Autumn embroidery patterns

A wonderful gift or just an interior decoration will be cross-stitch, autumn is the time of the year, filled with golden splendor. Regardless of the professional level, even a beginner can handle this kind of work. The main thing is to choose a feasible sketch to transfer to the canvas (fabric). Inspiration can be found in nature, thematic albums or in specialized stores. The last option is suitable for those who do not have enough experience.

Before you start looking for a suitable basis for work, you need to assess your skills sensibly. If those are not enough, then it is better to limit yourself to an image with a small amount of detail. What is autumn associated with? With multi-colored leaves and a soft sun, giving a familiar landscape a new sound. All this suggests that you need to use pastel colors without bright spots.

Regardless of how much work is planned to be done, it is necessary to adhere to several rules:

• The embroidery of the central part is always the most intense in terms of color scheme;
• The closer the craftswoman moves to the edges, the thinner and lighter the lines become;
• In order to cross-stitch compositionally complex figures, contrasting stitches are used;
• It is advisable to use thick threads only in cases where several large objects are located nearby on the canvas.

The correct composition of color elements is the key to success. On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid, as mentioned earlier, too bright spots. They do not allow a holistic perception of the work. On the other hand, there should be smooth light and color transitions.

How to independently embroider a cross "Autumn"

As soon as suitable autumn landscape found, it is necessary to carry out the most accurate measurements. Each element of the future composition must be placed with an accuracy of one cell.

Even a minor mistake is enough to have to redo everything. The easiest way is when the base is bought in a needlework store. In this case, all markup is done in advance.

If a we are talking about a self-found picture, then you can apply the necessary markup using a personal computer. It will not take much time, but it will avoid a large number of common mistakes.

After that, you can safely go to the store for necessary tools for work:

• The floss threads of the required colors are purchased with a small margin so that minor errors do not cause a long stop;
• Canvas - its density directly depends on the complexity of the chosen composition;
• Needles for embroidery - you always need to have 2-3 tools of different thickness and diameter, allowing you to embroider the central part of the composition and small details;
• A piece of dense material, slightly larger than the size of the embroidery;
• Sharp scissors for quickly removing excess fabric and thread;
• Among other things, beginners are advised to use a hoop.

Properly selected threads and other tools are the key to successful cross-stitching of images of any complexity. Before starting work, it is necessary to carefully measure everything in order to avoid having to redo all the work.

Beautiful "Golden Autumn": cross stitch

An experienced craftswoman always embroiders using the “in line” technique. Thanks to this, the autumn carpet of leaves or abstract shapes will look more natural.

In addition, it is better to refuse to use knots to fix the threads on the fabric. This is especially true for those who are interested in the technique of embroidery on worn gold.

The work begins with the formation of the visual center of the composition. If you plan to create geometrically correct shapes of images, then it is better to rely on shoulder straps.

In this case, the scheme is implemented as follows:

• It is recommended to make each line a maximum of 2-3 threads;
• The threads are fixed by pulling the needle from the wrong side to the front;
• Each successive stitch reinforces the previous one;
• The last operation is associated with the formation of a contour using the backstitch technique.

After that, both halves of our work need to be connected using a pin. It is advisable to pin them on the wrong side so as not to spoil appearance work. It is recommended to pull the thread in such a way that the loop remains on the outside.

It will not be superfluous for beginners to remember a number of other recommendations to avoid mistakes:

1. The needle moves first towards itself, and then away from itself;
2. The needle must pass through the loop;
3. The thread is tightened as tightly as possible;
4. The tip of the thread is always tucked under the eyelets of the seam.
