Let's talk about cross-stitch. This is another hobby of the female half of the population.
Each person independently chooses his hobby, giving time for pleasant leisure. Embroidery today is becoming increasingly popular. For embroiderers, a sufficiently large number of auxiliary items and materials are produced. For beginners, of course, it is better to use ready-made kits for embroidery designed for cross-stitching. It’s worth starting embroidering with small and simple plots, and with experience and practice it will be possible to embroider large canvases, including a triptych.
Ready-made kits for cross-stitching will allow you not only to significantly save time on searching and choosing a pattern and pattern, but also to choose a color scheme and canvas. Since in the finished sets the threads are ideally matched for density and color. You do not need to choose shades, needles and canvas. You just need to decide on the desired plot, be patient and take up the embroidery process itself and enjoy not only the process, but also the result of the work. To complete the work, it is important to know the technique of cross-stitch. It is important that each embroiderer selects from a huge number of “crosses” the one that is convenient directly for her: the cross is sparse, oblique, double-row, double-sided in two or four additions. Much depends on what should be the end result. for embroidery panels, paths, napkins using the double cross stitch technique.
Sewing can be done both from bottom to top in horizontal rows, and vertical. In the process of embroidery sometimes use the technique of embroidery in diagonal rows.
Now the manufacturers' market is quite saturated, so you are presented with the largest selection of different sets for embroidery, from the simplest to the largest and very complex works, impressive sizes with a rich color scheme, which is selected on the organizer specifically for a specific job.
Technologies of our century allow you to choose the necessary devices, materials for embroidery and purchase them without leaving your warm and comfortable home. A lot of online stores offer the widest range of cross-stitch kits. Therefore, try, study, and everything will work out.
Each of the needlewomen embroiders in her own way. Someone holds the fabric on their hands during embroidery, someone uses a hoop to fasten the fabric, allowing it to stretch better, others prefer to use frames for cross-stitching.
Frames for cross stitching are wooden and plastic. They allow you to evenly stretch the fabric over the entire surface without stretching and not wrinkling it. It is worth noting that on the frame the area of the visible surface is much larger than on the hoop.
If you install the frame on the holder, you can get a machine that allows you to embroider, freeing one of the hands from holding the hoop. Embroidery is done with two hands. This is of great importance if you are embroidering a triptych. Under the triptych is understood a work of art, which consists of three components, united by a single artistic theme, design or plot. Cross-stitch "triptych" can be made out only as a single baguette, but also in the form of three different paintings. They fit quite nicely into the interior and do not need additions. Thus, any, the most complex and voluminous cross-stitch (triptych, chosen by you) during the manufacture on the frame is much faster.
At a standard height (30 cm), the width of the frames can vary, varying from 30 to 60 cm. It is important that the triptych embroidery can be done on a makeshift frame, the dimensions of which will be set for your original canvas. Cross-stitch (triptych is no exception) on the frame is much faster and more convenient, but the frame, along with the advantages, has its drawbacks.
The canvas can be sewn to the fabric located on the planks of the frame, located horizontally. The fabric is sewn exactly horizontally, and, therefore, perfectly stretched. It is believed that the braid can stretch over time and form waves.
Canvas can be attached to special frames with clips. This makes it possible to remove the canvas from the frame. It is worth noting that the canvas can not always be fixed exactly. If cross-stitching (triptych or any other work) is performed, the fabric can be fixed not only horizontally, but also vertically. It all depends on your preference.
Cross-stitch (triptych too) is sold in a ready-made set. It includes a scheme, a canvas of the required size, a sufficient number of threads of the right colors and a needle. If you wish, you can choose what will decorate your home.
