Cross-stitch embroidery designs for cross-stitching, free cross-stitch patterns for embroideries, a master-class for embroidering pillows according to the scheme
Master class on creating a pincushion withcross-stitched ornament Since ancient times, needlewomen have decorated both wardrobe details and other household items with embroidery. The great interest in cross-stitching can be justified by the fact that it requires a minimum number of tools and there is no need to master any special technologies, you just need to ensure that the thread tension remains uniform during the embroidery process.
Our lesson today is dedicated to creationpincushion, which is decorated with cross stitch. After you decide on the pattern (it can be easily found on the Internet), you need to select the tool and materials for the work. Then we begin the preparatory stage.
At the beginning it is important to decide how the process will proceedembroidery process: using canvas only or you intend to lay it over the fabric. If you have chosen the second option, then you need to baste the canvas to the fabric base using the “line” stitch, and after finishing the embroidery, remove this stitch (remove the canvas threads). The most popular for embroidery are floss threads, which are folded 2-3 times. The working thread should be no longer than fifty centimeters. If the thread is longer, it can get tangled and cause you discomfort when embroidering. After you have embroidered according to the pattern you like, we continue to make the pincushion itself. To do this, you need to take 2 squares of fabric that is already decorated with embroidery and four tassels on a very long thread. You can make a tassel yourself or buy it in a specialized store. We process the squares along the entire perimeter with a seam (“back needle”). Make sure that the length of the stitches is the same, and that their number matches. Attach the tassels to the corners of the pillow on the front side.
The tassels need to be attached to the outer part of the squares (behind the seam that runs along the perimeter). We will later remove this section inside the product.
We attach all four tassels to the corners.We do not use the back side. Next, we will connect the front and back sides of the product with seams. If you carefully made seams along the perimeter (“back needle”), then this stage will not cause you any difficulties. We simply sew the 2 parts with dense stitches.
So, part 1 is ready. The corners should be folded inward and stitched on the other side. Do not pull the thread very tightly at the beginning of the work.
We make seven to ten stitches and only after that we need to pull the main thread, as if it were a lock.
We connect all sides of our product. On the back part, you need to leave a small hole of a couple of cm unsewn. Next, you need to stuff the pincushion. After that, we close the hole.
