I was thinking about what I should try for embroidery this week, then I came up with the idea of letters embroidery as I haven’t tried that before. So I decided to have letters embroidery for my 10th learning project. I started to search for different videos to pick the stitches type. Though there are multiple videos that can guide about letter stitching, I chose the ‘Surface Stitch’ out of a few more options provided in the video for letter embroidery. The instructions about the surface stitch can be found in the very first part of the video.
I arranged the supplies I needed including a cloth, thread, frame and a needle.
I started to draw in bold letters and followed the embroidery with the baseline. I used yellow and shocking pink, five strands thread to pattern my design, and started with the stem stitch to complete the outline.
The fun part was the surfacing around the stem stitch, that really fascinated me. I used a Canva template to show my recent work.
I thought I’d be able to complete it this week, but I still need some more time to finish. So stay tuned to have a complete look!
Uzma,
I love that you chose to do letters this week. I think they are one of the hardest things to embroider because of the symmetry and trying to make the letters look in the same font. I love your dedication as well as the little digital collage of your work so far! I just love Canva. I can’t wait to see your progress next week!
Thanks Jaida, I appreciate your time you’ve taken out to comment on my post.
Best,
Uzma
