Embroidery Basics - Fabrics
Embroidery can be worked on a vast range of fabrics, which can be divided into two main groups: evenweave fabrics and plain weave fabrics.
Embroidery Basics - Frames
With most embroidery techniques, it is a great advantage to keep the fabric taut during stitching. There are various frames available.
Embroidery Basics - Threads
Some threads are designed to enhance stitching. Others, particularly the heavier variety of threads, are used for surface decoration and should be couched onto your fabric.
Embroidery Basics - Needles
The choice of needle for a particular project depends upon the fabric and thread being used. The thickness of the thread determines the size of the needle's eye, and the weave of the fabric determines its points.
