CONCEPT NOTES
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 into the Orient by the Netherlanders in the 15th century. It was bought
by the Spaniards into the Philippines where it has made a wonderful growth, and work done it rivals the best
work done in Switzerland, a country noted for its exquisite embroidery. Embroidery reached its highest
development during the middle ages. The nuns in the convents were the first to make articles with embroidery
work during their leisure time. Since then, it became so popular that women started to enjoy it, creating
designs of their own. In the beginning embroideries were done by hand. But since the advent of technology
and the invention of the sewing machine, people are now engaged in the machine embroidery.
Today, because of the fast growth of the industry, elegance of designs and fineness of
workmanship, Filipinos export articles with embroidery work. Embroidery work is best achieved if
correct tools and materials are used. Tools refer to small or handy devices/instruments used in sewing
while materials or supplies are those that are consumed in finishing a project.
TOOLS
1. Gauge is used to measure short distance.
2. Tape Measure is use for measuring more than one-foot distance or materials
3. Thimbles are made from metal or plastic, protect the middle finger and push the needle while doing
your embroidery work. This come in sizes 6 (small) to 12 (large)
4. Embroidery hoop/stiletto is use to keep the fabric stretched while embroidery stitches are applied on
the design.
5. Embroidery scissor is for trimming scallops, clipping threads, and cutting large
6. Needle threader is use for easier threading especially by those sewers with poor eyesight.

Embroidery needle- a short pieces of steel with a fine point at one end and a little opening or eye at the
other. The kind of embroidery work to do and the kind of thread to use are two things to be considered 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 needle which is bent, without a point or rusty. This will affect the regularity and neatness
of work. Protect your needles by storing them in a needle case.
Crewell- sizes 1-10 are sharp-pointed, medium length with large eyes for easy threading they are used
for most standard embroidery stitchery.
Chenille- sizes 13-26 are also sharp-pointed needles but they are thicker and longer and have larger
eyes. They are that types of needles appropriate for embroidery that is worked with heavier yarns.
Tapestry needle- is from sizes 13 -26. They are similar in size to chenille but are blunt rather than
sharp. This makes them best for thread-counting embroidery and for the needle point as well.
Crewel-sizes Chenille-sizes Tapestry needle
7. Water color brush- use for transferring the design using pricking and pouncing methods.
8. Pin cushion- a place for pins and needles
9. Tracing paper- used for tracing designs.
10. Sewing box- use to keep together the embroidery tools and materials.
11. Bag - to keep work clean and fresh, have a bag made from washable material to hold your work when
not busy on it.

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
Common weave Even-weave Basket weave
2. 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 embroiders.
Proper Care of Embroidery Thread
As one of the most essential elements to the stitching process, it's important to ensure proper and careful
care of embroidery thread. Store it properly under controlled conditions to avoid the following issues:
Thread dents Lint buildup
Discoloring and fading Brittleness
