Cross-stitch cloth is the basis of cross-stitch and is very important. The embroidered cloth of cross-stitch is in the form of a grid, with square eyes, corresponding to the pattern, and can be cut according to the size of the pattern.

Embroidery is to draw the pattern you want to embroider on the embroidered item, and a needle is embroidered tightly according to the pattern. Cross-stitch is embroidered according to the drawing on the wide white cross-stitch special cloth according to the cross-shaped drawing.

Embroidery, known as needle embroidery in ancient times.

bai, is the use of embroidery needle du color line, according to the design of the pattern on the textile embroidery needle, to embroider the pattern of the inner pattern.

kind of process. In ancient times, it was called "黹" and "needle". Because embroidery is mostly made by women, it is also named"Female red"。

Embroidery is one of China's ancient handicrafts, China's handmade embroidery process, has a history of more than 2,000 years. The main artistic characteristics of hand embroidery are that the pattern is neat and silky, the color is fresh and elegant, the stitching method is rich, the elegance is appropriate, and the embroidery is exquisite and delicate. As far as the stitches of embroidery are concerned, they are extremely rich and endless, with a total of 43 kinds of 9 categories, mainly including Qi needle, pick needle, set needle, needle, flat gold, dot, beat, knot, net embroidery, ice needle, pick flower, brocade, scale needle, hair needle, bead needle, etc., using different stitches can produce different line organization and unique hand-embroidery artistic expression effect.

For example, the use of needles, roller needle embroidery of rare birds and beasts, the silk is smooth, vivid, lifelike;The flowers embroidered with loose needles are vivid and fragrant, and the fragrance is simple and simple, and the state is full of beautyThe portraits and landscapes embroidered with random needles are changeable, the decoration is strong, the artistic effect is strong, and it is rich in folk and ethnic characteristicsThe use of dotted embroidery embroidery is quiet and elegant, very poetic and picturesque;The use of embroidery embroidery, it has the antique, simple and vigorous artistic effect and skills on the characteristics of flat, qi, fine, dense, harmonious, light, even, and smooth.

Embroidery minute hand method such as Beijing embroidery, Ou embroidery, Gu embroidery, Miao embroidery, card embroidery, Rong embroidery, Han embroidery, hair embroidery, machine embroidery, velvet embroidery, cut velvet embroidery, raffia embroidery, etc.

Embroidery is embroidered according to the pattern on the cloth surface, and it has many stitches. Cross-stitch is embroidered on a small checkered cloth with a cross stitch in the direction of the pattern.

Cross-stitch for embroidery is not to pay attention to other things, and embroidery is very particular, first of all, the needle is used differently, the general cross-stitch needle is a little thicker, and the embroidery needle is often thinner, the cross embroidery is generally embroidered on the checkered cloth, and the embroidery is indeed embroidered on the silk.

The difference between them is that cross-stitch is very simple for most people, unless it is those who really can't do needlework, then there is no way, and the cross-stitch thread is made of cotton, and it must lie in the cross grid to be able to finish, and embroidery is different, he can complete the work it wants to complete on different points, and it uses many types of threads, and it requires patience to complete, and for cross-stitch, Some of the more careless people can do it too, and, most importantly, boys can play too.

Cross-stitch is not the same as embroidery.

Cross-stitch is relatively simple, easy to learn, and the error rate is much lower, that is, it is not easy to make mistakes, and embroidery requires special effort, and the error rate is very high, not professional, and it can't be done at all.

Chinese embroidery is no different from cross-stitch at first glance. In fact, they have different roots and hide a different history. In addition to the effect of the finished product is a little familiar.

Let me compare them from three perspectives and explore their differences.

First, it originated in different countries. In the 4th century AD, cross-stitch spread from Turkey to Europe via Italy. It was a form of entertainment for the nobles of the European court to relax and relax.

At present, cross-stitch is not only in Europe, but also in the United States and Asia, such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other places, and women can be seen embroidering cross-stitch everywhere. Now cross-stitch has also formed a casual fashion trend in China, and the popular Chinese embroidery is under the influence of thousands of years of Chinese culture, and has been passed down to this day with folk craftsmanship. According to the silk paintings and embroideries unearthed from various ancient tombs, it can be seen that as far back as the Yin and Zhou dynasties more than 3,000 years ago, China already had gorgeous dark silk and colorful embroidery.

At present, the Shang Dynasty embroidery found in Henan is the earliest embroidery handicraft in China. This embroidery pattern is a diamond pattern and a chamfered wavy pattern, and the use of twisted silk threads at the edges of the pattern lines has reached a very high level. Embroidery impressions of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1100-771 BC) were found in the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Rujiazhuang, Baoji, Shaanxi Province.

This kind of embroidery adopts the stitch method of braided strand embroidery that is still used today, using double lines, the lines are relaxed and curled freely, and the stitches are quite uniform and neat, indicating that the embroidery skills are very skillful.

Second, there are differences in materials. Cross-stitch, especially modern cross-stitch goods, includes embroidered fabrics, threads, and color drawings with large, medium and small checks. Chinese embroidery is a craft in which various patterns are woven from various threads on fabrics.

Cross-stitch threads, needles, and cloth lattices are thicker than embroidery. Because of this, cross-stitch is widely spread and favored.

Third, there are many styles of stitching. There are several simple types of cross-stitch stitches, such as half stitches, full stitches, 1 4 stitches, 3 4 stitches, French knots and so on. And Chinese embroidery needles are diverse, more than 12 kinds.

All in all, cross-stitch is not as esoteric as embroidery. Chinese embroidery, like Chinese culture, has a long history and is a diverse art. Cross-stitch is easy to understand, understand the description of the drawing, basically can easily embroider the effect of satisfactory embroidery, novices are no exception. （

Cross-stitch is rougher, simple to make, embroidery is more delicate, three-dimensional is stronger, and the difficulty is high.

The difference between hand embroidery and cross stitch can be divided into three aspects, the first base material is different, the base material of cross stitch is thicker, and the bottom material of hand embroidery is a relatively light and thin silk base material, second, it is different in the material, that is to say, the line is not the same, the line of cross stitch is cotton thread, there is no luster, the embroidery line is spit out by silkworm baby, the silk thread is more shiny, and third, it can be intuitively seen that the difference between embroidery and cross stitch is that cross stitch is thicker and heavier, and embroidery is lighter and thinner.

The silk thread used is different, the stitching method is different, and the effect is not the same.
