 What is It

To produce a good embroidered articles, you need to know how to create a

good design and use the right color of thread for them. Careful studying of the
principles of design and strictly following it will help you produce a better design.
Design means the arrangement of line, form, color, and texture with the purpose of
achieving order and beauty.
A basic understanding of the elements and principles of design can help in the
process of choosing a design that is pleasing to the eye. Elements are the implements
used to create a design. Principles are strategies for deciding how these tools will be
used to create the design.

Principles of Design

1. Harmony- is the Law of Unity with variety. This principle infers repetition of line,
form, shape, and size.

2. Proportion- Pertains to the relationship in size between a part and the whole.

3. Balance- is the visual weight distribution of objects, colors, texture, and space.
May be produced in two ways: symmetrical (formal) or asymmetrical (informal)
equilibrium. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design
are like those on the other side. Formal balance or symmetry has equal color,
shape, and size on either side of a design while the informal occult has unequal
proportion.

4. Rhythm- is a smooth movement. Without irregular motion, pattern and line carry
the eyes along. The eye automatically connects points in space.

5. Emphasis- is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. The eye is
carried first to the most important part of the design and then to the other details in
order of their importance. This is referred to as the center of interest of a design.

Elements of design

1. Line- skeleton or foundation sketch to direct the eye vertically or horizontally.

2. Texture- refers to the surface appearance which is either rough or smooth, dull, or
glossy, thick, or thin

3. Shape/Form:

a. Shape is an object or area of two dimensions which has height and width.

b. Form is an entity of three dimensions with height, width, and depth.

4. Space is a surface area having height, width, and depth illusion.

6
5. Color-is light reflected off objects. It has three main characteristics:

a. Hue - the name given to a color (blue, red, etc.)

b. Value - the lightness or darkness of a color.

c. Intensity - (also known as capacity or chroma) the brightness or dullness

of a color.

Color may be cool, warm, bright, or dull. Choosing the right color will greatly affect
the appearance of your finished project.

Below is a color wheel consisting of twelve colors that will give you an idea to make
successful choice of color.

There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel. We
begin with a 3-part color wheel.

Primary Colors: Red, yellow, and blue. In traditional color

theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3
pigment colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any
combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from
these 3 hues.

Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purple. These are the

colors formed by mixing the primary colors.

Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-

purple, blue-green & yellow green. These are the colors
formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why
the hue is a two-word name, such as blue-green, red-violet,
and yellow-orange.

7
Color scheme

A. Related Colors

1. Monochromatic Harmony- one color of different shades.

2. Analogous Harmony- three neighboring colors where one is dominant.

B. Contrasting Colors

1. Complementary- colors opposite each other in the color wheel.

2. Double Complementary-two neighboring colors and their opposite colors.

3. Split Complementary-three colors diagonal with each other.

4. Triad-the color in between three spaces in the color wheel.

TRANSFERRING DESIGNS

The embroidery design you choose reflects who you are or the purpose for which
your project is being done. If this is not possible you may copy a design from
commercially available books on embroidery. Whichever make sure that the design
you choose will not only suit your purpose but will also enhance the beauty of your
fabric.

There are several ways of transferring designs onto a fabric. Among these are
ironing, tracing, and stamping.

A. Hot-iron Transfer - some designs sold in craft stores are printed on thin transfer
sheets. These are called hot-iron transfers, the easiest among the three methods. To
use a hot-iron transfer, first remove excess paper around the design, place the design
on the fabric, then pin at the corners. Make sure your flatiron is at low setting before
pressing it over an area of the design for a few seconds. Lift the iron then move it to
another area of the design. Remember not to glide the iron over the design as this
can ruin the design.

B. Tracing Method - designs may also be transferred using a tracing wheel and
preferably dressmaker’s carbon paper. However, when no carbon paper of this type
is available, ordinary carbon paper may be used. Utmost care should be taken though
in using the latter type as it can smear badly on the fabric. Remember to use light-
colored carbon paper if your fabric is of a light color.

The steps in this method are as follows:

1. Place your design right side up on your fabric then pin at the corners. Slowly insert
the carbon paper or dressmaker’s carbon, carbon side down, between the design and
fabric.

2. Using a tracing wheel, go over the lines of the design.

3. You may also use a pencil or any sharp or pointed instrument to trace the design.

C. Stamping

In transferring designs by stamping, you will need soft absorbent cloth, indigo,
kerosene or petroleum, sheets of newspaper, your perforated design, and the fabric
on which you want to stamp your design. A perforated pattern of your design is made
by pricking holes along the lines of the design.

The steps in this method are as follows:

1. Form the soft absorbent cloth into ball.

2. Mix 1-part indigo and 1 ½ parts kerosene or petroleum to make a smooth thin paste.
This will be your bluing mixture.
9
3. Spread sheet of newspaper on a flat surface. Lay the fabric on the newspapers. Be
sure the warp and woof threads of the fabric are aligned.

4. Lay the perforated pattern smooth side up on the part of the fabric where the design
is to be placed. Pin the corners of the design.

5. Dip the ball of cloth in bluing mixture. Rub the ball of cloth over the design in one
stroke or direction only.

6. To check if the design had been correctly transferred, lift one corner of the pattern
carefully.

7. When the design has been fully transferred, remove the perforated pattern. Using
a small amount of kerosene, clear the design of unwanted imprints. Air dry your
finished work.

Good Working Habits

It is not enough that you are aware of the different embroidery stitches, tools and
materials needed in embroidery work. How to do it correctly, neatly, and beautifully is
also just important.

To ensure cleanliness and maintain the good quality of your work, always bear in mind
the following good working habits.

1. Have clean sewing box with complete sewing tools.

2. Wash your hand before working.

3. Assemble all needed materials.

4. Clip or tie your hair while working so you can see your work clearly.

5. Use the appropriate needle for the right kind of cloth.

6. Put your scraps of cloth and thread in a plastic bag.

7. Use embroidery scissors in cutting thread, not your teeth.

8. An elbow length of thread is appropriate to use for easier sewing.

9. Work with your hands and not with your lips.

10. Follow the step-by-step procedure.

11. Fold correctly and keep your fabric in plastic after working each day.

12. Clean your working area before living the room.
