A Quick Look At The Modernized Ancient Art Of Embroidery Lake Elsinore

By Karen Moore


Before machines came to the scene and made printing on fabric a possibility, decorations were done by hand. One would take a fabric of their choice and use string or yarn to stitch a design onto the fabric. It was painstaking and laborious. Since then embroidery Lake Elsinore has evolved to involve machines. The foundation remains decorative needlework created by stitching. Only now, it is not done by the dainty fingers of the village women.

After human beings moved away from hand stitching, they came up with sewing machines. The decorative needlework would then be done on these machines. Te design would be sketched on the layer of fabric. One would then guide the fabric on the sewing machine. It was still laborious but it was easier than the former method. Then came specialized machines. One only has to punch the design into the machine then wait and wait.

Use of machines does not take away from the foundation of decorative needlework. Only now, it is achieved through much less blood and sweat. It much cheaper as less fabric and yarn are wasted. To cap all of this, there is little to no errors. The software takes instruction very well. Therefore, if there is a problem with the design, one should rush to check their input.

Before buying a machine for this purpose, one must know what they need the machine to do. Every machine has its strength. For example, will there be the need for a cap holder or a cap attachment? A cap holder means that one will be decorating many caps and will thus need a permanent fixture. If caps will not be a regular activity then going for the attachment is better. Such that one can dislodge the cap part when done until the next cap activity.

Storage of said machine is a big issue. If one has to move the machine to make room for something then the risk of damage is increased significantly. It would be better to have a dedicated area for the machine. For this, think about the different sizes. There is a tabletop home use machine, a commercial grade one, and a heavy-duty machine. The purpose features again. How big will a sewing field be needed?

Some software is required in machine decorative stitching. Whether or not one has encountered hand stitching before, they should start from the very basic level. This is very useful as one is able to learn basic lettering. Through this, one can master editing and combination of designs. Once these activities are mastered, one can then upgrade to the next level of software.

This art was used in the past to inspire concentration and start conversations. The most diverse and complex designs were strongly related to politics, power, and resistance. Today, it is an art. This art has a significant place in notable museums. It is being used to tell stories. It is timeless.

For a company looking to step away from conventional print advertising, this would be a great direction to go. The designs stay crisp and distinct. They do not fade.
