Basic Techniques for Embroidering Letters

Basic techniques for letter embroidery

“I hope you enjoyed the course and that it inspired you to create more and more and look for your own style and references. In my final project I chose complementary colors and a lot of filling, but during the course I showed other ways to express myself with the lines. An important tip to find your style is to experiment, the more you practice, the more you will discover new ways and solutions. Your final embroidery can become a framed painting with the frame itself. This is the way I show it in the course, but feel free to experiment with picture frames, embroider your clothes or decor pieces. In the beginning, I suggest that you start embroidering on fabrics with more closed wefts and without spandex, after you feel safer, explore new fabrics like sweatpants, knitwear and other types of threads like wool and silk threads. I reason with these possibilities too much and I hope you do too! Below, I share some steps I took in the elaboration of my final project: I passed my design to the chosen fabric.

I defined shapes, colors and points. I embroidered the elements according to each shape and colors chosen. I finished the back of the frame. And here's the finished embroidery! Now it's your turn! Share your process and experiences on the forum so we can see your project. Your work will inspire more people in the community! Also, if you wish, show us your progress through Instagram with photos and the hashtag #JulianaMotaDomestika. I will be available for questions and I really want to see your creations, it is really cool for me, as a teacher, to see how each person expresses themselves. Each is a universe and I'm excited to see the results. The forum will be open for questions, I will answer as soon as I can and you can chat and exchange information yourself. You always learn something by watching other people's practice! ”

The idea was to have the foliage interact with the letter. Sometimes. it slipped behind the font. other times it hovered above. I swapped the letter I with a twig from a plant. The stroke of the A ended up also being this plant. This makes it all one thing. creating more harmony. I chose this word for the course because it has a lot of variation. It includes the T. which is very straight. and letters w...”
