Embroidery as a decorative process in Art has played principal roles in entrepreneurship development. Hence, this paper made a critical analysis of the forms, content and significant of embroidery in art, the thread colours, fabric motifs and pattern suitable for a successful embroidery design would also be considered. The general conclusion is that if embroidery is properly done, it would increase the embroiderers sense of creativity in our societal growth and the interested individual should be encourage to learn the craft so that the tradition will remain forever. Embroidery is an interesting stitching technique by which coloured threads, generally of silk or wool are used with a special needle to make a variety of stitches, and it is used to make an attractive design on garment, wall hanging or upholstery pieces. In Nigeria today, embroidery clothing are used far and wide and its unique feature and elegance remain the ability to trill and appeal to the people’s fervent love for it whereby the artisan considered different textile materials such as guinea brocade, damask and bringing out the significance of thread with which it is worked.

Use a “construction quality” thread on the “topside” of your machine, as the needle tension will usually be increased. Think of the top thread as literally pulling the “bobbin yarn” into place to form the stitch pattern. 7. Bobbins can be wound by hand or by machine. Whenever possible, wind the bobbin using the bobbin winder mechanism on the machine. This will properly tension the “bobbin yarn” for a better stitch quality. 8. Bobbinwork can be sewn with the Feed dogs up or down. If stitching freemotion, a layer of additional stabilizer or the use of a machine embroidery hoop may be necessary. 9.

  • Sewing Machine Needle Tips
    Quilters Corner 518 West State Street Ithaca, New York 14850 Authorized PFAFF & Baby Lock sewing machine dealer 607-266-0850 www.e-quilterscorner.com Sewing Machine Needle Tips Did you know that you should change your machine needle every 6-8 hours of sewing? It's true! Changing your needle is one of the best preventative machine maintenance tasks you can do. You want the tip of the needle to be super sharp to go through your fabric without catching the threads. As you stitch, the tip of your needle will get microscopic nicks. The longer you sew on that same old needle, the more your pretty stitches will start to deteriorate. Why spend time sewing crummy stitches? Don't forget while changing your needle to take off your needle plate and brush your machine's teeth (clean around and in between the feed dogs, etc). If you don't do this, eventually you'll have dense pads of lint collecting and building up and it will effect how your fabric feeds. You should also clean around your bobbin area every time you change your bobbin. Just a quick swipe with a little brush will do the trick. What needle should you use? Quilting Needles are made especially for piecing and machine quilting. The special tapered design allows for easier fabric penetra- tion and helps eliminate skipped stitches. If you are having trouble burying your threads while quilting, try a single hole plate. The smaller hole in the plate helps keep the fabric from pulling through to the bobbin and the bobbin thread from pulling to the top.
