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.

The top layer is typically pieced together and the bottom is one solid layer. Process of stitching together two layers of fabric, usually with a soft, thick substance placed between them. The layer of wool, cotton, or other stuffing provides insulation; the stitching keeps the stuffing evenly distributed and also provides opportunity for artistic expression. Quilting has long been used for clothing in many parts of the world, especially Quilting in the Far and Middle East and the Muslim regions of Africa. It reached its fullest development in the U.S., where it was at first popularly used for petticoats and comforters.

  • Advanced Silk Shading
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK 2019-2020 ACADEMIC YEAR DIPLOMA ADVANCED SILK SHADING Traditionally worked with silk thread on silk or linen fabric, but now more usually worked in stranded cotton thread. Silk is still the most usual background fabric but a variety of other fabrics may be used. 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. Please note: All preparatory work (e.g. outlines, drawings, stitch plans, original source material) MUST be handed in for assessment or the work will not be marked. DESIGN Try to come with some ideas for a design and bring along some photographs. The photograph must be printed a similar size to the embroidery size otherwise it is very difficult to work. It is essential to work from a crisp, clear, well-focused photograph where you can see the individual colours and changes from dark to light. Illustrations can sometimes be harder to follow, and you should be wary of images from the Internet, which are often poor quality and may not print sufficiently well. However there are many places online from which you can purchase high quality images. The tutor will be able to make suggestions and help you bring your ideas together.

The project was designed to have traditional and cultural significance, so as to provide a new dimension to local garment decorating processes. The results of the study revealed a wide possibility of creating and fashioning various simple hand woven structures of traditional significance into the production of garments. This provides innovative ways of actualizing new creative ideas for the progress of the local industry. The experiment revealed that with careful blending of yarns of various types, colos and sizes, very attractive and significant results can be achieved making it appropriate for use in garment decoration. The basic challenges encountered involved the variations in yarn sizes used, the long floats associated with some weave and embroidery styles and the limitations associated with the weave frame used for the project. Keywords: Hand Embroidery, Weaving, Garments. I. INTRODUCTION Embroidery was an important art in the Medieval Islamic world.

  • Advanced Diploma Academic Year Fine Whitework
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK 2019-2020 ADVANCED DIPLOMA ACADEMIC YEAR FINE WHITEWORK ‘Whitework’ encompasses a diverse range of techniques, whose execution spans history from earliest times to the present day, linked by the common theme of neutral threads worked on a neutral ground. The term ‘fine whitework’ can be used to refer to any form of whitework embroidery which has been executed on a fine scale. However, at the RSN, the term refers to a technique which facilitates combining the principal forms of fine scale whitework within one piece of work. This fundamentally allows exploitation of the full potential of the whitework ‘tonal scale’ from solid, sculptural techniques, through to the most translucent or open. AIM – to design and work fine whitework embroidery encompassing key techniques of the whitework tonal scale from solid to open work on one piece of fabric. A fine whitework embroidery demonstrating effectiveness of design for purpose and a high level of skill in execution of the stitches. MATERIALS: The ground cloth is a linen batiste or cambric. Two weights are available to select from: fine and very fine. The necessity to count the linen threads for this work should determine this choice. Two layers of linen will be used in parts of the design, one in others. A layer of net will also be sandwiched between the layers. A choice of fine, nylon conservation net, or heavier cotton bobbinet can be made, again according to ability to count the segments of the net. Threads. The following may be used: white stranded cotton, white cotton à broder (various sizes), white cotton perlé (finer sizes only), DMC floche à broder (for padding only, unless all other threads used are also DMC), Brok Egyptian Cotton lace threads in a range of sizes, Belgian ‘Egyptian Cotton’ lace threads in a range of sizes.
