About Embroidery Patterns Design
Colorful embroidery patterns look wonderful on linens and table cloths. Besides the use of colorful threads, beads, sequins, and quills can be incorporated into the pattern to create an intricate design. Exquisite embroidery can also be custom-made. This write-up provides information on custom embroidery designs and patterns.
The craft of creating stitches with the help of a stitching needle and colorful threads is known as needlework or needlecraft. Embroidery is a type of needlecraft that is used to create stitched decorations on a variety of fabrics including satin, tissue, leather, paper, etc. Its smallest component is a stitch. A single type of stitch or more than one type of stitches can be used to make a pattern. A pattern is recreated by following a counting chart, or ironed on the fabric, or even by drawing freehand. The more elaborate it is, more the number of stitches. Recording of stitches and patterns using samplers was first done in the 17th century.
Though the handcraft was practiced much before, the term embroidery came into usage, for the first time, in the medieval era. All the designs were painstakingly created by artisans and craftsmen who made sure that each piece was an example of perfection. Over the years, countries developed their styles and these styles were exported. For example, blackwork (needlepoint using backstitch or outline stitch and double stitch) was first brought to England by Catherine of Aragon, the Spanish wife of Henry VIII. Gradually, the list of this monochromatic style expanded to include whitework, bluework, scarlet work, and goldwork. Nowadays, metal and other colors are added to lend depth to a single pattern.
In the 19th century, new designs came to the picture. Transition from folk to custom embroidery was seen. With the fabrication of the embroidery machine, mass production of embroideries gained momentum. Berlin work added new vigor to the business. Biblical or historical themes, pictures of flowers, and even exotic Oriental paintings were now sought after. As the illustrations were painted or printed in Berlin and bought by needlework artisans all over Europe and United States, the style came to be known as Berlin work.
