Any embroidery requires skill and perseverance.There are many types of such needlework. Most variants of this art have come to us from very ancient times. When it was highly valued and was a kind of luxury.
Embroidery is a rather labor-intensive process.Each method is beautiful in its own way. They have their own characteristics and rules. Everything is usually embroidered using one thread, but there are more interesting ways. Some craftswomen use two or even three threads in their work. The products turn out very beautiful. In three threads you can
, and satin stitch.
What do you need to know to make three-thread embroidery beautiful?





Securing the thread before starting embroidery

This is one of the main points. All embroidery lessons accentuate this. After all, its incorrect fixation can lead to undesirable consequences. After a while, the product will start to blossom. Especially after washing. The main feature of the correct thread fastening is the properties of the material for embroidery. If you do not use a knot, then even a thick tail in three threads will easily slip between the holes, especially if a special
cross.The end of the three threads must be tied. This will create a kind of loop. We stretch the needle to the wrong side, go back, hook the loop, and the fastener is strong. Then you can embroider as usual. If the knotted end of the thread is visible on the front side, it can be carefully hidden between the holes of the fabric or under the stitch.
There is another method.We pull three threads into the eye of the needle. Two of them will make a loop. The third should be at their level. We begin to thread the needle from the front side to the wrong side. Not reaching the end, we go back and insert it into the loop. This is how we secured the thread. Now you can start embroidering the elements.

We select materials

Fabric selection

There are several types of canvas for cross stitch.To embroider with three threads, it is best to use 14 and 16 aida fabric. If the diagram is made up of half crosses, then materials from 25, 22 and 20 aida are suitable. Other varieties may make your job more difficult. For example, it is very difficult to embroider with a three-strand cross on 22 aida fabric. The threads don't fit through the holes well. Therefore, take your choice of fabric seriously. Also pay attention to the thread tension while sewing. If you have 14 aida canvas, then under no circumstances should you over-tighten the thread. Otherwise, the fabric will show through during cross stitching with three threads.
Thread selection
There are two types. These are Chinese materials and domestic floss. Chinese ones may lose color during washing. Therefore, be very careful not to damage the product.
Needle selection
First of all, pay attention to the sizeabalone For embroidery with three threads, this is the most important thing. It should be as large as possible. Otherwise, big problems will arise during embroidery. Its end should not be very sharp. There is no point in pricking your fingers. It is best to buy a needle with a rounded tip. It does not tear the fabric, but only pushes its threads apart. Also pay attention to its length. You don’t need to buy a short needle, and you don’t need to buy a too long one either. Choose a medium size instead. It will be the most convenient for work.

If you are just starting out in embroidery, andIf you haven’t had similar experience before, it’s best to use a hoop. Embroidering with three threads is quite difficult. The main thing here is that the stitches are equally tensioned. Therefore, it is better to use a hoop. Regular plastic ones will also work. The end result will be neat and tidy.
If you plan to embroider a large product, thentake large hoops. You can use wooden picture frames. They also hold the fabric well. Three-strand embroidery requires quite a bit of skill to get the threads through and place them correctly. Therefore, initially the fabric may slide off the instrument. To avoid such incidents, wrap the lower hoop with a bandage. Then the embroidery will hold tightly.
It is best to start embroidering from the middle.But there are drawings in which the main elements are located at the edges. Accordingly, we need to start from these sides. It is best to cross stitch in three threads in rows. The cross will be created by applying two diagonal stitches.

How to embroider a cross in three strands


We take a needle with three threads threaded into it.We fix it using the above method. We draw the thread from the lower left corner to the upper right. Thus, it turned out to be one stitch. To complete the cross, you need to move the needle from the lower right to the upper left. But you can immediately make the required number of bottom stitches, and then go back and apply the second row. If you embroider this way, the crosses will be the same size. And, as a rule, the thread tension is as uniform as possible.

. The product turns out very beautiful.The elements are voluminous and rich. This type of needlework can be used to embroider clothes and pillowcases. But there are also features that you need to adhere to in order to get the desired result. Before
decide on the type of fabric and technique.
We embroider poppies in three strings For work it is required:

  • the cloth;
  • Multicolored thread;
  • the hoop;
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • needle;
  • template.

Embroidery process:

Pattern for poppy stitch embroidery Fabric should bemedium density. Here you need to use a hoop. Otherwise, the seams will be uneven and twisted. Take wooden hoops. They will stretch this fabric better. If in cross stitch you need to count stitches, then here you embroider according to a drawn pattern. Transfer it using a pencil that dissolves when washed. You can buy it at a sewing store. Do not use carbon paper or pens. During washing, the ink will not disappear, but will only smudge. The product will be damaged. Fastening the thread in this version, compared to a cross, is much easier.
For those who are doing this kind of needlework for the first time, just tie a knot. Although when working with three threads, you don’t have to do it at all, but secure it during the second stitch.
Here too, choose a needle with a large eye.Otherwise, it will be difficult to insert three threads. Stock up on several shades of red, green and black. You need to start embroidering from the first petal. Stitches must be laid from the center, slowly moving to the outer edge. To make the petals more beautiful, embroider the edges with a thicker layer. Then the flower will turn out voluminous.
The most important thing in any embroidery is the transitionflowers. There are a lot of them in poppies, so you need to take time to ensure that the result is as beautiful as possible. A high-quality and almost imperceptible transition will be achieved by using stitches of different lengths. They are applied to areas already sewn up. If this is not taken into account, the drawing will be boring.
Thus we embroider all the elements to the linebend. Once everything is done, we proceed to it. Its design has its own characteristics. The fold is made using a chain stitch using three threads. It needs to be covered with satin stitch. Make sure the stitches fit tightly together. Otherwise the fabric will be visible. And this is not beautiful. We process all the edges of the bend with a special type of seam, which is performed by sticking a needle with a working thread behind the covering track. It is better not to process it using other methods. It wouldn't be very appropriate.

Pay attention to the outline of the cover. It should be clearly visible. Last fourth leaf
flooring. It's best to start from the center.Here you must use the method of infusion of tones. Then the drawing will look like it’s alive. It is performed with a needle and a selected thread. It needs to be pierced from the wrong side to the front along the sewn elements.
The last flap of the petal is embroidered with chain stitchseam in three threads. It is best to use floss. The covering of the fourth petal is done using double-sided satin stitch. It has its own peculiarity. A needle and thread are inserted behind the lapel contour and brought out into the embroidered surface on the front side. In order for all the elements to complement each other, you need not only to choose the right thread color, but also their variety.
It is best to embroider leaves on poppies with silkthreads. The floss will “hide” the leaves and the drawing will not turn out “alive”. Approach the embroidery of stamens with special care. Embroider them in a “rococo” style. It is dominated by a large number of nodules. This type of sewing will be appropriate for such an element. Use the threads in three layers. Two will not be enough. The stamens will be too “thin”.
The traditional color of the stamens is black.But it is better to use two - black and dark blue. For example, take one thread blue and two black. Poppies have fibers on their stems. In most cases they are not embroidered. Quite painstaking and small work. But we will embroider. Not with simple continuous seams, but with dashed stitches. Use one thread here. If you take more, they will really stand out. Follow all the steps correctly, and the embroidery will turn out very beautiful and colorful.

White satin in three strands


Three-thread embroidery is also used in suchstyles, like white surface. A very beautiful and ancient method. As a rule, they embroidered white blouses, or only collars and cuffs. White satin stitch is used to embroider with or without covering. This embroidery uses only white thread. Multi-colored threads would be inappropriate here. Some craftsmen are trying to use them in embroidering clothes on colored fabrics. But even here it is better that the thread is the same color as the fabric. If you are embroidering something other than clothing, the fabric should be as thin as possible. These varieties include cambric or marquise. They are very suitable for three-strand embroidery. Some experts combine white satin stitch with hemstitching. You can also use other types of sewing. The main thing is to mix them wisely.

But such elements as small petals are embroidered from the middle to the edges. Be sure to follow the direction of the veins.
