There are a few rules when embroidering ribbons:
- the stitch length should always do more of the width of the tape, as it will not straighten out and not get the desired figure;
- stitches can not be tightened, otherwise the pattern will not bulk;
- the tape when the need to maintain a free hand that she twirled and confused;
- stitch that did not work, you can always close the top with another stitch.
Below you will learn the basic types of stitches used when embroidering with silk ribbons.
STITCH "POLUMETALLY WITH PRICIPLE"
The needle with the ribbon should pull there and stretch to the left and up, make a small loop. Then perform the puncture slightly to the right of the first, holding the loop with your left hand.
This seam can be carried out both horizontally and vertically. They often sheathe the edge. To run it you can use tape width from 0.2 to 0.8 cm
Bring the needle and ribbon on the front side in the center of polumetally (Fig. 2A). Polypetala to fix small priciple, throwing the ribbon through the eyelet (Fig. 2B). Then bring the needle on the front side to the right and upward to perform the second stitch (Fig. 2B).
Fig. 2. Stitch "Polumetally with priciple"
STITCH "LOOPS IN A CIRCLE"
These stitches embroider many different flowers. Pull the needle and ribbon on the front side and to make the puncture very near the place of exit of the tape. Stretching her on the wrong side. In the formed loop to insert a peg or pencil (Fig. 3A). Then pull the needle and ribbon on the front side near the first eyelet. The first loop to secure the pin to the second insert a peg or pencil. To make the puncture on the underside near the site of release (Fig. 3b). In the same way to fulfill all the loops in a circle (Fig. 3b).
The middle you can arrange a bead or French knot.
Fig. 3. Stitch "Loops in a circle"
STITCH THE "LOOP WITH PRICIPAL"
The needle with tape pull on the front side and to make the puncture on the wrong side. A needle to withdraw there is a slightly higher output tape and get it over the needle (Fig. 4A). Make a loop and secure it a little priciple (Fig. 4B). Loop with pricipal (Fig. 4B).
Fig. 4. Stitch the "Loop with pricipal"
Stitch the "Loop with pricipal" is a variation of chain stitch and is applied only when embroidering ribbons. This seam can arrange leaves, flower petals.
The tape with the needle display on the front side. To do the loop counter-clockwise and press it against a finger of the left hand (Fig. 5A). To make the puncture needle on the wrong side just to the left of the exit of the tape and bring in the center of the loop (Fig. 5B). Tighten the ribbon and make a small prakrama (Fig. 5B).
Fig. 5. Stitch is the "Twisted loop"
STITCH THE "LOOP BOXES"
These stitches fill the base of embroidery, embroider flowers. The needle with the ribbon should be displayed on the front side and to make the puncture on the wrong side of very close to the place of exit of the tape.
This seam it is possible to do embroidery on bed linen and underwear, clothing. The seam is very sturdy and is attached to the underlying tissue additional stitches.
To form a loop and spread with a needle (Fig. 6A). To run a few more loops on the same technology (Fig. 6b). Then insert the needle into the ribbon of a different color and put it on the front
side in the center of the loops. To perform a "French knot" by pushing a loop with the thumb of the left hand (Fig. 6b).
Similarly, to make eyes at other eyes. On a narrow strip of "French knots", you can thread floss.
STITCH "POLUMETALLY WITH PAKRACANI ZIGZAG"
On the front side to perform polypetala with priciple. Pull the needle and ribbon on the front side to the right and slightly below the first polumetally and make a second polymetalic with priciple (Fig. 7a). Next loop to run to the left of the previous one. The fourth on the right. So make polumetally the right and to the left alternately (Fig. 7b).
Fig. 7. Stitch "Polumetally with pakracani zigzag"
This seam is used in various types of embroidery. Bring the needle and ribbon on the front side and to make the puncture on the wrong side at the exit point of the tape. Then connect the needle with tape on the stitch length on the front side inside the resulting loops (Fig. 8A). Then follow the rest of the loops are exactly the same as the first. You should get a chain of loops (Fig. 8b).
Fig. 8. Chain stitch
STALK STITCH
Is one of the basic stitches in embroidery. A needle with a ribbon to pull on the front side and make a stitch (Fig. 9a). Then carefully pull the needle with the ribbon on the wrong side, holding the tape with the other hand. To do on the front side of a puncture in the middle of the stitch, and then perform a second stitch in the same way as the first (Fig. 9b). Tape during the implementation of the stitches should be straightened and straight, and the needle needs a little tilt. In this case, the seam work is very voluminous (Fig. 9b).
Fig. 9. Stalk stitch
Stalked seam can bind the contours of the motif, to create a deck, as a basis for other stitches. In addition, it can be used to create stems and various curls.
STRAIGHT STITCH
This is one of the most common and versatile stitches. It is used when embroidering the petals, leaves and stems; used in sewing. A needle with a ribbon is required to pull on the front side. Then skip the ribbon with the needle on the wrong side, departing the desired length and hold the left hand tape, so that it is not entangled (Fig. 10). You need to fill in this stitch the entire pattern.
Fig. 10. Straight stitch
The needle with the ribbon should display on the front side. His left hand straightened to press the tape to the fabric.
Stepping back to the correct length, it should be pricked with a needle tape and the fabric and stretching the tape on the wrong side (Fig. 11a). This is not too much to tighten the tape, otherwise the stitch will turn out ugly (Fig. 11b).
Puncture can be offset left or right. The stitch will change slightly (Fig. 11b).
ELONGATED TWISTED STITCH
This stitch is usually performed by the stems. A needle with a ribbon to pull on the front side. The tape to twist several times and pull to wrong side (Fig. 12A). Stitch tightly (Fig. 12B).

The fabric is not to capture. Pull the tape until, until it is completely wrapped stitch (Fig. 13A). Then the needle again passes under a straight stitch from the top down and pull the tape. So to wrap ribbon all the stitch (Fig. 13B). The needle with tape to bring to wrong side and fasten the tape. Twisted straight stitch is ready (Fig. 13C). You can also twist several stitches. For this we need to perform a series of straight stitches. Then return to the beginning of the seam and wrap each stitch ribbon, by entering the needle under the stitches from the top down (Fig. 13 g).
Fig. 13. Twisted straight stitches
BASTING ZIGZAG
With this seam allows us to do a floral arrangement by adding stems and leaves. You should cut the tape to the necessary length and draw on it with tailor's chalk or pencil zigzag. Thread floss the same colour to carry the stitch "Forward a needle" on the planned line (Fig. 14a). Pull the string and pull the tape. Get a corrugated strip (Fig. 14b). I folded the short side of the ribbon and sew them into the ring. Then sew the resulting flower on the base. The middle to make beads or French knots (Fig. 14V).

BASTING, STRAPPED ON CENTER
This seam you can run into little roses or make a beautiful frame. Thread floss the same colour as the tape, you need to lay stitch "Forward a needle" in the middle of the tape along the entire length (Fig. 15A).

Hold the needle at a slight angle to the fabric, it is necessary to hold the tip under the ribbon close to the place of its release (Fig. 18a). To twist the tip of the needle with tape on the bottom and on top and slightly tighten a loop (Fig. 18b). To make the puncture needle on the wrong side as close as possible to the place of exit of the tape (Fig. 18V). Pull the tape from the reverse side, tightening the knot. In this case it is necessary to maintain a finger of the left hand, so he is not confused. The colonial knot is ready (Fig. 18 g).
