabric rather than sewing through it.

    5. Quilting

    Hand Quilting binds the layer together by hand-sewing a running stitch across the entire piece of fabric or area to be quilted with an embroidery thread and needle.

    To hold the item you’re quilting on your lap, you can use a quilting hoop.

    6. Patchwork

    Hand embroidery threads can be used for a variety of patchwork crafts, such as pillow covers, wall hangings, purses, rugs, and warm jackets. Embroidery threads are used by textile artists for any type of embroidery patchwork.

    7. Sashiko

    The tiny embroidered stitches employed in this type of needlework are referred to as “little stabs” or Sashiko.

    Sashiko is a type of Japanese folk needlework design in which a patterned background is created using the fundamental running stitch.

    Decorative and repeating hand embroidery patterns are frequently created with sashiko embroidery. It can be used for strictly decorative purposes, reinforcing wear areas or using patches to fix torn or worn portions of the fabric.

    8. Shisha embroidery

    Shisha Embroidery Pattern: This is a method of using embroidery threads to sew a border around tiny metal or glass objects and secure them to the fabric.

    States like Bihar, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Manipur, where each state has specialized in particular mirror work products, are typical places to find shisha, or mirror embroidery patterns.

    9. The Kantha Embroidery

    The traditional West Bengali embroidery style known as “Kantha” is an important representation of the ability and aptitude of Bengali rural women.

    This thread embroidery style is typically employed for sarees, dhotis, and quilts, but it has developed over time and become an essential part of Indian fashion.

    10. Bead Embroidery

    Bead Embroidery Design is a style of beadwork in which beads are sown into a surface of cloth, suede, or leather using an embroidery needle and thread. Bead embroidery is an ornament that isn’t necessary for the construction of a material. Bead embroidery work is distinct from bead weaving, bead crocheting, and bead knitting in this regard.

    11. Applique Embroidery

    Using a sewing machine or by hand, applique embroidery design creates a new pattern by layering fabric over the background material. All you have to do is sew the background material around the edges once you are happy with how the applique is positioned.

    Adhesive patches can be used to adorn wooden picture frames or to create extremely lovely tabletops. Applique embroidery can also be used to decorate other ornamental objects for your home. They can also make bright and entertaining gifts for both adults and children.

    I hope this gives you a basic understanding of how to create different embroidery thread designs and how to use Eri silk embroidery threads.

  • Machine Embroidery: Combining Design and Fabric

    Selecting a fantastic pattern, inserting the design card into your machine, hoopsing your fabric, and pressing a button might be all it takes to machine embroider. However, there’s a lot more you need know if your aim is to create exquisite clothing with supple, delicate embroidery.

    Read More: Machine embroidery design

    Any type of fabric, including silks and delicate wools, may be machine-embroidered. A machine that is well-tuned and set at the appropriate needle and bobbin tensions, a well-prepared and positioned design, the right needle and thread for the job, and a thorough understanding of the fabric you’re embroidering so that it’s properly hooped and stabilized all work together to produce exquisite embroidery that is well suited to the fabric, doesn’t pucker, and changes the drape of the fabric. I’ll go over these basics, but I really want to focus on how to pick patterns and materials that work well together and offer advice when they don’t.

    What makes a good embroidery design?

    A good design is more than just its subject matter and aesthetics. A well-digitized pattern consists of satin and fill stitches, underlay stitches if needed, and a strong framework of stitches creating its outside edge. To reduce the amount of thread clipping required, the design should include a carefully thought-out sewing sequence with minimal jump stitches from one place to another. Additionally, it has to be worn with a fabric that complements it and brings out its greatest features.

    You can consider the properties of the cloth the pattern will be sewed on if you digitize your own designs or have them custom-digitized. However, it is your responsibility to match the design with the fabric whether using stock patterns from independent design firms, the Internet, or designs included with your machine.

    Think about the weave and weight of the cloth.

    It’s critical to realize that, even with the right stabilizer, not every pattern should be applied to every kind of cloth. For instance, a heavily embroidered pattern may strain knits and lightweight, loosely woven textiles, perhaps leading to the weave coming apart. Dense patterns can work well on sturdy, medium- to heavyweight woven fabrics, but they could be too rigid for a flowing fabric.

    With a fabric that is woven more smoothly, the same design stitches out neatly.

    For a thick pile fabric, like fleece or terry cloth, a tiny, less densely stitched pattern would not work well since the coverage might be insufficient and the design would be lost. The best fabric for this kind of pattern is one with a smooth surface and a basic weave. In order to prevent the pile from showing through the threads, a deep pile fabric may benefit from a pattern with noticeable underlay stitches. On the other hand, it could be too thick for a drapey or soft knit weave.

    Think on the color of the cloth and how you want to utilize it, in addition to its weight and weave. Pastel needlework will likely be obscured by bold colors or patterns; a huge, dense flower design on silk velvet, for example, would look great on a pillow cover but seem painfully rigid on a long, flowing skirt. Sometimes the best course of action is to select a different design; other times, you may modify the existing design to make it work.

    Do your design and fabric go together?

    A good combination of fabric and design requires careful consideration of the fabric’s properties, intended usage, and design elements. Consider the following queries, and create test samples at all times:

    Will the stitch density of the pattern alter the fabric’s hand? If yes, how does this affect your project?

    What effects will the color, weight, and texture of the cloth have on the design?

    Can applying a backing or topping help you achieve better results?

    If you only switch out the thread colors, would the fabric and pattern still work together?

    Is it possible to modify the design to make it function, or is selecting a new design the better option?

    Fabric stabilization: backings and toppings

    You must hoop knits and wovens smoothly, without stretching, and with neutral tension in order to stitch out a design. Velvet is an exception, which I’ll talk about shortly. However, for four-way stretch Lycra knits, they must be stretched in the hoop in the same direction and to the same extent as they would stretch on the body when worn (and backed with a cutaway stabilizer). If not, the garment will not flex against the body, putting excessive strain on the fabric and design.
