Tying refers to the technique of using thread, Comforters yarn or ribbon to pass through all three layers of the comforter at reqular intervals. These "ties" hold the layers together during use and especially when the comforter is washed.

For Advanced Silk Shading you may work EITHER an animal, bird, fish or reptile; OR a tapestry shaded human figure. SILK SHADED ANIMAL OR BIRD AIM – To demonstrate an advanced level of technical skill by working a realistic and naturally shaded embroidery of an animal, fish, reptile or bird using Long and Short Stitch with one strand of stranded cotton (or fine silk thread). To utilise shading and stitch direction to accurately depict musculature, fur, scales and clearly defined feathers as appropriate.

  • Hardanger Embroidery
    Sons of Norway Information Banks #205: hardanger embroidery IN THIS INFORMATION BANK Introduction |01 Origins |01 The Development of a Tradition |01 Today |02 Learning More |02 IntroductIon Hardanger embroidery or hardangersøm is a traditional form of decorative Norwegian needlework. Named for the Hardanger district of Norway where it was developed, hardangersøm has become so popular over the years that it has been adopted by craftspeople from all over the country and beyond. What sets hardangersøm apart is the sheer variety of stitches and techniques it encompasses. The vast range of techniques one must master make it a demanding skill to learn, but also empower artisans to continue creating an infinite array of new designs. Perhaps that’s why after more than three centuries, hardangersøm continues to inspire stitchers all over the world. orIgIns Although hardangersøm is distinctively Norwegian, its origins can be traced through many other countries. The type of embroidery that would eventually develop into hardangersøm is thought to have come to Europe from the Middle East or Persia during the Renaissance. By the 1600s the Italians had developed their own style of embroidery called reticella that soon became popular and spread throughout the continent and eventually to Norway. The earliest recognizable hardangersøm pieces date from the 1700s. Around the same time, many other regions of Norway began to develop their own distinctive styles of embroidery and other textile crafts. During the 1800s, when Norway was stirred by a great national romantic movement, people from all over the country were united in a new enthusiasm for traditional folk culture.

  • Ann's Orchard Needlework
    Ann’s Orchard Needlework Tea Towel to Embroidered Cushion! with Bobble Edging TaDah! A little surface embroidery,! fold in half and stitch cushion! then crochet a bobble edging Shortly before Christmas I came across this fabulous tea towel designed by Holly Fream for Anthropologie ! and decided it was far too good for drying dishes and would make a lovely pug themed cushion for my ! daughter. So, if a similar tea towel catches your eye and you fancy transforming it read on…….. 1. Pop your tea towel in an embroidery hoop! Choose an area of the printed design you would like to embroider – you can do as much or as little as you ! like – and fit an embroidery hoop over the area to keep the fabric taut, helping to keep your stitches even. 2. Embroider the design! Use stranded embroidery cotton and a variety of stitches to add texture and shading to the printed image. For the collie and cat I simply used satin stitches and beads to enhance the eyes. For the pug I use seed ! stitches to give texture to the fur, chain stitch and French knots on the ears, satin stitch and jet black beads ! for the eyes and a row of French stitches around the outline. Threads: Pug – Charcoal Anchor 236, Grey Anchor 398, Pink DMC 3778 Cat – Lime Green Anchor 734 3. Stitch the cushion! Remove the outer stitching of the tea towel and open out the edge seams. Fold the tea towel in half with! right sides together. Stitch a seam approximately 1cm from the edge around the entire cushion leaving ! an opening of approximately 10cm on one side.
