Embroidery tools and materials
To create masterpieces and original gif.webpts for the New Year, you will need:
- natural fabric a little larger than the future product (so that later there was an opportunity to process the edge: hem or make a fringe). For tablecloths, use linen or a linen-cotton blend. Fabric for New Year's embroidery must first be washed and ironed, or decated - treated with steam and ironed. If a decorative panel is being embroidered, you can use the canvas. Now on sale there is a plastic canvas that does not need to be tucked into the hoop, which makes the creative process simple and quick;
- hoop for stretching the fabric. They can be wooden or plastic, it doesn't matter;
- threads - special for embroidery "floss", woolen or cotton. Use lurex yarn for decoration;
- sharp scissors with short blades, so that it is convenient to cut threads or unpick unsuccessful stitches;
- needles - better with a large eye to make threading easier.
Perhaps the most important thing in New Year's embroidery is inspiration and desire to create!
How to care for a finished Christmas product
Steam off the finished embroidery, iron it from the wrong side. If a utility product is being embroidered, i.e.you will use it at home, remember a few simple tips on how to keep the embroidery bright and colorful.
- Wash embroidered tablecloths and napkins by hand, or in the machine in a delicate cycle (cold water) with a detergent for colored laundry.

- Iron on the wrong side without waiting for it to dry completely.
