Tricks with ribbons
Each master of needlework always accumulates a lot of ideas to help make the job easier and more comfortable, and the finished product - a beautiful and durable. Here are a few tips:
work with embroidered small flowers looks very beautiful if a bead of the appropriate size is sewn into the middle of each one;- if the finished work is supposed to be inserted intoframe with glass, it is necessary to make a small pad on the perimeter of the frame between it and the fabric, otherwise the embroidery relief elements will be pressed, and all kind of product will lose;
- fabric with embroidery for insertion into the frame must becarefully tighten, preventing deformation, which recommended "fields" for embroidery cardboard substrate to seal any thread with low tension;
- you need to be very careful and cautious;
- stroke anything embroidered ribbons, only from the inside, with iron movements should be the minimum pressure and impact on the embroidery - very short;

Where to start embroidery ribbons
Fastening the tape with a flatknotsEducational master classes allow many to understand how similar in some techniques ribbon embroidery and regular thread embroidery using various counted stitches are at times. But securing threads and ribbons on the back side before starting work is significantly different. The ribbon cannot be tied into a knot: at least, such a technique is not recommended. It is also difficult to pull the ribbon under adjacent stitches. In addition, so that the product does not lose its attractive appearance during further washing and/or cleaning, it is necessary to secure the ribbon "tails" with special care. There are several ways to start working.
Method one:
Such a method is equivalent to nodules with conventional embroidery thread: curved tip will not pass through a puncture in the fabric and will securely hold each tape secured in this way.
Method two:
Some of the workshops, which offerwilling to learn different methods of working with the tapes, give their recommendations on how to properly and carefully secure the tape to the fabric on the reverse side. And yet for Reliability backing edge synthetic tapes can be up to suturing slightly singe fire.

With the end of the last stitch embroidery all or individual motive, too, everything is quite simple.
or simply sew it with small stitches either to the main fabric or to the nearest ribbon on the inside.
Making the wrong side of embroidery ribbons
Of course, the master of his art works thatfront and underside of the fabric looks just great. But novice needlewoman are often lost, seeing how unattractive is the reverse side of their craft. Indeed, in contrast to the cross stitch, where the reverse side remotely, but still similar to the "face" of the work, when sewing ribbons so rarely.
The ends of the ribbons on the reverse side must besinge and secure with threadsAgree, the reverse side of any handicraft is rarely shown to anyone, so here we are talking more about vanity. Nevertheless, the design of the reverse side of the work is also a science, although not a very tricky one.
The main rule is not to cutthe ribbon once more. For example, if you plan to embroider several flowers next to each other, which consist of four or five main stitches, then it is easiest to make small stretches of ribbon along the back from one flower to another.
Excellent helpers when working with the reverse sidewill be threads of different colors. It is better if they match the tone of the main ribbons of the product. If the work consists of a large number of stitches and/or motifs, even when embroidering with short ribbons, you will have to make small intermediate fastenings. They will also be needed if some element requires twisting the ribbon. Then several fixing stitches should be made both at the beginning and at the end of the element.
If any part of the embroidery requires reliefstitches (for example, these can be bumps), it is better to secure each such stitch on the back with a thread. If the bumps are located next to each other, the thread can be pulled from bump to bump instead of breaking. It is advisable to secure each stitch because over time or even during further work, the ribbons can be accidentally caught and pulled out, and then the dimensions of several relief stitches will definitely be violated. Correcting such a defect is much more difficult than securing the stitches in advance.
It is interesting that an experienced craftsman, using the technique of ribbon embroidery, is able to create a double-sided work that will not have any reverse side at all.
