Features of creating a picture of satin ribbons

Embroidery is not only stitches with thread cross or stitch. To a person far from needlework, this may seem like real fantasy. Indeed, at first glance, it may seem that it is impossible to embroider something with ribbons.

Each embroidery kit has a manual, so even a beginner can cope with the task.

If the work is done correctly, the fabric will not tear. A puncture must be done in the tape, and then in the fabric. Due to this, the work will be voluminous, and there will be no trace of punctures on the fabric. But if it is necessary to make a flat leaf, then the puncture must be done directly into the tissue itself.

A needle for embroidery with satin ribbons is provided in the kit itself. If the needle accidentally breaks down or you decide to purchase all the tools separately, it is better to use a large needle with a big eye for this work.

Embroidery with satin ribbons is quite massive. It is best to design it in a frame, where there will be additional space between embroidery and glass. You can buy it in specialized shops for needlework. Due to this, the picture will look voluminous even under glass.

Note! For embroidery you will need pliers. You can use small pliers, which are used when collecting jewelry at home. Embroidery is not an easy job, and every stitch needs to be applied. It is with the help of pliers that the needle can be pulled from the wrong side.

What you need to create a picture

To get the basics of embroidery, we recommend that you visit the workshops of craftswomen in your city. This will help to understand the technology, learn a lot for yourself. If this is not possible , then you can see several online master classes.

Embroidery can only be started after all materials have been purchased. You can purchase everything you need in any needlework store. You can buy a ready-made kit for embroidery. But experienced craftsmen still prefer to buy everything separately.

To begin with, you need to decide which ribbons the work will be done - silk or satin. Each variety has both pros and cons. Silk, made from natural material, and satin from synectic. That is why satins are considered a more budget option.

The disadvantages of silk ribbons:

  • crumple quickly;
  • very often molt;
  • burn out when hit the best sun.

The benefits of satin ribbon:

  • durable;
  • long term of operation;
  • well absorb moisture.

It is also necessary to check all the tapes for molting, because after the work is done it will be too late to do it, even if only one tape is molted, it can completely ruin the work.

The main element for working in embroidery is considered to be a needle. Simple sewing needles are not suitable in this case. When buying a needle, consider the following:

  • summer should be placed in the eye of the needle;
  • the end of the needle should be blunt;
  • no rust.

If you have chosen a complex pattern, it must be applied to the fabric before you begin to do the work. Get a special marker for needlework. A simple marker can leave a mark on the canvas, so in this case it is strictly forbidden to use it.

In addition, you will need:

  • scissors;
  • lighter;
  • matches;
  • pliers.
