What’s In
Embroidery is the ornamentation of textiles and other materials with needlework for
personal use and decoration not only at home but for offices as well. The term
embroidery is an English word derived from the old French embroiders meaning edge
and border.
Embroidery was introduced in the Orient by the Netherlands in the 15th century. It
was brought by the Spaniards to the Philippines where it made a wonderful growth
which some of the best works could compete for the ones in Switzerland, a country
noted for its exquisite embroidery.

What’s New
Below are the tools and materials used in Embroidery its uses and maintenance.
Tools
3
Needle threader- is used for easier threading especially
by those sewers with poor eyesight.
Embroidery needles- are short pieces of steel with fine points at one end
and little openings or eyes at the other. The type of embroidery and the kind
of thread to use are two things to consider in choosing your needle.
Needles should always have a fine tip so that they can easily move in and out
of the fabric. Do not use a bent needle, without a point, or rusty. This will affect
the regularity and neatness of work. Protect your needles by storing them in a
needle case. Sharpen your needles and make pins last longer by rubbing them
with an abrasive material such as sandpaper or heavy wool.
4
Chenille
Tapestry needle - is similar in size to chenille but is blunt rather than sharp.
Tapestry needles are large enough to accommodate crochet thread or embroidery
floss, and many are large enough to accommodate yarn as well, sizes range from
13 to 26.
Watercolor brush
5
Pincushion- is typically filled tightly with
stuffing to hold pins rigidly in place.

Materials
1. Fabric- sometimes referred to as cloth, are of great variety and they differ in
material, weight, weave, design, color, and finish.
All fabrics should be prewashed before using them for quilting or embroidery. The
filler that is used in the fabric can cause havoc if it is not removed by washing prior
to working with the fabric.
7
Thread - is available in various types. They differ in terms of texture, fiber content,
number of strands, and colors. Threads are usually coded in numbers and color
names. They can be bought in skeins, balls, or spools. The color of the thread should
suit the color and texture of the design and the fabric to be embroidered,
1. Thread dents—when a cone falls onto the floor, the point of impact can “dent”
the thread, resulting in a weak spot (or spots) that can ultimately lead to problems
as the thread travels toward the needle. This is a common problem for those who
store unused cones on top of their machine. Those cones will “walk” across the
machine table due to the vibration of sewing and ultimately end up on the floor.
2. Discoloring and fading - Threads, especially rayon, will fade when exposed to
sunlight for extended periods of time. If your threads are stored on a windowsill
or anywhere that sunlight can strike them full force, you risk fading and
discoloring.
3. Lint buildup—Threads that sit out are exposed to the elements of your shop’s
environment. They are prone to get dust and lint. Over time, the buildup of dirt
can sink down into the threads. When the thread travels through the upper
thread path, it takes the crud with it, dispensing it through the critical surfaces
(such as tensioners) that should remain clean and smooth. The end result will be
inconsistent upper thread tension and possible thread breaks.
Embroidery Stitches
There are various embroidery stitches that you can choose from when you do
embroidery work. For you to gain more skill on this line, below are the illustration of
some of the embroidery stitches which will help and guide you as you enjoy working
on this lovely craft.

2. Bullion stitch- a single detached stitch that is
used for filling in a design area. Rows of bullion
stitches may also be used to outline a design. It
is recommended that one uses a needle with a
small eye for ease in pulling
3. Chain stitch- one of the more popular stitches
used for outlining. When worked in close rows,
chain stitches make good stitches for filling the
design area.
4. Cross-stitch- stitched formed by two crossing
arms and may be used for outlining, as borders,
or to fill in an entire area.
9
12. Satin stitch- a solid filling stitch that is used to
cover a design area with long, straight stitches
worked very close together
Embroidery Stitches
Instructions: Do the following stitches at home. Pass them the following week. Follow
the steps carefully. Take a picture/video of yourself while doing the activity. Post it
in your e-classroom or you may send your output to any preferred platform.
Materials:
Needle
Thread (any color)
Recycled cloth
1. Backstitch
a. Bring the thread through A and take it
in through B. This creates one stitch.
10
b. Bring the thread through C and take it in
through B. This way, we are creating a
stitch by taking the thread backward
2. Bullion stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and put
the needle through B at the desired
length.
11
3. Chain stitch
a. Bring the needle through at the top of the
traced line
4. Cross-stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and take it
diagonally across to B. Bring it back again
through C, which lies vertically below A.
5. Feather stitch
a. We begin by doing a long-tailed daisy with
the start point on A. The loop is angled at
about 45 degrees since we are making a
zig-zag pattern. While making the ‘tail’,
before going in through the fabric, we
wrap the thread around the needle as
shown in the illustration.
12
c. Continue this procedure of making long-tailed
daisies at 45-degree angles.
6. Fishbone
a. To begin with, bring the needle out
through point A, which is the top tip of
line Y. Put it in through B, to make a
single straight stitch.
13
7. French knot
a. Bring the needle out through A.
8. Herringbone stitch
a. Bring the needle out through the first stitch
line at A. Now, take the needle in through B,
which lies diagonally across A on the second
stitch line. Then, take the needle back out
through C, which lies near B.
14
c. This stand-alone stitch can be used freely
to be a part of any design. Since I have
decided to make a flower, I will proceed
with making multiple lazy daisies around
the marked stitch line.
15
12. Satin stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and put it in
through B. So, that makes a stitch that
covers a small area between the stitch lines.
13. Split
16
14. Seed Stitch
