MAKING CALADO EMBROIDERY

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.

MATERIALS TO BE USED

The most ideal or appropriate kinds for this embroidery are the linen

and piῇa cloth. The fabric should be fine and light in weight. The warp

and the woof threads should be even in size

and thickness.Fabric.

Making the calado

embroidery is a sewing activity

so it needs several sewing

tools.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 all-

purpose, 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.

Needles and Pins.

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.Threads.

It provides a safe and handy place to store

pins. One style is worn on the

wrist for convenience. Pin Cushion

It protects your finger

while sewing.

Thimble

It eases threading of hand and machine needles . Needle Threader

It is slender, sharp,

and pointed.

Embroidery Scissor

It is a measuring

tool. Choose one that does

not stretch. Tape Measure .

It is a container where the

sewing tools are kept.

Sewing Box

Other materials needed:

This is where the design is drawn. Tracing Paper.

It is used for

transferring the design.

Water Color Brush.

It is used to keep the

embroidery fabric after working on

it. Cloth Bag.

DIFFERENT COLOR SCHEMES

The same principles apply to embroidery. To create your color

scheme, make use of combination of colors called harmonies.

Combination of colors based on the position in the color wheel

determines the kind of harmony or scheme used.

Stitches for

Calado Embroidery

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.

Running Stitch.

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.

Back Stitch.

It can be threaded in a similar way to running stitch. To

work single-threaded line, use a blunt needle to

lace the yarn under each stitch.

Back 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.

Stem 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.

Satin Stitch.

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.

Blanket Stitch.

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.

Fly Stitch.

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.

Chain Stitch.

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.

Lazy Daisy Stitch.

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.

Van Dyke Stitch

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.

PROJECT PLAN FOR CALADO EMBROIDERY

Name of Project: Table Napkin with Calado Embroidery Date started:

Date Finished:

I. Objectives

1. Make a table napkin with calado embroidery.

2. Follow the procedure in making calado embroidery.

3. Show creativity in making the calado embroidery.

II Materials:

linen 18’’ x 18’’ in

thread 21 bundles

sewing kit with complete sewing tools

tracing paper 1 piece bond paper size

water color brush 1 piece

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.
