Recommended tools to prepare when starting organza embroidery

I have used various embroidery tools so far, but I have listed the ones that I find easier to use.
This time, it is a recommended tool for embroidering on organza fabric.
We will introduce recommended chalk pens when transferring embroidery designs to organza, thread trimming scissors that are easy to do detailed work, and tricks to make embroidery comfortable.

embroidery frame

If you use an embroidery frame when embroidering, the fabric will be taut, making it easier to embroider.
It is a necessary embroidery tool when embroidering on organza.

About the embroidery frame size

When holding the embroidery frame by hand, we recommend using a frame that is 8 to 10 cm in size.
When fixing the embroidery frame with a clamp, etc., we recommend using a large frame of 12 cm or more.
I often use a 15-18 cm embroidery frame because I often use a C-clamp to fix the embroidery frame to the desk when embroidering.

Wrap tape around the embroidery hoop

Wrapping the inner frame of the embroidery frame with bias tape or twill tape will prevent the fabric from sagging.

This ingenuity makes it very easy to embroider.

If the cloth stretched on the embroidery frame does not slack during embroidery, it greatly affects the ease of work and the finish of the embroidery.

embroidery needle

The number 25 embroidery thread that is often used for embroidery uses a "1 to 6 thread" needle.

If you are buying embroidery needles for the first time, it is recommended that you purchase a set that includes everything from thin needles to thick needles.

The needle size notation method differs depending on whether the embroidery needle is a domestic brand or a foreign brand.

When the needle is bent or rusted, it is time to replace it.

iron chalk pen

Clover's White Iron Chaco Pen is recommended for embroidering on organza.
Since the other side of the organza is transparent, the embroidery pattern is placed on the back side of the fabric and traced with an iron chaco pen.
It's easy to use when writing a guide line for the angle of satin stitching, so it's quite convenient to have one when doing organza embroidery.
If you want to erase the draft lines, put a tissue soaked in water on it for a while, and the lines of the chalk pen will soften and become soft and easy to remove, so wipe it off with a tissue.
After that, if you lightly touch it with a low-temperature iron to trace it, you can erase it quite neatly.

thread cutting scissors

Thread trimming scissors are used frequently when embroidering, so choosing a scissors that you can easily use will make your work much easier.

My recommendation is "Clover's Cutwork Scissors", although they are not sold as thread cutting scissors.
I bought several other scissors and tried them out, but Clover's cutwork scissors are very sharp and the progress of detailed work is by far the best.

These fine-tipped scissors are very easy to use for embroidery, which involves repeating detailed work, and I've been using them for 7 years now.
Even when cutting embroidery patterns, it is sharper than paper cutting scissors and can be cut accurately to fine details.

When doing haute couture embroidery, I use it in all kinds of situations, such as cutting thin leather fabric, cutting thick blades, cutting thick twisted cords, and removing missing sequins with scissors.

When choosing scissors, I personally recommend "straight and pointed tips with thin tips" over scissors with curved or rounded tips.

The advantage of using scissors with thin tips is that you can cut small parts accurately, and it is easy to prevent the thread other than the thread you want to cut from accidentally getting caught and cut.

I've talked about scissors for a long time, but scissors are important tools that make various work, including embroidery, comfortable.
I would appreciate it if you could refer to it to choose your favorite scissors that are easy to use.
