Lesson 52

There are calado designs which have already been transferred to the fabrics available in the market. What you just have to do then is to choose the color of the scheme or the color combination to use. This would determine the color of embroidery thread that you will use. You have to consider the color of the fabric in selecting your color scheme.

The most ideal or appropriate kinds for this embroidery are the linen and pia cloth. The fabric should be fine and light in weight. The warp and the woof threads should be even in size and thickness.

Making the calado embroidery is a sewing activity so it needs several sewing tools.

They are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Look for rustproof needles and pins made of brass nickel-plated steel or stainless steel. Sharps are allpurpose, medium-length needles designed for general sewing. Crewels are sharp, large-eyed medium-length needles designed for embroidery. Pins with colored ball heads are easier to see and are less likely to be lost than those with flat heads.

They are available as skein thread and as spool-ball thread. The spool-ball threads are used for overcasting the mesh while the skein thread is used for embroidering the other parts of the design.

It provides a safe and handy place to store pins. One style is worn on the wrist for convenience.

It protects your finger while sewing.

It eases threading of hand and machine needles .

It is slender, sharp, and pointed.

It is a measuring tool. Choose one that does not stretch.

It is a container where the sewing tools are kept.

This is where the design is drawn.

It is used for transferring the design.

It is used to keep the embroidery fabric after working on it.

This is the most basic stitch. Be careful that all the stitches and gaps are of equal length. Bring needle up at 1 down at 2. Pick up several stitches on needle before pulling it through. A variation of this stitch is to work a thread of a different color in between the stitches. Be careful not to pull the thread to tight.

Bring the needle up at 1 and down through 2, completing the first stitch. Then bring the needle through at 3 and carry it back down again at 1 to complete the second stitch. Distance between 3-1 and 1-2 should be equal. Repeat sequence for next stitch , needle entering at 2 should go into hole made by thread emerging from point 1 of previous stitch. Be careful that all stitches should be even.

It can be threaded in a similar way to running stitch. To work singlethreaded line, use a blunt needle to lace the yarn under each stitch.

Bring the needle out at 1, insert at 2 and exit a half stitch back at 3. Distance 1-3 and 3-2 should be equal. Note that point 3 of previous stitch is now 1 and the needle emerging at 3 is coming from hole made by thread entering at point 2 of previous stitch.

It is one of the most important embroidery stitches . It is used for filling in areas . It appears simple, but it takes some practice to get the coverage absolutely even. The direction in which these stitches lie is very important. Look carefully at the design before you begin stitching as the direction you choose will influence the way the light reflects off the area and the look of the filled space.

This also called the buttonhole stitch and is frequently used to protect fabric at the edges of blankets or round button holes. This is how it is made. Stitch is worked from left to right . Bring the needle out at 1 on bottom line. Insert at 2 on top line and slightly on the right then exit at 3,directly below. Before pulling needle through, carry yarn under point of needle. Proceed to the next stitch. Point 3 of previous stitch is now point 1. Work entire row in the same way, keeping height of stitches even throughout.

It is also known as open loop. Fly stitch can be worked individually or paced in groups and rows to give different effects. Bring the needle up at 1. Insert at 2 directly across, then angle needle out at 3. Points 1,2 and 3 should be equidistant. Carry the yarn under the needle point and pull through. Complete stitch by inserting at 4 over loop.

It is one of the most popular embroidery stitches for outlining or for filling an area. This is how it is made. Bring the needle out at 1. Insert back at the same hole at point 1 and bring out at 2 carrying yarn under needlepoint, then pull it through. Point 2 is now point 1 of next stitch. Work all stitches the same way, always inserting needle into the hole made by emerging thread. To end row take a small stitch over last chain loop to hold it down.

A variant of chain stitch, is useful for making small flower petals. It is made by forming a loop in the usual way. Bring needle out at 1. Insert back into same hole at point 1; and exit at 2; carry yarn under needle point then pull through. Inset needle at 3 over chain loop, and then bring needle out at point 1 for the next chain stitch. Continue the way until all petals are complete.

It is a stitch used for leaf designs. As the stitch is formed, a thin braided line is formed at the center to represent the central vein of the leaf. The first 4 steps in the following series start the design. The fifth and sixth steps are repeated in sequence thereafter.

These small knots appear like beads. They can be used as filling for the center of a flower. This is how it is done. Bring needle to the right side of the material at the point where the knot is to be made.(A) Hold the thread firmly between the left thumb and first (index) finger quite closed to the fabric. Twist the thread around the needle pulling it taut. Turn the needle in the opposite direction and insert it closed to the point where the thread emerged. Pull the needle through the coils of thread on the wrong side of the work.

Materials:
linen thread 18 x 18 in 21 bundles 1 piece bond paper size 1 piece

sewing kit with complete sewing tools

tracing paper water color brush

pounce powder

III. Procedure

1. Prepare the material to be embroided.

2. Transfer the design. 3. With running stitch outline the part of the design to be applied with the calado embroidery. 4. Finish first the edge around the open calado motif using french stem stitch.

5. Cut and pull out the yarns on the wrong side. A good way is to lift the yarn in the middle with a pin. Cut and pull out the yarns toward the edge of the design.
6. Apply overcasting stitch on the mesh by working diagonally, to make the mesh slightly rounded. 7. Embroider the other parts of the design with the other kinds of embroidery stitches .

8. To finish the napkin , trim square 13/4 inches past the design .and hem.
