French nodules are often used in embroidery. With their help, create a beautiful texture, small accents or, placing them rarely, give the air and ease of work.
Often, when embroidered French nodules, embroidery arises difficulties:
- The nodule is pulled out completely on the wrong one;
- The nodule is tied on the working thread earlier than the thread goes to the wrong one;
- The nodules are obtained different in size and shape.
To avoid all these errors, follow the recommendations below.
STEP 1
First of all, consider the technique of performing this stitch. Use the needle with an acute end to work. Thread should be on the front side. Wrap twice needle, as shown in the photo above. If you want to change the size of the nodules, then for this it follows the amount of merchants around the needle: once - small nodules, three times - large. More than three revolutions should not be done, as such nodules are losing the form.
Step 2.
Enter the needle next to the place where the thread on the face of the work. In no case, do not enter the needle at the same place where the thread is - in this case, your nodule will go to the wrong one with the thread.
Step 3.
Extraright carefully thread on the wrong way. At the same time, the opposite end of the thread end in the stretched position. It is necessary to have a thread to those pr until there remain a couple of centimeters. Then let it go and carefully reach the wrong one.
Step 4.
So you have to get smooth and beautiful French nodules.
5 Soviets for the implementation of the French nodule
1. Do not wipe the thread for more than three times around the needle. Such a French nodule loses shape, it blooms, has an inaccurated look. If you need a large nodule, try to take a thread of several additions and at the same time make classic two turns.
2. Leave the distance between the start of the stitch and the place where you insert the needle into the fabric. Otherwise, your nodule will take off.
3. The thread on the wrong way stretch slowly and neatly. If you do it quickly, the threads can form nodules that are seriously unraveling.
4. Keep the working thread until the last moment. It will not only save the thread from confusion, but also makes the nodules a properly clear form.
5. Use the needle with a sharp tip. Such a needle easily passes through the filament of the base, which allows you to enter it in any convenient place. While embroidery needles with a blunt end can only be between the bases of the foundation.
