What’s In
Development of Philippine Embroidery
Embroidery is the ornamentation of textiles and other materials with needlework for
personal use and decoration not only at home but for offices as well. The term
embroidery is an English word derived from the old French embroiders meaning edge
and border.
Embroidery was introduced in the Orient by the Netherlands in the 15th century. It
was brought by the Spaniards to the Philippines where it made a wonderful growth
which some of the best works could compete for the ones in Switzerland, a country
noted for its exquisite embroidery.

3
What’s New
Below are the tools and materials used in Embroidery its uses and maintenance.
Tools
Gauge – is used to measure short distances.
Tape measure- is used for measuring more than one-
foot distance or materials.
Thimbles – is made from metal or plastic, used to protect
the middle finger, and push the needle while doing your
embroidery work. This comes in sizes from 6 (small) to
12 (large).
Embroidery hoop/stiletto – is made of wood, bone,
metal, or plastic, and used to make eyelets in the fabric
to be embroidered. It is also used to keep the fabric
stretched while embroidery stitches are applied to the
design.
It is advisable to place tissue paper over the inner hoop or
twist or wrap the inner hoop with a thin material to prevent
markings on the fabric.
Embroidery scissors - a small, sharp, and pointed item
for fine work in trimming scallops, clipping threads, and
cutting large eyelets.
Note: Protect the blades by keeping them in a sheath or
cover and get them to sharpen occasionally.

4
Needle threader- is used for easier threading especially
by those sewers with poor eyesight.
Pounce- is a fine powder used in transferring design by
pricking method.
Embroidery needles- are short pieces of steel with fine points at one end
and little openings or eyes at the other. The type of embroidery and the kind
of thread to use are two things to consider in choosing your needle.
Needles should always have a fine tip so that they can easily move in and out
of the fabric. Do not use a bent needle, without a point, or rusty. This will affect
the regularity and neatness of work. Protect your needles by storing them in a
needle case. Sharpen your needles and make pins last longer by rubbing them
with an abrasive material such as sandpaper or heavy wool.
Crewel - are sharp-pointed, medium
length with large eyes for easy
threading, used for most standard
embroidery stitchery. They come in
different sizes, ranges from 1 to 10.

5
Chenille
Tapestry needle - is similar in size to chenille but is blunt rather than sharp.
Tapestry needles are large enough to accommodate crochet thread or embroidery
floss, and many are large enough to accommodate yarn as well, sizes range from
13 to 26.
Watercolor brush

6
Pincushion- is typically filled tightly with
stuffing to hold pins rigidly in place.
Tracing paper- is used for tracing designs.
Sewing box – is used to keep together the
embroidery tools and materials.
Bag - is made of washable material to hold your work
when not busy on it. It keeps work clean and fresh.
For further reference: Watch this video on how to use some of these tools mentioned
above.

Materials
1. Fabric- sometimes referred to as cloth, are of great variety and they differ in
material, weight, weave, design, color, and finish.
Three Types of Fabric
1. Common weave- includes most tightly woven fabrics with a relatively smooth
surface like linen, wool, and cotton. They are best used for articles with
decorative stitches.
2. Even-weave- are intended for Hardanger embroidery since the number of
threads per square inch is the same for both warp and woof.
3. Basketweave- is commonly used by beginners, while ramie linen is mostly
used by those who are accustomed to this type of embroidery. There is usually
a guide for cross-stitch, or smocking with an evenly spaced pattern like
gingham cloth, or polka dots in the market.
All fabrics should be prewashed before using them for quilting or embroidery. The
filler that is used in the fabric can cause havoc if it is not removed by washing prior
to working with the fabric.

8
Thread - is available in various types. They differ in terms of texture, fiber content,
number of strands, and colors. Threads are usually coded in numbers and color
names. They can be bought in skeins, balls, or spools. The color of the thread should
suit the color and texture of the design and the fabric to be embroidered,
Proper Care of Embroidery Thread
As one of the most essential elements of the stitching process, it is important to
ensure proper and careful care of embroidery thread. Store it properly under
controlled conditions to avoid the following issues:
1. Thread dents—when a cone falls onto the floor, the point of impact can “dent”
the thread, resulting in a weak spot (or spots) that can ultimately lead to problems
as the thread travels toward the needle. This is a common problem for those who
store unused cones on top of their machine. Those cones will “walk” across the
machine table due to the vibration of sewing and ultimately end up on the floor.
2. Discoloring and fading - Threads, especially rayon, will fade when exposed to
sunlight for extended periods of time. If your threads are stored on a windowsill
or anywhere that sunlight can strike them full force, you risk fading and
discoloring.
3. Lint buildup—Threads that sit out are exposed to the elements of your shop’s
environment. They are prone to get dust and lint. Over time, the buildup of dirt
can sink down into the threads. When the thread travels through the upper
thread path, it takes the crud with it, dispensing it through the critical surfaces
(such as tensioners) that should remain clean and smooth. The end result will be
inconsistent upper thread tension and possible thread breaks.
4. Brittleness—In addition to discoloring and fading, excessive exposure to sunlight
can dry out the thread and lead to brittleness in the fibers. Obviously, this will
weaken the thread and lead to excessive thread breaks.
Embroidery Stitches
There are various embroidery stitches that you can choose from when you do
embroidery work. For you to gain more skill on this line, below are the illustration of
some of the embroidery stitches which will help and guide you as you enjoy working
on this lovely craft.
1. Backstitch- the most often used to outline a
design. This stitch also forms the baseline for
other embroidery stitches

9
2. Bullion stitch- a single detached stitch that is
used for filling in a design area. Rows of bullion
stitches may also be used to outline a design. It
is recommended that one uses a needle with a
small eye for ease in pulling
3. Chain stitch- one of the more popular stitches
used for outlining. When worked in close rows,
chain stitches make good stitches for filling the
design area.
4. Cross-stitch- stitched formed by two crossing
arms and may be used for outlining, as borders,
or to fill in an entire area.
5. Feather stitch- a stitch with a loop and
stitches evenly worked on both left and right
sides of a design area.
6. Herringbone stitch- a basic overlapping stitch
popular for its use in borders.
7. Fish Bone- a kind of filling stitch which is ideal
for making leaves or feathers. It requires us to
divide the pattern into two and each side is
filled alternately giving it a plaited effect in the
center, thus ideal to make leaves or feathers.
8. French knot- a single detached stitch used
primarily to fill in a design area. It is a popular
stitch among embroiderers in that it can be used
to create the eyes on an embroidered face or the
center of a flower.
9. Lazy daisy chain stitch- also called detached
chain stitch, this stitch is worked in a circle to
resemble the petals of a flower.
10. Looped stitch- a very decorative stitch and can
be experimented with threads for various colors
over borders. Close layers of this stitch can
create wonderful effects on a pattern.
11. Running stitch- considered being the easiest
stitch for outlining.

10
12. Satin stitch- a solid filling stitch that is used to
cover a design area with long, straight stitches
worked very close together
13. Split stitch- done using quite thick threads,
such as wool. It was used as an outlining stitch
or as a filling stitch.
14. Seed stitch- also known as rice grain stitch.
Stitch uses simple straight stitches in a single
direction to fill in patterns. It has shorter
stitches above the fabric and longer stitches on
the reverse side. They remind of strawberry
seeds, probably, which inspired its name.
15. Stem Stitch- basically an outline stitch, this
stitch is usually used for flower stems, and
outlines. It can only be used as a filling, rows of
Stem stitch worked closely together within a
shape until it is filled completely.
Embroidery Stitches
Instructions: Do the following stitches at home. Pass them the following week. Follow
the steps carefully. Take a picture/video of yourself while doing the activity. Post it
in your e-classroom or you may send your output to any preferred platform.
Materials:
Needle
Thread (any color)
Recycled cloth
1. Backstitch
a. Bring the thread through A and take it
in through B. This creates one stitch.

11
b. Bring the thread through C and take it in
through B. This way, we are creating a
stitch by taking the thread backward
c. Bring the thread through D and take it
in through C. Continue this pattern to
finish the design.
d. A finished line of backstitch will look like this.
2. Bullion stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and put
the needle through B at the desired
length.
b. Now, bring the needle out through A
again. Then, wind the thread around the
needle as shown. The distance of the
wound thread should measure the same
as the distance between A and B. Too
many or too few wraps will spoil the
stitch.
c. Then, hold the wrapped thread with your
fingers and pull the needle out with the
other finger. Keep pulling the needle
completely in an upward direction till
the wraps lay on the fabric as shown
above. Adjust and straighten the wraps
if required and put the needle back
through B.

12
3. Chain stitch
a. Bring the needle through at the top of the
traced line
b. Hold the working thread down towards
the left with the thumb.
c. Insert the needle at the point where the
thread has just come through and bring
it up on the traced line about one-
sixteenth of an inch / 1.5mm further
along.
4. Cross-stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and take it
diagonally across to B. Bring it back again
through C, which lies vertically below A.
b. Now put the needle in through D, which
lies vertically above B. You have made a
single cross.
5. Feather stitch
a. We begin by doing a long-tailed daisy with
the start point on A. The loop is angled at
about 45 degrees since we are making a
zig-zag pattern. While making the ‘tail’,
before going in through the fabric, we
wrap the thread around the needle as
shown in the illustration.
b. Then, the needle is put in through C and
brought out through D, again at an angle
of about 45 degrees. Next, loop the thread
around the needle as shown. This is to
make the next long-tailed daisy.

13
c. Continue this procedure of making long-tailed
daisies at 45-degree angles.
d. This illustration shows a portion of the
feathered chain stitch.
6. Fishbone
a. To begin with, bring the needle out
through point A, which is the top tip of
line Y. Put it in through B, to make a
single straight stitch.
b. Now, bring the needle out from a point
very close to A on line X. Put it in
through a point very close to B on line Y.
Again pull out the needle through a point
very close to A on line Z.
c. This procedure of putting in the needle
through X and Z alternatively will
follow. Each time we will be connecting
X-Y and Y-Z.
d. Make sure all the stitch points lie close
to each other to avoid any visible
spaces.
e. Halfway through, our leaf would look
like this. You can see the rib being
formed.
f. Once finished, the filled leaf would look
like this.

14
7. French knot
a. Bring the needle out through A.
b. Now, place the needle close to the fabric. Wrap the
thread around it twice, as shown.
c. Keep the longer end of the thread pulled with
your fingers while putting the needle back at a
point just close to A or even through A.
8. Herringbone stitch
a. Bring the needle out through the first stitch
line at A. Now, take the needle in through B,
which lies diagonally across A on the second
stitch line. Then, take the needle back out
through C, which lies near B.
b. Now, the same procedure will be worked on
the first stitch line. Take the needle
diagonally across to D and bring the needle
back out through E.
c. Continue to make such crosses on both
stitch lines alternately. Make sure the
diagonal stitches are parallel to each other
to bring out the best look.
9. Lazy daisy chain stitch
a. Bring the thread out through A. Put in the
needle near A and bring it out through
point B, but do not pull the needle out
completely. Now, loop the thread around
the needle, like we would in chain stitch.
b. Pull out the needle to tighten the loop.
Put in the needle just outside the chain
created and that will finish the lazy daisy
stitch.

15
c. This stand-alone stitch can be used freely
to be a part of any design. Since I have
decided to make a flower, I will proceed
with making multiple lazy daisies around
the marked stitch line.
d. The completed flower is made of multiple
lazy daisies
10.Looped stitch
a. Lay the foundation by doing a running
stitch. Take a contrasting colored thread
and bring it out from near the first running
stitch
b. Start following the Pekinese stitch
technique. Take the needle in through the
second stitch and come out through the
first, making a loop.
c. Continue this action of ‘looping’ using the
running stitch fruition, as illustrated.
d. Finish up the pattern for it to look like
this.
11.Running stitch
a. Bring the needle out at 1.
b. Insert the needle down at 2
c. Continue steps a and b, working right to
left, to make several running stitches.
Check that the stitches on both and wrong
sides of the fabric are of equal length.

16
12.Satin stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and put it in
through B. So, that makes a stitch that
covers a small area between the stitch lines.
b. Now, bring the needle back through C, a
point very close to A. Continue this action
over the two stitch lines.
c. Once finished, the area is filled as shown.
You will be spending as much thread on the
reverse side as you do on the actual side of
the fabric.
13.Split
a. Bring out the thread through A and put it in
through B
b. Take the needle backward to bring it out
through C. Note that C lies halfway between
A and B.
b. While bringing out the thread through C,
take it in between the thread, splitting it
into two
c. Again, put the needle in through D to bring
it out through B, splitting the thread
d. Continue this procedure to finish the stitch.
The only thing to keep in mind is to split the
thread when bringing the needle out. In
some way, it will give you a visual feel of
chain stitch

17
14.Seed Stitch
a. Make rows of short running stitches as
illustrated. You need not do row after row,
as long as the strawberry seed pattern is
more or less maintained.
b. Try not to bend with the curves of the
pattern. The rows of running stitch should
essentially be done in straight lines.
15.Stem Stitch
a. Bring out the thread through A and take it in
through B. Take the needle backward and
bring the thread out through C. Make sure
the point C lies over the stitch A-B.
b. You need to note that point C lies about
halfway through A and B. Also, note that C lies
on top of the stitch A-B. So, all the subsequent
stitch points will lie on top of their previous
stitch.
c. Take the needle in through D. Try to mark D in
such a way that the point B will lie halfway
through C-D. Bring the needle out through B.
d. So, the pattern of two stitches of the stem
stitch will be as shown above.
