Preparation: needles, silk thread, curtains and embroidered frames.

Like this:

The main function of apron is to stretch the cloth surface to keep it tight and flat, which is convenient for needle insertion. Just like writing and drawing, the paper should be flat.

Of course, we can start with a little DIY embroidery at home, so that we can use this shirt.

Let me tell you the basic steps first.

First, choose a good draft.

Then the pattern to be embroidered is hand-painted or printed on the cloth.

Then embroidery.

Note that the thread must be made of silk, and the embroidered picture will be crystal clear. If it is made of cotton thread, the picture will be impetuous.

Learning Shu embroidery well depends on the basic skill-needling.

First thread the needle, then insert the needle, pierce the needle tip into the position between two silk threads, then wrap the silk thread around the needle tip for three or four times in a row, and finally hold the needle tip and pull it out to tie the head.

Shu embroidery has various and complicated stitches. Let me introduce several commonly used acupuncture methods to you first.

Empty stitch is the most basic stitch of Shu embroidery.

The first is line splitting, which separates the intertwined lines and reassembles them side by side.

Separate the twisted silk threads.

Hold the needle between your thumb and forefinger.

Put your middle finger against the end of the needle.

Take the circle as the center, and practice the action of starting and closing the needle repeatedly.

When pulling off the line, the little finger should help hook the line and pull it down.

give/have an acupuncture treatment

The act of knotting at the beginning and end of embroidery.

Remember, Shu embroidery is different from ordinary sewing thread, and it needs to be tied and fixed at the thread end. Shu embroidery is fixed in this way, and it is not tied at the thread end.

Use/handle needles

It is the arrangement of lines, just like a pen in painting.

After introducing the basic stitches, we began to learn the most basic methods of straight lines and curves, just like painting, as long as you can draw lines and outline the picture.
