Fabric plays an important role in ribbon embroidery. This is what keeps the ribbons together and makes your design appear neat. Yard fabrics come in a lot of different styles, textures and colors. Different fabrics can affect the appearance of your embroidery, so it’s fun to experiment with the possibilities!
By the way, there are a few very obvious things to keep in mind when you select fabric for your ribbon embroidery project. To start, decide on what style of ribbon embroidery you would like to create. Do you have a certain design in mind? Once you know this you can select the right fabric that will match your idea perfectly.
“Stiffening” is one cool technique. This technique is called fabric hardening, and it involves saturating a piece of fabric with a special liquid that causes the fabric to harden and become more rigid. This is ideal for designs wanting a bit of depth and stand out more. Because the fabric is stiff it creates depth in your embroidery so it will look even more interesting and exciting!
Proper fabric preparation is very important before you get started with your ribbon embroidery project. To begin with, you’ll want to wash your fabric to take out any chemicals or finishes that can spoil the embroidery. Avoid heavily scented soaps as well as highly dyed products that may stain or be pretty rough on your fabric.
A very important step key is to iron your fabric. Not every type of fabric can tolerate hot irons, so always conduct a test of a small piece of the fabric to see how they respond to the heat. Fanshow recommends a pressing cloth, which is a protective cloth you lay on top of your fabric while you iron. That way the heat is still able to pass through without damaging or shining or burning your fabric.
Ribbon embroidery is fun art which you can be creative! You can jazz up using other fabrics to create unique designs that suit you. For instance, you can make flowers, leaves and vines in three dimensions or stack up ribbons on a number of surfaces so that your embroidery looks luxe and posh.
With fabric to ribbon embroidery, and lots of fabrics to choose from, Fanshow encourages you to be playful and creative! So don’t be afraid to play with it! Experiment with different combinations of techniques like felt or floating denim ribbons paired with cotton. This will give you a wider variety of evenly textured shapes and designs that will pop even more.
