Cross-stitch embroidery of a cat and kittens (schemes)
Content
A cat is a wonderful animal to loveall without exception, because she brings happiness and joy to the house. So, I would like to talk in more detail about how to cross-stitch this cute creature on canvas. Take a small piece of this material of any color, it can be dark blue, yellow or white. You should approach color responsibly; for example, on black fabric you have to strain your eyes too much, and it will take longer to embroider than on white.
Take floss brown, red, whiteflowers, preferably a little more, so that there is a reserve. In addition, do not forget about scissors, hoops, a needle, the diagram that we liked with the image of a cat. If you want cute kittens to delight everyone who sees this embroidery, put your whole soul into the masterpiece you create.
Initial stage of work
To give the embroidery a convexity and a largerIt is desirable to embroider realism in six threads. We take the needle, we insert into it the mulina and proceed to the embroidery of the first cross. Do not forget that there should not be nodules, the wrong side is necessarily perfect. Tails and extra tips are hidden under the cross.
Before starting work, it is also important to do thiscalled the reference point, the diagram highlights it in the form of symbols, arrows vertically and horizontally. When carrying them out in different directions, the central point is marked.
It's time to do the same on the canvas, that iscalculate everything. We take the fabric and fold it in two, initially this needs to be done in a vertical position, and then we bend it again and perform a similar manipulation horizontally. The resulting corner will be considered the central part of the embroidery. The thread should be easily secured so that it can be easily removed later and the kittens will look neat.
Rules of embroidery
Key to the pattern It is recommended to embroider from the outline,it's easier. We take and count small cells from the central point to the top of the embroidery. We stock up on floss, the length of which is one meter, it is important that it consists of three threads, and take a needle, then thread the ends into it, thus creating a loop. Check the availability of the diagram and compliance with it during the work process.
The resulting thread now consists of sixdurable, which are necessary for cat embroidery. Please note that its length should be no more than fifty centimeters, so that you can measure it by applying it to your elbow and everything will become clear.
This type of floss will not tangle, andcause inconvenience during the creation of our masterpiece. If such a requirement is not met, then it will begin to spin, create knots on the canvas, you will have to cut it off and start over, since the future masterpiece will look untidy and sloppy, the kittens will “spread out” across the canvas.
Cat outline and thread fastening
The thread must be secured from the front. It is recommended to hold the needle with it without fail in the cell, then take it out to the front side, pass into the loop and tighten. It is necessary to correspond exactly to the scheme and not to invent extra crosses, all carefully count.
When creating a tower with the image of a cat, it is recommended to carefully ensure that the thread does not cling to the fabric, otherwise the embroidery will have an untidy and terrifying appearance.
I would also like to draw attention to no lessimportant detail: when embroidering crosses, it is necessary that the needle passes through the puncture, as this will help create a perfectly even pattern. It is also necessary to ensure that if the needle accidentally gets into the thread, it does not disconnect the previous stitch, and the kittens look original, these are the tricks.
The cat's eyes and body are already embroidered, all that remains ismake the finishing touches, as the diagram shows, or rather embroider a mustache. We take floss exactly the same as the outline of the animal, fold it into two threads and use elongated stitches to sew in the mustache.
