 Using Basic Tools and Materials in
I Lesson

This lesson focuses on the use of basic tools in embroidery. After going
through this lesson, you are expected to identify the basic tools and materials in
embroidery, perform embroidery stitches based on the given steps and observe
proper used of tools.
Basic Tools and Materials in Embroidery
Embroidery is the ornamentation of textiles and other materials with
needlework for personal use and decoration not only at home but for offices as
well. The term embroidery is an English word derived from the old French
embroiders meaning edge and border.
Tools – refers to small or handy devices/instruments used in sewing.
Materials – are supplies that are consumed and replace from time to time in
finishing a project.
Embroidery- the art of designing with needle and thread.
Fabric- any woven, knitted or felt cloth.
Thread - a very fine cord composed of strand or strands of spun silk, flax or
cotton used in sewing.
Design - arrangement of line, form, color and texture with the purpose of
achieving order and beauty.

Tools
1. Tape measure is a measuring tool used to measure more than one-foot
distance or materials.
2. Gauge is use to measure short distance
3. Thimbles is made from metal or plastic use to protect the middle finger from
being prick and pushes the needle while doing embroidery work. This comes in
size 6(small) to 12(large).
4. Embroidery hoop/stiletto – made of wood, bone, metal or plastic use to make
eyelets in the fabric to be embroidered. It is also use to keep the fabric
stretched while embroidery stitches are applied on the design.
5. Embroidery scissor – is small, sharp and pointed-good for fine work use for
trimming scallops, clipping threads and cutting large eyelets.
6. Sewing box is use to keep together the embroidery tools and materials.
7. Bag to keep work clean and fresh, have a bag made from washable material to
hold tour work when not busy on it.

Materials
1. Fabrics are sometimes referred to as cloth, which are of great variety and they
differ in material, weight, weave, design, color and finish.
Types of Fabrics
A. Common weave includes most tightly woven fabrics with a relatively
smooth surface like linen, wool and cotton. They are best used for articles
with decorative stitches .
B. Even-weave – are intended for hardanger embroidery since the number of
threads per square inch is sane for both warp and woof .
C. Basket weave – is commonly used by beginners and ramie linen by those
who have been used to this embroidery. It supplies guidelines for cross
stitch and smocking having an evenly spaced pattern like gingham cloth
and polka dots .

2. Thread is available in various types. They differ in terms of texture, fiber
content, number of strands and color. They are usually coded in numbers and

Embroidery Stitches
There are various embroidery stitches which you can choose from when
you do embroidery work. For you to gain more skill on this line, below are the
different embroidery stitches which will be your basis to produce embroidery
project/s.
Back stitch – the most often used to outline a design. This
stitch also forms the base line for other embroidery stitches

Bullion stitch - a single detached stitch that is used for

filling in a design area. Rows of bullion stitches may also be
used to outline a design. It is recommended that one uses a
needle with a small eye for ease in pulling .

Chain stitch - one of the more popular stitches used for

outlining. When worked in close rows, chain stitches make
good stitches for filling the design area.

Cross-stitch - stitched formed by two crossing arms and

may be used for outlining, as borders or to fill in an entire
area .
Split stitch - done using quite thick threads, such as wool.
It was used as an outlining stitch or as a filling stitch.

Seed stitch - also known as rice grain stitch. Stitch uses

simple straight stitches in a single direction to fill in
patterns. It has shorter stitches above the fabric and longer
stitches on the reverse side. They remind of strawberry
seeds, probably, which inspired its name..
Stem Stitch - basically an outline stitch, this stitch is
usually used for flower stems, and outlines. It can only be
used as filling, rows of Stem stitch worked closely together
within a shape until it is filled completely .
Feather stitch - a stitch with a loop and stitches evenly
worked on both left and right sides of a design area .

Fish Bone is a kind of filling stitch which is ideal for

making leaves or feathers. It requires us to divide the
pattern into two and each side is filled alternately giving it
a plaited effect in the centre, thus ideal to make leaves or
feathers
French knot is a single detached stitched used primarily
to fill in a design area. It is a popular stitch among
embroiderers in that it can be used to create the eyes on
an embroidered face or the center of a flower.
Herringbone stitch is a basic overlapping stitch popular
for its use in borders.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON

 Lazy daisy chain stitch is also called detached chain
stitch, this stitch is work in a circle to resemble the petals
of a flower.

Looped stitch - a very decorative stitch and can be

experimented with threads for various colors over borders.
Close layers of this stitch can create wonderful effects on a
pattern.
Satin stitch - a solid filling stitch that is used to cover a
design area with long, straight stitches worked very close
together.

Running stitch - considered being the easiest stitch for

outlining.

 Create Embroidered Article
Lesson
I
This lesson focuses on the creation of embroidered article. After
going through this lesson, you are expected to identify principles and
elements of design, create embroidered article based on principles and
elements of design, and apply Color scheme in creating the design,
transfer a design following the given steps and practice good working
habit.

Principles and Elements of Design

The principles of designs are concepts used to organize or arrange the

structural elements of design. These the ways in which these principles are
applied the affects the expressive content, or the message of the work.

A. Principles of Design
1. Balance – the design should be identified on both sides. In this principle it
may be formed in two ways:
a. Symmetrically or the formal balance – it can be described as having
equal "weight" in color, shape and size on each side of a design.
b. Asymmetrically or the informal balance – it is the opposite of formal
balance in which design have unequal proportion.
2. Proportion - A connection of all parts in a whole object. It refers to the size
and scale of the various elements in a design.
3. Emphasis –or the center of interest of a design. The eye catches the most im-
portant part of a design then to the other details.
4. Rhythm – These are smooth movement lines and colors which carry the eyes
along in motion. Rhythm can be created in three ways in a design.
a. Repetition b. Radiation and c. Gradation
5. Harmony - a relationship of different portion of design. This principle shows
repetition of line, form, shape and size to give a feeling of oneness.

B. Elements of Design

1.Line– It is skeleton or basic foundation of vertical or horizontal sketch.

2.Texture- it refers to the roughness and smoothness appearance of an object. It
can also be dull or glossy, thick or thin in appearance.
3.Color– is something that affect the appearance of project. It may be cool, warm,
bright or dull.
There are categories of colors based on the color wheel.
a. Primary Colors- are 3 pigment colors that cannot be mixed by any
combination of other colors. (Red, yellow and blue)
b. Secondary Colors– It is the sum of two primary colors. (Green, orange and
purple)
c. Tertiary Colors- It is also known as intermediate color. Colors are formed
by mixing primary and secondary color in the color wheel. (Yellow-orange,
red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green and yellow-green)

Color Schemes
The beauty of any color scheme depends upon how well the colors harmonize. To
harmonize, colors must appear to belong together.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON
8
1. Monochromatic Color– it is one color harmony in which uses the same
color in different values and intensity.
2. Adjacent color harmony - is also known as analogous color harmony that
are next to each other on the color wheel.
3. Complementary Color Harmony – It is a very pleasing color that are
opposite in the color wheel.
a. Complementary colors – directly opposite in the color wheel.
Example, red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet.
b. Split complementary colors – Uses two colors adjacent to its
complement.
c. Triad gives quite vibrant version of color. It uses colors that are
evenly spaced around the color wheel.

Methods in Transferring of Design

1. Tracing Method is a method which the design is directly transferred onto
the fabric. In this method it uses light sources, marking chalks or pencil,
tracing wheel and carbon paper.
2. Hot-iron Transfer— it is a ready made design normally printed in black,
blue, or gray ink which activated by the heat of an iron.
3. Stamping– or pouncing method is a common way of transferring embroidery
design by means of stamping and pricking holes along the lines of a design
using soft absorbent cloth, kerosene, newspaper and perforated design.

This is a lesson on understanding recycling. After going through this

lesson, you are expected to identify recycled articles based on recycled materials.

Are you
familiar with

What is
this
recycling?
Y E C R C L G N I

Recycling is the process of transforming items which already served its

original purpose but is still durable into something that can still be used for an-
other purpose is one good answer to the worsening problem of garbage disposal.
Instead of throwing away the scraps we have at home and totally waste them, we
can be more imaginative, creative and resourceful person by seeing potential in
waste materials. There is truth in saying that “There is cash in trash” All we need
is a little entrepreneurial skill and a lot of concern for environment.
There are vast materials that are locally available in your community
which you can recycle into useful and artistic articles for personal and home use.

Types of Recycling
A. Internal recycling - Involves the use of materials that are waste products of a
manufacturing process. An example of this is the processing of spent grain
mash, a waste product of distillation, into cattle feeds.
B. External recycling - Is the reclaiming of materials from a product that has been
worn out due to constant use. A good example of this type is the conversion of
old news papers and magazines into other paper product.

Advantages of Recycling
1. Decrease pollution and ease the garbage pollution.
2. Conserve resources.
3. Enhance creativity and resourcefulness.
4. Potential in making a profitable business.
5. Makes people environmentally aware.
6. Promotes scientific advancements in recyclable and biodegradable materials
7. Makes governments and businesses choose programs and apply policies in
consideration of preserving and respecting the environment.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON

 It is very important that we should know how to manage our waste. Waste
management is the proper disposal and recycling of trash. If you notice, recycling
has a great impact to the environment because of its role of converting the old
items into new goods. It is also a help of the environment to achieve a healthy liv-
ing earth. How can the old item becomes new? That would be our lesson for this
module. But before that, you should identify first the materials to be use in recy-
cling.
2 Forms of Recycling

1. Biodegradable Waste – It is the process of composting any decomposable

waste or trash such as food waste which is a form of recycling.
2. Non-Biodegradable Waste -are recyclable resources like
glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles including electronics and batteries.

Material Description

1. Paper It is a substance made from wood or other fibrous

material, usually used in writing, printing and wrapping.
Papers are also known as biodegradable waste for
composting. It can be recycled as Paper woven basket,
paper mâché’ articles, paper beads, paper sculpture, boxes
for gift wrapping, album covers and paper bags.
2. Plastic Plastic products include beverage bottles and containers
commonly used for liquid goods and body-care products. It
can be recycled as Planters, plant tags, plastic sculptures
and organizers.
3. Glass Glass is one of the easiest materials to recycle because It
can be easily crushed and ready to be melted called cullet.
It can be recycled to decanter, storage items terrariums,
cut bottles, bent bottles and glass tiles.
4. Fabric scrap It is any cloth or goods produced by weaving,
knitting ,Quilting and patchwork projects, rag rugs,
doilies, runners of hand stitched circles of fabrics, stuffed
toys, hair accessories, fabric flowers and collages.
5. Metal Example of metal is food or drink cans made from
aluminum and steel. It can be recycled as Canisters,
storage bins, planters, baking tins, candle holders,
kerosene lamps, metal art and water catchers. Make sure
to used aluminum foil to clean the cans.

To achieve a creative project and finished it successfully you must remember

to observed good working habit at your workplace.

1. Prepare and organize all needed tools and materials.

2.To avoid accident make sure to tie your hair before working.
3.Use appropriate tools and materials in your project .
4.Use scissors in cutting, not your teeth.
5.Put your scraps a plastic bag or in trash bin.
6.Work with your hands and not with your lips.
7.Follow the step-by-step procedure.
8.Clean your working area before leaving the room.

Common Materials Used in Recycling
There are a lot of waste materials that can be recycled. In cities as well
as in many rural areas, paper is one of the most abundant and available waste
materials. It comes in many forms like old newspapers and magazines, boxes,
wrapping paper, office waste, old telephone directories, and the like. Plastic
containers would come in second and tin cans, third. Used clothing is also
abundant. Also considered recyclable are glass bottles.
Manufacturing wastes like yarns and fabric scraps are also highly usable
materials.
The following table are the lists of the articles that are made from these
recyclable materials.

Procedure:
1. Roll out the wrapping paper. Be sure you have enough
paper to fit around the entire gift. Measure if
necessary, leaving a few extra inches to be sure you
are completely covered.
2. Once the paper is cut to the right size, place your gift
face down in the middle of the paper. Bring paper from
the long side of the box, up to the middle of your package.
Pull both sides tightly so the paper hugs your package
smoothly, and tape
3. Next, you need to close the ends. Face the open end
towards you and fold the right and left edges, pushing the
sides in next to your box, to form flaps.

4. Fold top flap down to the box, pulling tightly, and tape.
Fold the bottom flap up tightly and tape. Repeat on other
side of package.

5. Position box so top is facing up. Run your thumb and

forefinger across the edges of the box to create a creased
edge. Repeat on bottom of the box.

DECORATING THE PACKAGE

Make a ribbon to decorate a gift box. Follow the procedure below.

Materials: Lace, tape or stapler, scissor , thread or any string

1. USING RIBBON ( Ribbon Rosette)
Procedure:
1. Using a gift wrap ribbon, make a small loop by wrapping
this around your thumb; fix the loop in place with the
help of tape or stapler. Twist the ribbon back on itself to
form a pointed loop and tape in position.

2. Continue looping the ribbon in evenly spaced twists.

3. Continue winding outward in circles, until the bow is big

as your desired size; cut off the ribbon, leaving a tail.
Attach the rosette to the package; add trimmings and
tag.

2. USING RIBBON ( Figure 8 Bow and Twisted Trim )

A. Procedure in Figure 8
1. Work ribbon back and forth in loops in the form of
a figure 8. Firm ribbon works best. It may be easier to
make the bow in reverse position.

2. Turn the bow upside down and make the figure 8

small to start with, making each one successively
larger.

B. Procedure in Making Twisted Trim

1. Examine the ribbon. Find the natural curl of the
ribbon and which side is shiny and which is dull .

2. Grasp the ribbon at one end between the forefinger and

the thumb (if you’re right handed, places the ribbon in
your left hand, and vice versa if you're left handed). Keep
the dull side of the curling ribbon facing downward
(toward the ground).
3. Open the scissors with other hand. Contrary to what
you'd normally do with scissors, hold the scissors
upward, with the blade facing up and open. Wrap your
fingers around the middle of the blades and handles with
your thumb along the non-sharpened side of one blade
edge .
4. Press the blade firmly against the dull underside of the
ribbon with your thumb

5. Pull the ribbon across the scissors blade while

continuing to press with your thumb

6. Release the ribbon from the scissors blade

C. Flat Loop Bow and Spring Bow

Procedure in Making Flat Loop Bow
1. Make a loop keeping the ribbon away from you and
bringing it up and back to the center.

2. Continue making progressively larger loops, one on

the top of the other, until the desired size is reached.

3. Holding the bow together, tie at the center with

thread or wire to secure. Tie the loop bow to your
package.

Procedure in Making Spring Bow

1. Make a fairly small circle for the inside loop. Holding

where the ribbon overlaps, continue making progressively
longer circles.

2. When the desired size is reached, stick a straight pin

through all the layers at the bottom to hold the circles in
place.

3. Tie with the thread to secure the bow, leaving enough

thread to tape or tie the bow to your package.

Learning Task 4: Arrange the following steps chronologically. Write A for the first
step, B for second and so on. Write your answer on your activity notebook.

Gift Bags
1. For handles, attach a length of ribbon from one side of the bag to the other,
or use two smaller handles, one at the front of the bag and one at the back.
2. Remove the support box. Stand the bag upright and fold about 1 inch of the
open end into the bag, giving a nice, neat finish to the top.
3. Fold the paper over about 1 inch along the length. Using a box the size of the
bag you’re making, place the box in the center of the wrap, and bring the
two long sides of the paper together, taping them to one another. Be sure
you secure these loosely enough so that the box can be easily removed.
3. Tape one end of the package closed as you would if wrapping a gift box. Do
not tape the paper to the box at any point.
4. Start with a sheet of paper about twice as large as the bag you want to make.
