Fashionable Embroider Designs: How to Stitch Them Ourselves?

Embroidery has become an important part in today's fashion. Wide variety of embroidery designs exists which can be seen on nearly every wearable cloth in a man's wardrobe: T-shirts, trousers, garments. It also takes on a large number of household materials: bed-cloths, counterpanes, draperies etc. Various kinds of embroidery designs can be found on the Internet. There exists a basic systematisation of this diversity:embroider designs can be qualified into four types. The first one is the most exploited by embroidery lovers: the clothing embroidery design. It includes embroidery designs on fashion clothes, on man's wear, on children's clothes, on women's dresses or suits. This type of design can be easily purchased either on the Internet , or from the ordinary embroidery shops. What makes them more attractive is that they can be produced by the person using computerized machines or software- first you pick up the digitized design you'd like to stitch, download it and the machine stitches it in no time. The second type is the logo embroidery designs, which can be sewn onto T-shirts, sweatshirts and other garments. They can also be ordered on the Internet. The special thing is that most of them are done by professional embroiderers. Great care is taken about their production: their size, shape, texts and outlines are artfully accomplished. The third kind of embroidery designs is the household designs. It is developed for decoration of household materials, such as draperies, carpets, mats, bedspreads, and so on. They also are produced by professionals, most of all because of their great size. And last come the embroidery designs on any other materials and general products: such as embroidery on baseball caps, on shoes, gloves, hats, on different personal belongings- almost everything they can be sewn onto. This type can also be done by stitching software or ordered on the Internet. Whatever embroidery design you pick up, you have to be aware how to make it. Part of the pleasure of having a pretty embroidery on your clothes is to have done it on your own. That is why, many people start using sewing machines, which help them develop their embroidery skills. But there are few things to be considered when using a machine. First of all, choose carefully the colours of the threads which you use, and make sure you have put threads enough to finish the whole embroidery design. After doing this, you'd better start stitching your embroidery design NOT on the original cloth, but on a plain fabric to set the size, shape and outlines of your design. And remember to hoop firmly the cloth on which you have started, otherwise you may interrupt the stitching process. Even if clutching strictly on these rules, there are several things which may as well go wrong. The first thing is what to do with the embroidery design when it is ready. People often fuss up when it comes to sewing the design onto the original cloth. Remember: you need to be creative! Any place can be appropriate for a design to put on, so don't stick just with the middle of the cloth. For example, try sewing the design on the back of the blouse, or on the left button corner. Asymmetry can be highly provocative and fashionable. Many novices are confused when trying to make a logo. Bear in mind that logos demand smaller fonts of texts (Arial and Verdana would be most suitable as fonts ), and the thinnest possible outline. Otherwise, you risk ruining the effect of the discreet showing up of your logo. Black bobbin thread or the same color thread should be used as the top when making texts on dark fabric. Smaller objects don't need to be outlined as it would make no difference in the final results. One of the priorities of the smaller designs is that they are easy to make: if you are a new-beginner, you'd better start with making small designs, the width of 3-4.5 inches. Not having to worry about greater objects will put you at ease with the machine itself and would help you get accustomed to the work. Don't panic when something gets wrong: finish the stitches and try to edit it afterwards. Another big point to be made here is the support of the sewing machine: you have to change the needle frequently, also when finishing a certain design. Bearing these tips in mind, you may start your own unique design project The final advice I can give you is enjoy your work and create something really beautiful!
