And in our article “” we told you how to decorate a Christmas tree with hand-embroidered toys. The New Year's embroidery patterns from this article will also help you in decorating the New Year's tree.

Preparing for embroidery.

You have 2 ways to start:

The first way is to go to the store and buy a ready-made embroidery kit. It includes a cross stitch pattern, canvas, threads, needles, and sometimes a hoop. But most often you have to buy the hoop separately. This way is quick, since you don’t have to select the threads according to the colors for the pattern yourself.)

The second way is to choose a pattern (see patterns just below in this same article) - go to the store and select threads of the desired colors, hoops, canvas and needles.

Thread selection. The best threads floss DMC, Anchor, Madeira. These threads are the strongest. With them, your embroidery will retain its aesthetic appearance even after several washes. To be sure that the thread does not fade, you can wash it in warm water and blot it with a white cloth; if there is no mark left on the fabric, everything is fine. You can also fix the color by rinsing a skein of thread in a solution of vinegar and water (3 tablespoons of vinegar, 9 tablespoons of water) and rinsing under the tap.

How to cross stitch.

1. We disconnect the floss thread in 4 folds.
2. Thread the canvas into the hoop.
3. We sit comfortably in front of your computer monitor with the diagram shown and embroider. (Internet traffic does not increase, even if you sit on this page of our website all day and embroider - I checked it personally. Traffic is only accrued when you move from one article to another, and if you have only one article constantly open on your monitor, this It's OK.)

In order not to explain in words where to stick the needle in and out, I give below a diagram for embroidering a snowman. And right below it shows:

1. How to do a line stitch (this is when we need to trace the contours of our embroidered design) (Fig. 1)
2. How to make a series of crosses at once (Fig. 2, 3)
3. Initial thread fastening (Fig. 4)
4. An incomplete cross stitch with threads of different colors (Fig. 5) is when, according to the pattern, you need to embroider not a whole cross, but only one half of it. And then, when half of the cross should be embroidered in one color, and the second half in a different color.

That's actually all the wisdom. Very simple and fast.

By the way, I did my first cross-stitch work without any outline, by eye, on a piece of ordinary linen fabric. And sometimes she used floss threads, sometimes sewing threads, and even thin knitting woolen threads. Time was scarce; you couldn’t find floss threads so easily, especially in my small town. And what do you think - it turned out to be a luxurious canvas with sunflowers.

So go for it. Let New Year's embroidery fill your home with warmth and festive comfort.
