20 How the value of embroidered product can be increased?

Ans. The value of embroidered product can be increased by improving the quality of embroidery in the following ways:

a) Print a template(s) of your embroidery design so you plan the embroidery layout. Place it on the item (garment, home décor, craft or quilt) and critique its placement and size.

b) Build a test stash- Keep a test polo T-shirt, stretchy T-shirt, terry cloth towel and common items that you embroider on all the time in your test stash. Use this resource when testing a design for a final project. Fill every available inch with test designs then toss it when there’s no more than you will need so you have material to use for a test stitch-out. So many problems can be avoided by stitching a test of the design with the fabric, stabilizer and thread combo that you will be using for the final project.                   

c) Press the fabric – Use starch and steam to get the fabric to behave. Press the stabilizer if it’s wrinkled so it will lay flat for the final project.

d) Hoop on a flat, sturdy surface, not on your lap- Ironing boards work in a pinch, but best results are achieved when hooping on a solid surface such as cutting table and mat. Use the lines on the mat to square the fabric in the hoop.

e) Select the right hoop for the job- The best hold is achieved with the smallest hoop for the design. For instance, a 4” × 4” hoop is the best choice for a 2 ½” × 3” design.

f) Insert a fresh needle when starting a new embroidery project.

             

21 What is the impact of good quality fabric, thread and needles on embroidery?

Ans. The quality of embroidery depends not only on the workmanship but also the quality of the fabric, threads, the intricacy of the design and closeness of the stitches and colour combinations. Almost all types of fabric can be used for hand embroidery. However, the commonly used fabrics for hand embroidery are linen, satin, cotton, silk, crepes, georgette, chiffon, velvet, tricot, polyester, etc.

The selection of the size of the needle is done based on the weight or thickness of the material, the required fineness of the embroidered and the kind of thread to be used, e.g., if silk thread is being used on chiffon or silk-like soft material, a very fine and high numbered needle would be required. 

Like the selection of fabric, needle and style of design, it is important to learn about the selection of thread used for embroidering a particular design. The factors to keep in mind while selecting a thread are colour, texture, length, thickness and suitability to the final effect of the embroidery pattern.

Threads are one of the basic materials needed for embroidery. The most commonly used threads are stranded cotton threads. These threads have mostly six separate strands which can be used together, or separated and used singly or in groups. The benefit of stranded cotton thread is that the strands can be separated and recombined in any number to achieve differing thickness and effects. Sometimes, different brands offer different numbers to the thread. The embroiderer can select the threads according to his/her requirements. Wonderful effects can be achieved by using different threads, like pearl cotton, silk threads, metallic thread, fine wool tread and viscose rayon thread- the list is endless.
