Cross-embroidery - many favorite activities! I will tell you how to save significant amounts, while not limiting yourself in the work (embroidery with the cross of pillows, large crafts or rowdrop).
But there is a way out! Construction grid for embroidery cross (large cross) is a supernature. Only the grid is not ababa, but the "reinforcing, under the plaster" (in direct appointment it is attached to the wall, and the plaster is applied to it). Sale in any construction store. It happens different colors, I met blue.
In the store I "examined" a grid of 30 minutes, no less. Long and tediously measured cells, revenge the tip and looked at the "strength". Verdict: 90% cells of the same size (5 mm, that is, 1 cm = 2 cells); The remaining 10% is slightly different - 4-6 mm. Overlapping cells (mesh itself) - thin, smooth, and most importantly, durable - do not break when working.
And the price is a song! This entire roll (1 meter of width and 10 meters long) is about as much as one meter cutout of insurance. Improve, how much is the most beautiful you can embroider from such dimensions?
And now a report on the use of this grid when embroidery.
A scheme for embroidery with a cross (Maki) found on the Internet. In the original, it embroidered Moulin on Canva No. 14, and its finished size is only 46 cm x 17 cm (256 cells per 98 cells).
I recalcify the embroidery scheme on the Cell Mesh.
Cell width 0.5 cm x 256 cells = 1 meter 28 cm Length.
Cell width 0.5 cm x 98 cells = 49 cm Width.
Large, right? Here is such a size I cut off from the grid (with a reserve).
Immediately Tip: When working the edge of the grid, it is started to bloom a little, so before you begin to embroidery, it is better to miss them with a titanium glue (or shelter).
I embroider ordinary yarn in 2 threads. The yarn is desirable to take a thick, I take acryl.
Embroidery with a cross (the most ordinary countable cross). The color of the mesh is completely overlapped, as it should be. In the future, under the embroidery, it will not be visible at all.
The photo shows that light (pinkish) threads thinner than the rest. They embroidered not in 2, and in 3 threads. With close examination, the difference is visible. In the overall picture, on embroidery, not visible at all.
Further, below, specifically in the photo for comparing cells and embroidery textures:
On the left of the fabric large canva - cells of 4 mm - embroidery with a cross, thick yarn. Plastic stroke - a cell is larger - 6 mm - embroidery with a cross, thick yarn. In the middle of our grid - a cell is 5 mm - embroidery with a cross, thick yarn.
We see that the construction grid is also ideal as on expensive substrates!
The goal is achieved: the maximum result with the minimum cost of creativity!
Have a good mood and creative inspiration!
