Embroidery in carpet technique has its own characteristics, since it is not at all like other types of embroidery. Finished products are distinguished by their softness and similarity to a real carpet. It is used to create pillows, blankets, paintings, bedspreads, toys. Today we will consider carpet embroidery with a needle, describe the methods and technology for creating works.

Embroidery features

The considered embroidery has several varieties and methods.

1. Embroidery-coloring. Embroidery consists in fixing short threads on a mesh base.
2. The next type is different in that a special hook is used in the work. The main difference from other types is that you can embroider with a needle and crochet. Embroidery is characterized by the fastening of threads on the front side, which creates a fleecy pattern. The basis for embroidery can be mesh or burlap. It is often used to create paintings and panels or small rugs with a simple pattern.
3. Making tapestries. It is widely believed that the creation of tapestry paintings is a very complex process. We hasten to please our needlewomen, this technique is comparable in complexity to conventional cross-stitch. True, the technique of tapestry embroidery has its own characteristics.

The work uses a special needle. We can say that this is a tube, the eye of which has a bevel. Due to the presence of a special retainer on the needle, the loops of threads are of the same length and thus form a uniform pattern. Like any kind of embroidery, this kind of embroidery is quite a painstaking task.

It is worth remembering that during the embroidery process, the needle must pierce the fabric, so for convenience it is recommended to use a frame or fingers.

Work must be done on a solid basis. It can be used as a grid, the cells of which are not too large. You can use a base made of threads.

Choosing the right scheme for the job is quite simple. You can search on the Internet or go to the store. In the latter, you can purchase a kit that has everything you need to work. But you can draw the patterns yourself, transfer them to the basis for embroidery and fill them with colored threads to your liking.

We embroider correctly

For embroidery, it is possible to use the remnants of yarn or thread that the needlewoman left from other projects.

The work is done on the wrong side of the base, and on the front you will get loops with a pile. Therefore, to facilitate the process, it is recommended to make color markings before starting work.

The base must be very well fixed and tensioned, since when piercing with a needle, the tightness of the tension is important.

The embroidery process must begin with "drawing" the outline of the image. Then you can fill in the space in the outline, make small details and you can start filling in the background. When working, the needle is held with the beveled edge up.

The seams in this technique are quite simple, their implementation is available even for beginners. Each detail of the picture is performed separately, you need to fill it in moving from the edge to the middle.

To simplify the embroidery process, you need to move from right to left while working, and keep the needle in a vertical position. This will help to ensure that the needle does not spoil the loops and does not pull them out. If done correctly and accurately, the pile will not need to be leveled.

Carpet painting

Here is a master class on tapestry embroidery. The process of creating such a picture is distinguished by the presence of a much larger number of colors in the work.

Most often, the tapestry is large, so it is better to use frames in the work. It is recommended to wash the base before work and only then insert it into the frame to prevent sagging of the fabric.

After that, the pattern must be transferred to the fabric. In order not to confuse the threads when working, you need to make a markup on the basis indicating the number of threads.

Stitches should be done as tightly as possible so that gaps do not turn out. To make the loops beautiful, the thread must be free when embroidering. Length is approximately 2 meters.

When changing the color of the threads, the thread with the previous color must be brought to the wrong side and cut off, and a new color should be threaded into the needle.

Periodically, you need to check the pile on the front side, if individual fibers are too long, they can be corrected with tweezers, and if they are short, then you need to slightly tighten them.

To prevent unraveling of the finished work, the seams must be secured. To do this, from the wrong side with a simple clerical glue, it is necessary to process the seams. The glue must be liquid, this will facilitate the processing and the base will remain soft, it can be bent. Let dry well. Then from the inside you need to iron.

It remains only to trim the villi on the front side with scissors and our tapestry is ready.

We offer you to watch a few videos on carpet embroidery.

Carpet embroidery is an interesting and, one might say, unusual way of needlework. You don't need to have superpowers to do it. The tools for it are also very simple. Fabric and thread can be found in your old stocks or in any needlework store, and some even make a special needle for such sewing. This embroidery, the schemes of which underlie the drawing up, is performed in two ways. Distinguish between machine embroidery for the manufacture of carpets and manual embroidery - pile carpets are sewn to it. The latter method will be discussed further.

What you need to know about carpet embroidery patterns

In appearance, they resemble cross-stitch patterns. For drawings, floral and geometric motifs, images of animals are used, for children - cartoon characters.

Finished work:

Result:

Patterns of embroidery in carpet technique are given above as an example, according to the resulting finished products. You can meet them in large numbers individually and as part of sets.

Features of carpet embroidery

1. Carpet embroidery can be done with a needle and a carpet hook. Knotted rugs are made last. The technique of working with a needle and a hook is different. With the help of a hook, many knots of thread are made, the method is based on weaving. This process is long and difficult, but such works are considered to be of higher quality and more valuable.
2. Needlework is easier. The essence of the technique is to pull the threads through the fabric. The work is carried out from the inside, which is represented by loops, and on the front side - a fluffy pile. In order to avoid the descent of the loops, the finished work is covered with a solution of water + PVA glue from the inside. It is made of moderate viscosity so that it does not leak onto the front side. Carpet embroidery with a needle for beginners is more suitable than the knot method.
3. Experienced craftsmen recommend starting work from the lower left corner and embroidering up or to the right so that the threads of the embroidered part do not interfere with needlework.

The material for embroidery is the following:

Thick canvas or linen.

Needle for carpet embroidery. It is a hollow metal tube with an oblique cut at one end and a handle at the other. Threads are threaded into it with a wire.

Step by step photo tutorial

The work goes like this: they pierce the fabric with a needle until it stops and pull the thread to the back.

It turns out a series of loops on the wrong side.

The front surface looks like this:

As a result, the picture is as follows:

This pattern is also suitable for cross stitch. In this case, each cell of the scheme corresponds to one cell of the canvas. If the embroidery is monophonic, then the pattern is not needed.

Before work, the fabric is fixed on the frame with carnations or buttons. For different sizes of carpets, you will need several frames.

Threads are taken from woolen, half-woolen, cotton, linen. They can be combined with ribbons.

Application

From the name itself it is clear that embroidery is used to create carpets. Also, as an option, they make paintings, pillows, furniture covers, soft toys, bags, stool mats. However, the nodular method is only suitable for rugs. Many needlewomen are delighted with carpet technology, and that's why it's worth trying to make a rug with your own hands.

Learning to embroider and making a cover for a stool (carpet embroidery)

Learning to embroider. Description of the process of making a pretty cover for a stool. Only two colors are used in embroidery. The simplicity of the proposed color scheme allows you to work out the skill of owning a carpet needle.

1. Fabric preparation.

We examine the edges of the linen cloth. For cutting the upper part, like any other, it is very important that the fabric has even edges in order to avoid warping, uneven cutting and other annoying mistakes. To align the edge of the fabric, you need to select the warp or weft thread on which we will align, carefully separate it from the rest of the threads and remove it from the fabric by gently pulling in the right direction.

Let's move on to the next point.

2. Creating a pattern for the upper part of the cover.

The pattern is very easy to make. We measure the length and width of the seat of the stool with a measuring tape. In my case, the dimensions of the seat: 31 cm by 31 cm, that is, this is the size of the top of the cover in finished form.

The edges of the upper part of the cover will be processed with a 0.5 cm wide buttonhole seam, which forms a semblance of a border. We add 1 cm from each edge to make it. In total, we get a square with a side of 33 cm. We draw the fabric: a square of 33x33, retreat inside the square 1 centimeter from the edges, draw a square of 31x31, having obtained the size of the upper part of the cover in finished form; we retreat another 0.5 cm inward from the edges, drawing a square with a side of 30 cm. 0.5 cm is just the indentation on the border. All squares naturally have a common center.

The seat of my stool has rounded edges, which are called mates in drafting. But studying the question of how to build them correctly is meaningless in this case, therefore, if your stool also has rounded edges, I advise you to do the following: take a piece of paper, turn the stool upside down, and circle the rounded corner on the paper with a pencil, aligning the sides of the sheet with the sides of the stool seat. Then round the corner of the sheet by cutting off the unnecessary part along the drawn line with scissors. Then we put this sheet on the fabric and circle the resulting rounded corner, alternately combining its sides with the sides of the drawn squares. Be careful when moving the paper template: you need to round the corners of each of the three squares, each time using the sides of one square as guides, and not the adjacent sides of the other squares!

3. Drawing an embroidery pattern on the fabric.

We select a picture (in this case it is "Kiss"), we outline it with parallel lines along the most extreme points so that the picture is inscribed in a rectangle. In this rectangle we draw diagonals. The intersection point of these diagonals is the center of the pattern.

As a rule, despite the pressure, the pattern is not clearly printed on the fabric, so we circle it with a thin marker. I use a disc marker.

4. Stretching the fabric.

To stretch the fabric, I use a frame-machine. You can use an embroidery machine that is convenient for you. The fabric should be stretched evenly, without distortions and sagging. This is a very important point. Working with an incorrectly stretched fabric leads to rapid hand fatigue and distortions of the embroidery pattern.

5. Preparing the carpet needle for work.

Choose the length of the pile of future embroidery. The length of the pile is determined by dividing the distance from the center of the bevel of the needle to the plastic handle in half. I decided that the cover would have a centimeter pile, so by unscrewing the clamping screw, I set the desired distance to 2 cm.

6. Insert the thread into the needle.

To embroider lips, you need a thread of dark red color. We take a needle threader. Instead, you can use a fishing line or wire folded in half and freely passing through the needle tube. I use fishing line for this purpose. We put the thread into the needle threader.

Then we stretch the needle threader through the hole opposite the oblique cut.

Thread inserted

7. The process of embroidery.

We pierce the fabric with a needle, lowering the needle all the way. The needle along the trajectory of movement is always kept with an oblique cut to the left.

Carefully remove the needle from the fabric and, retreating 1-2 millimeters, make the next puncture. During reverse movements, always keep the needle close to the surface of the fabric. A common mistake in this technique is to raise the needle high above the surface of the fabric during reverse movements, as a result of which the length of the pile turns out to be different, and sometimes this can even lead to unraveling of the embroidery.

When making carpet embroidery, first drawing outlines. This allows you to strictly delimit areas of certain colors, so as not to accidentally pierce areas of other shades with a needle. Outlining is one of the little secrets that keeps your embroidery looking neat.

Outline the contour of the lips. Remember that the oblique cut of the needle should always be directed to the left relative to the trajectory of the movement of the hand along the contour of the pattern.

Here's what happened on the wrong side.

Then fill the circled outline with stitches of the desired color. We alternately move the needle between the boundaries of the contour, first up, then down. The trajectory of filling the embroidery element is from right to left.

We embroider the elements (closed contours) of the lips.

Another little secret. When embroidering a background it is necessary to make separate and frequent lines of stitches protruding from a common embroidered block. I call them speakers lines. When embroidering, I direct them up and down respectively. They provide inconspicuous connection of embroidered background blocks.

These stitches have another purpose: sometimes I use them to make a smooth color transition between the shades of the threads according to the pattern.

Gradually fill in the background with the fabric bounded by the inner square.

Performing a 2-color pattern without wisdom allows you to master the basic skills of carpet embroidery.

The border is formed by sheathing the edge of the product with a buttonhole seam. The edge of the product must be folded twice by 5 mm: the first time the edge is folded in half the distance from the outer contour of the product to the contour of the next square. The second time the edge is folded directly to the border of the carpet embroidery.

How to bend rounded corners?

We cut the fabric everyone angle to the contour of the next square (do not cut the fabric to the border of the carpet embroidery!!! This will be a mistake!) 5 times: twice where the fillets begin, once in the center of the fillet, and then we cut the center of each piece of fabric that we have already cut.

Next, cut the thread of the desired thickness 2 times the length required for embroidery. I use a thin thread in 6 additions. Fold the thread in half. We insert the thread into the needle with a wide eye with the edges of the thread, not the fold. We make a puncture with a needle on the border with carpet embroidery, and insert the needle into the loop formed. This method of threading the needle is used to secure the thread without knots, so called knotless method of fastening the thread to the fabric.

We pierce the fabric with a needle from the wrong side, pull the needle to the front side, pass it through the loop formed and tighten it. Thus we sheathe the edge buttonhole stitch.

When the thread ends, then we fix the end of the thread again without knots, sewing a few basting stitches into the area not yet bordered. When the entire upper part of the cover is sheathed with a border, we also fasten the end of the thread with basting stitches, only it must be pulled under the loops of the border on the wrong side.

5.9 Processing the wrong side of the product.

After the border is made, we proceed to the processing of the wrong side of the cover (on the example of another product).

We take PVA glue and dilute it in a plastic glass with water in a ratio of 2: 1 (2 parts of glue to one part of water) on the basis that the finished solution should be 1/3 of the total volume of the glass. If the solution you prepared is not enough for processing, make more.

With a hard and wide brush for glue, we process the wrong side of the upper part of the cover. Under it, you need to put unnecessary fabric in several additions (rags) and several layers of paper (for example, newspapers). The adhesive solution should not be very liquid, that is, it should not be allowed to flow from the front side. We apply the solution with a brush very quickly, immediately smearing it on the surface of the wrong side in order to prevent complete absorption. Processing the wrong side with a solution of glue is a procedure for protecting embroidery from blooming, moths and all kinds of mites that do not like glue at all)). Such processing increases the durability of the product at times.

After the solution is applied, we cover the wrong side with a polymer film (you can use an unnecessary T-shirt bag cut along one of the sides, in which the handles and bottom are cut off) and put a load on top, for example, stacks of books. Make sure the weight of the books is evenly distributed evenly by product area. We leave the product in this state for 2 days. After removing the load after this period, we open the product, remove the newspapers and the cloth, which will be slightly damp, put it on a dry surface in an open form and wait several hours until the wrong side is completely dry. If you did everything correctly, then the wrong side should be smooth to the touch, the threads should not be felt.

After drying, we glue the wrong side with interlining to give it an aesthetic appearance and have additional protection for the threads from unraveling.

II Production of the lower part of the cover

6.1 Creating a pattern

We draw the fabric for the lower part of the cover along the wrong side, having previously folded the edges of the fabric to be cut with the right sides to each other. We draw 2 squares with a common center: the first with a side of 33 cm, the second with a side of 31 cm. It is obtained if you indent from the outer square inward by 1 cm. These will be seam allowances. To round the corner, we use the template obtained earlier. On one side of the pattern, I advise you to leave a plus for the seams of another 1 cm: through this side we turn the lower part of the cover onto the front side and carefully stitch it. It is better to have a margin for seam allowances in order to avoid unforeseen problems.

6.2 Sew on Velcro contact tapes with a basting stitch

We cut the Velcro contact tape 66 cm long in half. We get two segments of 33 cm. We separate the halves of the tape.

We cut out a square with a side of 33 cm from the padding polyester.

We take the corresponding halves of the adhesive tape and sew them with a basting stitch to corresponding to the midpoints of the front side one of the squares.

The sequence of the baited details is as follows: the lowest one is a sintepon square, then one fabric half of the lower part of the cover lies with the wrong side to it, then the corresponding parts of the adhesive tape are baited, then the second fabric half of the cover lies with the front side to them.

6.3 Assembling the bottom of the boot

We grind the properly folded parts of the lower part of the cover along the contour, along three parties. The side where you left an extra centimeter of seam allowance does not need to be sewn up - through it the cover turns out to the front side. The lowest layer when sewing is a sintepon square. To prevent the synthetic winterizer from clinging to the protruding parts of the sewing machine (foot mechanism, etc.), place a larger paper square under it. Stitch the details with him. After stapling, the paper is easily separated from the cover.

As a result, you have to sew 3 sides of the bottom of the cover, attaching three pieces of adhesive tape. We have one piece of Velcro tape attached to the fourth side, which has not yet been stitched by us.

Turn the stitched part right side out. Check if the adhesive tapes are properly connected. Baste the unsewn edges of the fourth side, tucking the fabric in on each side by a centimeter. Stitch them together with the remaining piece of adhesive tape, stepping back from the edge of 2-3 mm. Iron the resulting part with an iron. Quilt it, laying 4-5 lines along one of the sides at an approximately equal distance from each other. Lay a line along the contour of the part at a distance of 3-4 mm from the edge. As a result, it should look something like this:

6.4 Assembly of the product.

Since we have a red border, we take a thin sewing needle and insert a red thread. Carefully sew the upper part of the cover to the bottom, hiding the hand seams, that is, laying them between the parts.

You can do it in another way: sew on the corners of both parts small pieces of Velcro contact tape, with which they will be attached to each other.

The result of our efforts should look like this:

P.S. This master class was filmed by me personally. Girls, who do not mind, share the link with your friends, preferably through the "Add to bookmarks" menu on the site www.kovrodelkin.ru :) I also invite all needlewomen to cooperate. My mailing list: "Rare creative needlework techniques". Now it is a bit damp, because it only includes what the needlewomen themselves do, and not what they steal on the simplicity of the Internet. Therefore, I apologize for this small circumstance :) We are working hard on improving and filling it :) Therefore, I will be grateful to everyone who will join the project and show patience, and to everyone, everyone, everyone, who will take an active part in it!

The carpet embroidery technique came to us from the East, where this arts and crafts skill was mastered even before our era. Today, many needlewomen have mastered it at home and embroider stunningly beautiful rugs, panels, sofa cushions, and also decorate bags, accessories and household items.

Features of the technique of such embroidery

If you want to start embroidering a carpet for the first time, we recommend that you purchase a ready-made kit that will contain everything you need.

And for those who want to show their creative abilities and embody their own idea for creating embroidery in carpet technique, we recommend preparing the following:

• Special hard canvas (stramin) with large fibers for embroidering carpets.

• Woolen or synthetic threads. For embroidery with loops using a needle, threads are needed in skeins, and for crocheting ready-made cut threads of the same length, as a rule, no more than 5 cm.

• A diagram of a drawing or a sketch of a drawing.
• Buttonhole needle or crochet hook.

• Ideally, it is better to have a special “embroidery machine”, but you can get by with a simpler frame. It is convenient for some to embroider without special devices.

• You also need to prepare a ruler, scissors, a pencil for marking.

There are two main carpet embroidery techniques:

A needle for carpet embroidery can be easily made with your own hands from a medical system, a metal tube or a hollow knitting needle, and how the schemes in the photo will help you

Ideas for such embroidery with patterns

We want to offer you a selection of patterns for embroidering carpets with a needle or crochet, with which you can make small rugs for your home with your own hands.

• This scheme will allow you to embroider a beautiful rug that will decorate the bathroom, porch and area near the dressing table or chest of drawers. Calculate the scale based on the size of the canvas fiber on which you will embroider.

• Another option for a rug that can be done using a “type of embroidery” is with a needle or crochet. You can also experiment with color by choosing the threads yourself.

• Such a carpet ornament will look great in your home, and you can choose shades to match the furniture, or vice versa, focus on contrast. You can also adjust the length of the pile to get a more fluffy and soft carpet, or vice versa, a thinner one. Such a rug embroidered with small loops will look good.

• This scheme is definitely better to use for crochet embroidery and focus on the length of the pile. Remember, the larger the canvas structure, the larger your finished rug will be. Try to do markup in advance, and not “by eye”.

• This is a pretty intricate multi-color scheme that will help you make a cute bedside rug for a kid's room. You can also use this scheme for “embroidery on clothes” or on textile interior items.

• This cute dog will look great on the rug near the front door and cheer you up. In this case, we recommend choosing not woolen, but synthetic threads for embroidery, because they are more wear-resistant. And this scheme can also be used for “embroidery on knitted products”, for example, to decorate a knitted blanket.

• This shepherd dog can decorate not only a rug, but also a sofa cushion, and choose a background based on the shades of the interior.

• Little children will be pleased to play on a soft rug with such a wonderful bear, and it is better to embroider it with dense woolen threads using the crochet technique.

• This pattern could be an idea for a baby nursery bedside rug or a wall mural. You can take similar schemes from “cross-stitch kits” and apply them to carpet embroidery on pillows.

• This delicate pattern on a handmade carpet will decorate your bedroom or bathroom. It can also be taken as a basis for embroidery of other interior items or home clothes. For example, a home-made robe with embroidery, made by hand, will look very nice.

Unusual needlework - carpet embroidery technique. One of the most beautiful and easy embroidery techniques is experiencing a rebirth today. Carpet weaving is popular because of the fashion for exclusive handmade items. Even a beginner in needlework can learn to embroider with this technique, you just need to be patient.

This technique has an amazing history, it began a long time ago. Today, this embroidery method is in demand in interior decoration, because the name speaks for itself: panels, tapestries, rugs. All this is often used in the interior.

In addition, the technique is used in the creation of special fashion accessories - original bags and even toys. Famous couturiers never forget about her, using her in an unusual finish. Meanwhile, the technique is so simple and interesting that even children learn after the first lesson.

You need to start with the basics, namely from ready-made sets for newbies. They include a canvas with a created pattern, plain threads, a hook and a needle.

The main thing is the basis, in this technique, to obtain a good result, they use specially treated rigid canvas. This is very important if you want to make an interior item - a tapestry, rug or bedspread.

The result also looks great. on thick fabrics that perfectly hold the shape of the finished item. Can also be applied fillet net with cells the right size if you want to make soft, plastic embroidery, for example, to decorate a simple pillow.

In addition, you will need hoop or frame, on which you will have to pull the base. It is not necessary to neglect them, especially at the beginning of mastering the technique, because they allow you to make uniform and dense stitches.

The stitches turn out well even for those who “have not a full hand”, and it also helps to select color combinations of threads. Beginners should choose a pattern that is ready-made or applied to the product on their own, with clear contours and large details.

If you want to embroider a tapestry or nursery rug with a funny "cat" portrait, do not try to make mustaches, stripes and other small graphic shapes. Even a rug that is sketchy, but with clear contours, will surprise and please you with the result, and you will get the desired experience.

In carpet weaving, voluminous, thick pure wool or mixed threads still good for this acrylic and light with a bright color. When choosing a material, it must be taken into account that acrylic is easy to care for, but wool looks nobler and more interesting.

It is not in vain that knitters love this embroidery method, it helps to create unusual, and sometimes unique things almost “out of nothing”. Often the worst balls and hanks are used, and sometimes threads that should have been thrown away a long time ago.

The main tools that will be required for work:

• needles;
• special hooks.

So we figured out the tools for carpet embroidery for beginners.

Carpet embroidery with a needle, loop embroidery, diagram and video tutorials for free

How to embroider a carpet? To perform embroidery, you will need special needles, they help to work with a solid thread, making a pattern of voluminous interesting loops on the front side of the thing. Needles for work will need only two:

• for thin threads;
• for thick threads.

Needles can be purchased at sewing and craft stores. The principle of their work, regardless of the brand, is as follows: the thread passes through the entire needle with an “eye” at the sharpened end, and the fixing part makes it possible to create uniform “stitches” of the same size without great effort.

First of all, you need to create sketch. It can be either a finished drawing or your own. The main thing is that it has the correct outlines and well-made contours. It is worth remembering that the drawing is applied inside out, that is, in a mirror image. Samu the base must be well pulled on the frame, because the needle during operation can strongly pierce the fabric. Any stitch in embroidery with a needle is a simple movement, the needle must be inserted into the warp until it stops and pulled back. On the front side, a looped embroidery fabric is obtained.

Each loop is made with a simple precise movement of the needle: from the inside to the front side. Slightly retreating from the previous puncture, a new loop is made. The stitch frequency depends on how dense and voluminous you will make your embroidery. It is necessary not to raise the needle too high and not to pull the thread, leaving it free, because otherwise the embroidery loops may begin to unravel.

Carpet embroidery with a hook

An equally beautiful shape and pattern can be made using a crochet hook. For such purposes, you can take a simple crochet hook. Real masters take a special hook with a movable lock, which helps to embroider more beautifully and more efficiently.

Unlike the technique with a needle, the threads for working with a hook need to be cut into equal segments with a length of not more than five centimeters. To get this size, the threads can be wound on a simple school ruler, and then everything will work out perfectly. On the hook threaded into the canvas, it is necessary to throw a folded piece of thread, close the hook lock and pull it out from the front side of the canvas.
