To make a small rug with your own hands, you can use embroidery in carpet technique, but you can create not only a rug, but also pillows, bags and other products.
Let's consider in more detail what this embroidery carpet technique is.

Carpet Technology: Basic Types

There are two main types of embroidery in carpet technique:

Loop. This is embroidery by carpet technique using a special needle for carpet weaving, when a pattern is created from a number of loops on the basis of the chosen scheme. As a basis for carpet embroidery a thick cloth is used. This technique is still called "non-woven tapestry";
Nodular. Here we use a special hook for carpet technology. As a basis for napkin carpet embroidery is used vinyl canvas. On the entanglements of the base knots of short strings are knotted, hence the name of the technique.

Now for each kind of carpet technique in more detail.

Carpet technique: stitch embroidery

This technique of embroidering carpets was also used by our grandmothers. Huge carpets were embroidered on cold winter evenings. Then this technique was left a little forgotten, and now it comes back to life.
For work it will be necessary:

Dense fabric;
yarn. Any yarn will do, but it all depends on what drawings will be chosen. It is advisable to take a yarn of the same thickness and structure;
Special needle for carpet embroidery;
A pencil for drawing a picture on a fabric;
scissors.

Selection and drawing of drawings Figures or diagrams forEmbroidery in carpet technology you can choose any that you like. Carpet embroidery will be carried out from the wrong side, so we will apply the contours of the picture to it.
The fabric is not tightened too much on the embroidery frame, which is desirable to choose this size, so that you can see the entire picture. After the fabric is stretched, it is possible to apply a pattern.
Special needle - the main working tool

Carpet technique by pullingProvides for the use of a special needle for carpet embroidery. Its tip, as it were cut at an angle, and inside the needle and handle a hole where the thread will stretch. On the side of the cut will be the front side of the needle, and the straight side, on which there is a tab for the thread, is the back.
For beginners it is better to use automaticNeedle, where the length of the needle is regulated and, accordingly, the loops will be obtained the same. As a rule, there are three replaceable needles in the set to easily pick up for different thicknesses of yarn.
During the carpet embroidery needle is kept strictlyFront or side sideways in the direction of embroidery. But the direction of the embroidery itself has absolutely no value, the main thing is that the direction of the needle movement is along the stitches.
How to begin carpet embroidery After pulling the fabric on the hoop and drawing the pattern on the chosen scheme, we proceed to embroidering.

It is very important to keep the needle perpendicular to the tissue. The thread that comes out of the top hole in the needle handle should go behind the hand so as not to get tangled or create knots.
After watching the video with the master class, you can understand exactly how to pass the needle through the fabric.
After this, the needle gently rises above theThe surface of the tissue until its tip comes to the surface. We recede from already ready stitch literally a couple of millimeters and pass the needle into the fabric again. It is important to follow clearly the chosen scheme and monitor the position of the needle (strictly perpendicular).
After 5-6 stitches, the protruding tip of the thread from which the work began, can be trimmed carefully so that it does not interfere. But you need to do this very carefully, otherwise all embroidery will simply bloom.
In the course of work on the side where the carpet embroidery goes (the wrong side), stitches will be formed, and on the front side - stitches, which will create a pattern.
When the thread has run out or the color needs to be changed The thread ends, and the end of the needle has already disappeared. In this case it is necessary to proceed as follows:

Make a few more stitches, then pull the thread from the needle, tightly pressing the last stitch with a finger;
We cut the thread very close to the fabric, but so that the stitch does not bloom;
Fix the tip of the thread with textile glue.

If you need to go to another section of the embroidery, even walking alongside, you do not need to make a big stitch. Crop the thread and start a new area first.
Fill the drawing areas
It is best to start embroidery with large elements, then go to small details and other elements of carpet coloring with threads.
Choose one element, first embroider itContour needle stitch after stitch, and then start gradually fill the entire area, like coloring. To do this, you can use the circular direction of movement, and you can go by lines, you can combine the technique of performing stitches. In the video master class, you can more closely examine the process of embroidery.
When embroidering straight lines with a needle, it is necessary to go through two rows of stitches, so that the line turns out to be more even and clear.
As you can see, embroidery with such carpet technique withUsing a special needle, does not contain absolutely any difficulties. To avoid difficulties during embroidering, take note of some recommendations:

Do not need to make stitches very close to each other. If you get an empty area, you can always go back to it and make a few stitches;
To ensure clarity at the border of two colors, you need to start stitching the inside of the lines of the printed circuit;
When changing the direction of embroidery, the needle should be in the fabric. Cloth with a stuck needle to turn and you can continue to embroider;
If somehow the nodules are formed on the filament, this will cause the loops to pop out of the fabric. Therefore, it is very important to prevent their education;
Sometimes it is necessary to control the front side, so thatSee exactly or not looping loops. Do not be scared and immediately rework the first loops, which are very far from ideal. The general picture can be understood when one element is filled, i.e. The loops will lie close to each other;
If you need to remake a certain number of loops, you just need to pull the thread until the "unsuccessful" stitches unfold. If there are many creases on the elongated thread, it is better to replace it with a new one;
From the choice of fabric depends on the needle for carpet technology. It should be remembered, the thicker the needle is selected, the warmer the fabric needs to be taken. With the wrong selection on the tissue will be obtained holes.

The final stage That's all, our carpet embroidery is ready, it remains only to put it in order.
In warm water, add a little shampoo, and rinse in it the finished work. Strong detergents can adversely affect the threads.
After that, lay out the product on a flat surface and leave until completely dry.
If during work the fabric is bent from the hoop, it is necessary to slightly flatten it with a slightly heated iron from the wrong side of the work.

Basic seams of carpet embroidery

Cross stitch
Seam "elongated cross"
Seam "half-cross" Perhaps, the most famous seam is the "cross". By the way, this seam is the basis for other seams in the carpet technique.
The first step in the direction from left to right is to make an even number of stitches, like half the cross. The second half of the cross will be executed in the opposite direction in the same way.
The next type of carpet is "cross"Elongated. " Thread the working thread at an angle through one vertical and two horizontal threads of the canvas. The work order, in this case, is the following: the working thread is laid in the seam direction from right to left, then it is covered in this way by stitches in the direction from left to right, and after that goes the second row of stitches, but in the opposite direction.
When making a seam "half-cross" you need to selectThe working thread is slightly thinner than the warp yarn. The working thread is drawn horizontally from right to left, and then stitches in the opposite direction are laid over it.

Oblique tapestry seam (first way)
Oblique tapestry seam (second way way)
The elongated oblique tapestry seam "Oblique Gobelin Seam" can be performed in various ways:

The oblique stitch is made through two strands of the canvas in width, and one in height that passes between the other two horizontal threads, but not overlapping them;
Stitches are laid obliquely through one vertical and one horizontal thread of the canvas, overlapping the first.

By the way, it is the tapestry seam in various designs that is very similar to the old carpet embroidery.
A little tip: When sewing with a tapestry seam on the embroidery frame, the thread must be transferred to the front side with the backing. And if you embroider without using a hoop, you need to turn the work around when each row ends, and take out the needle after the last stitch.
To perform "oblique and elongated tapestry seam", you need to act in the same way as when embroidering an ordinary, but vertically take three strands.
