Create the perfect backside embroidered with a cross-stitch pattern with your own hands, tips for embroidering a smooth reverse side with a photo and description.
For some reason, beginning craftswomen are sure thata smooth and even backing in a cross-stitched product is necessary only when embroidering napkins, tablecloths and other similar products. However, if you want the reverse side of your embroidery to have maximum evenness, then this master class is designed specifically for you. Here you will find recommendations and rules for creating a smooth surface on the reverse side of embroidery.
Of course, creating the perfect backside is completelynot necessary, but it is very simple and convenient to do. 1. Be prepared for the fact that at the very beginning of embroidery, the speed of work may be low. 2. You should also understand that some products simply cannot be made with a perfect backside. So, for example, large-volume acrylic threads when embroidering on Stramin may not produce an ideal back side. The same effect may not be achieved when working with half-cross stitches and other stitches, combining different materials. The reverse side will be completely smooth if you use only the cross stitch. 3. Embroider should not be done in rows, but in areas. You have the right to choose the length of thread that is most convenient for you, but we recommend choosing seventy – one hundred centimeters. 4. Before you start the embroidery itself, quickly look through the diagram with your eyes, try to imagine how you will embroider and what the end result will be. 5. First you need to fill the area at one angle (in the same direction, using a half-cross), and then you need to return to the beginning. There are crosses that can be embroidered only if you first create a stitch “on top”, and then – "from below". This way, the needle and thread will pass under the already embroidered stitch, thereby observing the “perfect wrong side” rule. When striving for a smooth surface on the wrong side, it is very important to be extremely careful. Because if one stitch on the wrong side lies perpendicular to the others, then this will happen the next time. How to embroider the most difficult area is shown in the photo. Black arrows indicate the direction of the stitches on the reverse side. Please note that this area can be embroidered in a different order. For example, with the eighth cross it is possible to embroider a cross located on the seventh, and not on the left side of it. In the future, your eyes will see for themselves which crosses should be embroidered and what the order should be.
Here are a few important rules to follow:which will greatly facilitate the creation of the most even back side when cross-stitching a picture. Rule #1. We carry out embroidery in the way that is most convenient for you. Will it be from the heart or from the corner – not so important. But in the case of embroidery from the middle, the embroidery will not “go”. In the case where the canvas has a mesh marking, embroidery from the corner is possible. At the same time, it doesn’t matter from which angle the embroidery begins. But you need to understand that during embroidery your hand will touch the product, possibly getting it dirty. Therefore, we advise you to start from the top left corner. You need to select an area of one shade and you can begin the embroidery process. Rule #2. The thread must be secured without knots. In this case, the ponytails will need to be hidden on the face. Therefore, the most optimal option would be the “Aida 18” base. or "Aida 16". If you choose "Aida 14" , the places where the thread will be attached will be visible. And on "Aida 22" the threads will be noticeable, because the crosses on it are more convex. Rule #3. Stitches on the back and face should be made in the same directions. You don't have to worry about which direction your stitches will be created (vertical or horizontal). Main – you should be comfortable embroidering, and the stitches should be in the same direction in all cases. Rule #4. The hoop cannot be rotated. When there is an urgent need for this, then you need to turn them no less than one hundred and eighty degrees, otherwise the craftswoman may get confused, and the stitches themselves on the opposite side may lie perpendicular. Therefore, it is very convenient to use stationary hoops (tabletop or floor), which can be replaced with rectangular frames.
