They are embroidered according to the same rule. Only before starting work you need to think over every little thing on which the final quality of the pattern depends - choose the necessary scheme, prepare the fabric, select the colors of the yarn. It is generally accepted that in comparison with other embroidery methods, for example, satin stitch, cross-stitching is a very simple needlework. Beginners in cross-stitching are assured that everyone can cope with the simplest pattern. To some extent, this is true. There is nothing intricate in the cross stitches themselves. They look like crossed lines. But on the other hand, if you are interested in cross-stitching flowers, then you need to focus on the stages of preparation for cross-stitching.A huge selection of cross stitch patterns of variousflowers you can easily find on our website for free and without registration. And to master how to embroider, it will take you a little time. The cross-stitch technique, which we will talk about later, applies to all types of embroidery. Cross-stitch technique Symbolically, we will divide cross-stitching of flowers into a number of stages. Preparation of fabric, embroidery and decoration of the product. Let's start preparing the fabric. To do this, you need to fold the fabric in four and determine the central point of the work. The upper right corner will be the center, which you mark with chalk or a water-soluble marker. For convenience, we suggest drawing the fabric into squares, the size of which will depend on the dimensions of your embroidery. This will help you not to get confused in the pattern and avoid incorrect color changes. When you have roughly determined the location of the pattern on the canvas, you need to cut off the excess fabric, leaving about 10 - 15 cm. This distance is absolutely enough to put the finished product on a frame or create a passport. Before work, we recommend washing the fabric, provided that it has a colored base. This way, you will determine whether the fabric will fade or not. The next stage of preparing the embroidery is choosing the threads and needle. Embroidery needles have a wide eye and a blunt tip. Such needles are called embroidery or tapestry needles.When purchasing a ready-made scheme, the kit includesneedles and threads. If you have chosen a pattern on our website or developed it yourself, then by coming with the pattern to any specialized store, with the help of sellers you will be able to select floss threads of the desired color and good quality. Pay attention to the lighting in the store, since in poor lighting the color rendering may be distorted. It is better to select colors in daylight.When cross stitching flowers or any other patterns,do not use the entire thickness of the floss. Cut off the required length of yarn, which varies from 30 to 80 cm, depending on the type of cross. Straighten the cut thread and disassemble it into a number of parts. Do not make a knot at the end of the thread, but secure the thread with a special stitch without knots. You can start embroidering flowers anywhere. Make the stitches in the following way: Bring the corners to the front from the back side. Sew the stitch, pulling the needle with the thread into the opposite corner diagonally. Then pull the needle from the back side into the lower right corner. Then repeat the stitches diagonally to the required length.When we make the last stitch diagonally,we approach the embroidery of the second half of the cross. We pass the needle with the thread along the outer side from the lower right to the upper left corner. To move to the other cross, you need to pull the thread from the back side to the lower left corner. Moving from right to left, we finish the path of stitches. In this way, we sew stitches along the entire pattern. Make sure that the back side is neat, since it is believed that the work should look beautiful from all sides.The final stage is the design of the embroidereddrawing. First, you need to process the ends of the canvas. To do this, we sew the edges on a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch or overlock, or manually process the edges with a velvet stitch. Sometimes craftswomen do not process the edges of the canvas, but cut the threads and fray them a little.Next, the prepared embroidery is inserted into a frame or used to decorate clothing and accessories.We offer you a selection of cross stitch patterns for flowers free of charge and without registration, with the help of which you can cross stitch sunflowers and roses, irises and poppies.
