In this lesson, you will learn the different tools and materials used in embroidery. But
before you proceed to the tools and materials, you need to know first what
embroidery is and its development.
Development of Philippine Embroidery
Embroidery is the ornamentation of textiles and other items with needle work not
only for home use and decoration but also for offices. The term embroidery is an
English word derived from ancient French embroidery, meaning border and edge.
The Netherlanders brought embroidery into the Orient in the 15th century. It was
purchased in the Philippines by that Spaniards where it has made a marvelous
growth, and the work done rivals the best work done in Switzerland, a country noted
for its exquisite embroidery.
During the Middle Ages, the embroidery achieved its highest development.
During their leisure time, the nuns in the convents were the first to create articles
with embroidery work. It has become so popular since then that women have started
to enjoy it and started creating their own design.
Embroideries were done by hand in the beginning, but with the advent of
technology and the invention sewing machine, people are now engaged in the
embroidery work due to the industry’s rapid growth, elegance of designs, and
fineness of workmanship. Embroidery work is best accomplished when using correct
tools and materials. Tools are applied to the small or useful sewing devices while
materials the ones consumed while finishing a project.
Below are the tools and materials use in Embroidery, its uses and maintenance.

wider eyes. It is the style of needle
appropriate for embroidery that is worked
with heavier yarns.
c. Tapestry needle (Sizes 13-26)- is a
needle similar in size to chenille but blunt

tightest woven fabrics with a smooth surface,
such as linen, wool and cotton.
b. Even-weave- is intended for
hardanger embroidery where the threads are
the same for warp and woof per square inch.
c. Basket weave- ramie linen is
commonly used by beginners. It offers
instructions for cross-stitching and smocking
having a pattern that is equally spaced like
gingham fabric and polka dots.
2. Thread- has various types that differ in texture, color,
number of strands and fiber content. Threads are
normally coded in numbers and in colors.
Precautions to be Taken in Performing Embroidery
A) During and After Embroidering:
 Clip or tie your hair before you begin.
 The light should fall from the left side or from the front onto the working surface.
 Do not bite/cut the thread with your teeth nor tear it with your hands when
working.
 Keep the needles and the pins at a certain place (a special box, cushion,
etc.). Do not leave them in the workplace, never put the needles and the pins
in your mouth, and do not stick them in the clothing.
 Keep the needle, pins and other tools and materials after working.
 The embroidery hoop/stiletto should be fitted properly and should resemble a
drum before starting the embroidery.

Are you familiar with these stitches? Where you can use them?
What is It
Learning all the different embroidery stitches is not as hard as you think.
There are various embroidery stitches which you can choose from when you do
embroidery work. For you to learn more skill on this craft, below are the illustrations
of embroidery stitches which will help and guide you as you enjoy working on this
craft.
Embroidery Stitches
1. Back Stitch -is used to outline a design and base line of the other
embroidery stitches.
a. Bring the thread through A and take it in through B. This creates one stitch.
b. Bring the thread through C and take it in through B. This way, we are
creating a stich by taking the thread backward
c. Bring the thread through D and take it in through C. Continue this pattern
to finish the design.
d. A finished line of back stitch will look like this.
2. Bullion stitch- is a single detached stitch used for filling in the design area.
Rows of bullion stitches may also be used to outline the pattern. It is
recommended that a small eye needle shall be used for ease of pulling.
a. Bring the needle out through A and put the needle through B at a desired
length.
b. Now, bring the needle out through A again. Then, wind the thread around
the needle as shown. The distance of wound thread should measure the
same as the distance between A and B. Too many or too less wraps will spoil
the stitch.
c. Then, hold the wrapped thread with your fingers and pull the needle out
with the other finger. Keep pulling the needle completely in an upward
direction till the wraps lay on the fabric as shown above. Adjust and
straighten the wraps if required and put in the needle back through B.
3. Chain stitch- one of the more popular stitches used for outlining. When
worked in close rows, it makes good stitches for filling the design area.
a. Bring the needle through the top of the traced line.
b. Hold the working thread down towards the left with the thumb.
c. Insert the needle at the point where the thread has just come through and
bring it up on the traced line about one-sixteenth of an inch / 1.5mm
further along.
4. Cross-stitch- a stitch formed by two crossing arms and may be used for
outlining, as borders or to fill in an entire area.
a. Bring the needle out through A and take it diagonally across to B. Bring it
back again through C which lies vertically below A.
b. Now put the needle in through D, which lies vertically above B. You have
made a single cross.
5. Feather stitch- a stitch with a loop and stitches evenly worked on both left
and right sides of a design area.
a. We begin by doing a long-tailed daisy with the start point on A. The loop is
angled at about 45 degrees since we are making a zig zag pattern. While
making the ‘tail’, before going in through the fabric, we wrap the thread
around the needle as shown in the illustration.
b. Then, the needle is put in through C and brought out through D again at
45- degree angle. Next , loop the thread around the needle as shown.
This is to make the next long tailed daisy.
c. Continue this procedure in making long tailed daisies at 45-degree angles.
d. This illustration shows a portion of feathered chain stitch.
6. Fish Bone- a kind of filling stitch that is ideal for making leaves or feathers. It
requires us to divide the pattern into two and each side is filled alternately
giving it a plaited effect in the center and thus ideal to make leaves or
feathers.
a. To begin with, bring the needle out through point A, which is the top tip of
line Y. Put it in through B, to make a single straight stitch.
b. Now, bring the needle out from a point very close to A on the line X. Put
it in through a point very close to B on line Y. Again, pull out the needle
through a point very close to A on line Z.
c. This procedure of putting in the needle through X and Z alternatively will
follow. Each time we will be connecting X-Y and Y-Z.
d. Make sure all the stitch points lie close to each other to avoid any visible
spaces.
e. Halfway through, our leaf would look like this. You can see the rib being
formed.
f. Once it is done, the filled leaf would look like this.
7. French knot- a single detached stitch used primarily to fill in a design area. It
is a popular stitch among embroiderers in that can be used to create the eyes
on an embroidered face or the center of a flower.
a. Bring the needle out through A.
b. Now, place the needle close to the fabric. Wrap the thread around it twice
as shown.
c. Keep the longer end of the thread pulled with your fingers while putting the
needle back in a point just close to A or even through A.
8. Herringbone stitch- a basic overlapping stitch popular for its use in borders.
a. Bring the needle out through the first stitch line at A. Now, take the
needle in through B which lies diagonally across A on the second stitch
line. Then, take the needle backward out through C which lies near B.
b. Now, the same procedure will be worked on the first stitch line. Take the
needle diagonally across to D and bring the needle backwards out
through E.
c. Continue to make such crosses on both stitch lines alternately. Make
sure the diagonal stitches are parallel to each other to bring out the best
look.
9. Lazy daisy chain stitch- also called detached chain stitch. This stitch is
worked in a circle to resemble the petals of a flower.
a. Bring the thread out through A. Put in the needle near A and bring it out
through the point B, but do not pull the needle out completely. Now, loop
the thread around the needle like we do in chain stitch.
b. Pull out the needle out to tighten the loop. Put in the needle just outside
the chain created and that will finish the lazy daisy stitch.
c. This stand-alone stitch can be used freely to be part of any design. Since I
have decided to make a flower, I will proceed with making multiple lazy
daisies around the marked stitch line.
d. The completed flower made of multiple lazy daisies.
10. Looped stitch- a very decorative stitch and can be experimented with
threads for various colors over borders. Close layers of this stitch can create
wonderful effects to a pattern.
a. Lay the foundation by doing a running stitch. Take a contrasting-colored
thread and bring it out from near the first running stitch
b. Start following the pekinese stitch technique. Take the needle in through
the second stitch and come out through the first to make a loop.
c. Continue this step of ‘looping’ using the running stitch foundation as
illustrated.
d. Finish up the pattern for it to look like this.
11. Running stitch- considered being the easiest stitch for outlining. It is perfect
to make dashed outlines, and it is used to give a smoother finish.
a. Bring the needle out at 1.
b. Insert needle down at 2
c. Continue steps a and b, working right to left, to make several running
stitches. Check if the stitches on both and wrong sides of fabric are of equal
length.
12. Satin stitch- a solid filling stitch that is used to cover a design area with long,
straight stitches worked very close together.
a. Bring the needle out through A and put it in through B. That makes a stitch
that covers a small area between the stitch lines.
b. Now, bring the needle back through C, a point very close to A. Continue
this action over the two stitch lines.
c. Once finished, the area is filled as shown . You will be spending as much
thread on the reverse side as you do on the actual side of the fabric.
13. Split stitch- is done using quite thick threads such as wool. It is used as an
outlining stitch or as a filling stitch.
a. Bring the thread out through A and put it in through B.
b. Take the needle backwards to bring it out through C. Note that C lies
halfway between A and B.
c. While bringing out the thread through C, take it in between the thread
splitting it into two.
d. Again, put the needle in through D to bring it out through B, splitting the
thread.
e. Continue this procedure to finish the stitch. The only thing to keep in mind
is to split the thread when bringing the needle out. In some way, it will
give you a visual feel of chain stitch.
f. The reverse of the fabric will give you a back-stitch pattern
14. Seed- also known as rice grain stitch. It uses simple straight stitches in a
single direction to fill in patterns. It has shorter stitches above the fabric and
longer stitches on the reverse side. They remind of strawberry seeds,
probably, which inspired its name.
a. Make rows of short running stitch as illustrated. You need not do row after
row, as long as the strawberry seed pattern is maintained.
b. Try not bend the curves of the pattern. The rows of running stitch should
essentially be done in straight lines.
15. Stem Stitch-is basically an outline stitch that is usually used for flower stems,
and outlines. It can only be used as filling, rows of stem stitch worked closely
together within a shape until it is filled completely.
a. Bring out the thread through A and take it in through B. Take the needle
backwards and bring the thread out through C. Make sure the point C lies
over the stitch A-B.
b. You need to note that point C lies about halfway through A and B. Also
note that C lies on top of the stitch A-B. So, all the subsequent stitch
points will lie on top their previous stitch.
c. Take the needle in through D. Try to mark D in such a way that the point B
will lie halfway through C-D. Bring the needle out through B.
d. So, the pattern of two stitches of the stem stitch will be as shown above.

What is It
To produce a good embroidered articles, you need to know how to create a
good design and use the right color of thread for them. Careful studying of the
principles of design and strictly following it will help you produce a better design.
Design means the arrangement of line, form, color, and texture with the purpose of
achieving order and beauty.
A basic understanding of the elements and principles of design can help in
the process of choosing a design that is pleasing to the eye. Elements are the
implements used to create a design. Principles are strategies for deciding how these
tools will be used to create the design.
Principles of Design
1. Harmony- is the Law of Unity with variety. This principle infers repetition of line,
form, shape, and size.
2. Proportion- Pertains to the relationship in size between a part and the whole.
3. Balance- is the visual weight distribution of objects, colors, texture, and
space. May be produced in two ways: symmetrical (formal) or asymmetrical
(informal) equilibrium. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of
the design are like those on the other side. Formal balance or symmetry has
equal color, shape, and size on either side of a design while the informal occult
has unequal proportion.
4. Rhythm- is a smooth movement. Without irregular motion, pattern and line
carry the eyes along. The eye automatically connects points in space.
5. Emphasis- is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. The eye
is carried first to the most important part of the design and then to the other details
in order of their importance. This is referred to as the center of interest of a design.
Elements of design
1. Line- skeleton or foundation sketch to direct the eye vertically or horizontally.
2. Texture- refers to the surface appearance which is either rough or smooth, dull, or
glossy, thick, or thin
3. Shape/Form:
a. Shape is an object or area of two dimensions which has height and width.
b. Form is an entity of three dimensions with height, width, and depth.
4. Space is a surface area having height, width, and depth illusion.
5. Color-is light reflected off objects. It has three main characteristics:
a. Hue - the name given to a color (blue, red, etc.)
b. Value - the lightness or darkness of a color.
c. Intensity - (also known as capacity or chroma) the brightness or dullness
of a color.
Color may be cool, warm, bright, or dull. Choosing the right color will greatly affect
the appearance of your finished project.
Below is a color wheel consisting of twelve colors that will give you an idea to make
successful choice of color.
There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel. We
begin with a 3-part color wheel.
Primary Colors: Red, yellow, and blue. In traditional color
theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3
pigment colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any
combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from
these 3 hues.
Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purple. These are the
colors formed by mixing the primary colors.
Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, bluepurple, blue-green & yellow green. These are the colors
formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why
the hue is a two-word name, such as blue-green, red-violet,
and yellow-orange.
Color scheme
A. Related Colors
1. Monochromatic Harmony- one color of different shades.
2. Analogous Harmony-
three neighboring colors where one is dominant.
B. Contrasting Colors
1. Complementary- colors opposite each other in the color wheel.
2. Double Complementary-two neighboring colors and their opposite colors.
3. Split Complementary-three colors diagonal with each other.
4. Triad-the color in between three spaces in the color wheel.
TRANSFERRING DESIGNS
The embroidery design you choose reflects who you are or the purpose for
which your project is being done. If this is not possible you may copy a design from
commercially available books on embroidery. Whichever make sure that the design
you choose will not only suit your purpose but will also enhance the beauty of your
fabric.
There are several ways of transferring designs onto a fabric. Among these are
ironing, tracing, and stamping.
A. Hot-iron Transfer - some designs sold in craft stores are printed on thin transfer
sheets. These are called hot-iron transfers, the easiest among the three methods.
To use a hot-iron transfer, first remove excess paper around the design, place the
design on the fabric, then pin at the corners. Make sure your flatiron is at low setting
before pressing it over an area of the design for a few seconds. Lift the iron then
move it to another area of the design. Remember not to glide the iron over the
design as this can ruin the design.
B. Tracing Method - designs may also be transferred using a tracing wheel and
preferably dressmaker’s carbon paper. However, when no carbon paper of this type
is available, ordinary carbon paper may be used. Utmost care should be taken
though in using the latter type as it can smear badly on the fabric. Remember to use
light- colored carbon paper if your fabric is of a light color.
The steps in this method are as follows:
1. Place your design right side up on your fabric then pin at the corners. Slowly
insert the carbon paper or dressmaker’s carbon, carbon side down, between the
design and fabric.
2. Using a tracing wheel, go over the lines of the design.
3. You may also use a pencil or any sharp or pointed instrument to trace the design.
C. Stamping
In transferring designs by stamping, you will need soft absorbent cloth, indigo,
kerosene or petroleum, sheets of newspaper, your perforated design, and the fabric
on which you want to stamp your design. A perforated pattern of your design is
made by pricking holes along the lines of the design.
The steps in this method are as follows:
1. Form the soft absorbent cloth into ball.
2. Mix 1-part indigo and 1 ½ parts kerosene or petroleum to make a smooth thin
paste. This will be your bluing mixture.
3. Spread sheet of newspaper on a flat surface. Lay the fabric on the newspapers.
Be sure the warp and woof threads of the fabric are aligned.
4. Lay the perforated pattern smooth side up on the part of the fabric where the
design is to be placed. Pin the corners of the design.
5. Dip the ball of cloth in bluing mixture. Rub the ball of cloth over the design in one
stroke or direction only.
6. To check if the design had been correctly transferred, lift one corner of the pattern
carefully.
7. When the design has been fully transferred, remove the perforated pattern. Using
a small amount of kerosene, clear the design of unwanted imprints. Air dry your
finished work.
Good Working Habits
It is not enough that you are aware of the different embroidery stitches, tools and
materials needed in embroidery work. How to do it correctly, neatly, and beautifully
is also just important.
To ensure cleanliness and maintain the good quality of your work, always bear in
mind the following good working habits.
1. Have clean sewing box with complete sewing tools.
2. Wash your hand before working.
3. Assemble all needed materials.
4. Clip or tie your hair while working so you can see your work clearly.
5. Use the appropriate needle for the right kind of cloth.
6. Put your scraps of cloth and thread in a plastic bag.
7. Use embroidery scissors in cutting thread, not your teeth.
8. An elbow length of thread is appropriate to use for easier sewing.
9. Work with your hands and not with your lips.
10. Follow the step-by-step procedure.
11. Fold correctly and keep your fabric in plastic after working each day.
12. Clean your working area before living the room.

of the fabric around the stitches.
5. Split stitch to decorate the shirt. (Other stitches may use defending on your
choice)
6. Once you have finished stitching, trim the excess stabilizer from around your
stitching. If you are using a tear-away or cut-away interfacing, carefully remove it at
this point
7. Rinse the handkerchief in cool water to dissolve the remaining interfacing.
