Embroidery Designs Guide

Check out this unique natural style of embroidery (perfect for any natural images like birds or animals) - called “thread art”. In “thread art”, the direction of sewing is not in normal straight lines but depending on the figure being sewn, it could be in various directions with the single purpose of giving the final result a natural texture effect. You can check out some samples of thread art at Embroidery SA.

If you take the example of this African fish eagle next to this post, the beauty stems from the distribution of the thread colour so smoothly to the places where it naturally occurs in the bird. Generally this style of digitizing results in a longer ” time to sew” than conventional embroidery. To allow natural distribution of colour, a greater number of jump threads are needed. This is similar to what happens when embroidering in cross stitch. The modern home embroidery machines would help in automatically cutting the jump threads for you.

Again taking the example of the African eagle, take a look at the background scenery. Doesn’t the sky blend beautifully with the clouds?
