In the last video, I showed you how to embroider with a Satin Stitch. But what if the shape that needs to be filled with stitches has a curved form? This form cannot be filled with parallel satin stitches. Today, I will show you how to embroider such curved shapes using the example of stitching a wheel.
Embroidery enthusiasts often master the art of satin stitch for straight lines, but the challenge arises when faced with curved figures that cannot be neatly filled with parallel satin stitches. In such instances, the conventional approach becomes insufficient, leading to confusion among embroiderers.
Navigating curves with satin stitch requires a different technique and mindset. Let's delve into the intricacies of embroidering curved shapes, using the example of stitching a wheel. Unlike linear designs, where parallel satin stitches work seamlessly, curves demand a more nuanced approach.
In this simple step-by-step embroidery video tutorial, you will learn how to satin stitch a curved shape. Curved Satin Stitch can be useful to you, for example, when embroidering a flower petal, rainbow, donut, wheel, or other ring-shaped figures.
When dealing with curved figures, it's essential to adapt the satin stitch to the contours of the design. Instead of relying solely on parallel lines, embroiderers must embrace a more flexible strategy. This involves adjusting the angle and length of stitches to gracefully follow the curves, ensuring a smooth and visually appealing result.
A recommended way to work the Curves Satin Stitch is to divide each section into smaller chunks. This helps guide and maintain the angle of the stitch. I do this division using stitches, but you can mark the direction of the stitches with a pencil.
As you work around a curve, fan your stitches. On the outer curves of the shape, the threads should be located a little further apart, and on the inner curves, they should be much closer to each other and more compact. In some cases, you can use the same holes on the inside of the wheel to turn the thread. The key is to make very gradual, incremental changes as you stitch. This will help you move around a curved shape while also keeping your threads close together so no fabric shows underneath.
Always bring the needle up through the longer edge and back down through the shorter edge. You can thread down to three stitches into one hole. If this is not enough to change the angle, make one more stitch a little short of the edge of the figure.
