Double-sided Embroidery
|
|
The double sided embroidery, also known
as double sides embroidery or two-faced embroidery, is a
technique in which stitching takes place on both
sides of a single transparent silk fabric. The
design shows on both sides (front and reverse). The
embroidery artists skillfully hide all the loose
threads and knots. Such
a piece is normally mounted on a wooden frame as a
screen. One really can't tell which side is the
front or the back.
The
embroidery artists always works on the same side of the
background, even though the picture on the other
side may be entirely different. She must keep both
images in her mind, which requires intense
concentration. When embroidering areas that are the
same color on both sides, the artist uses one
threaded needle to do both sides at once. When
embroidering areas that are differently colored on
each side, the artist uses two needles threaded with
different colors. She holds down satin stitches on
the upper side with couching stitches from the
underside. The couching stitches are not visible on
the upper side because the thread is so fine. On the
underside, the thread makes satin stitches as it
travels from couching stitch to couching stitch. The
result: parallel satin stitches on top and bottom in
two different colors.

double sided embroidery works can be divided into two
groups based on the size of the embroidery work.
1, Small
size double sided embroideries. Small size double sided
embroideries are used for desk decoration. The embroidery
size is around 16 x 25 cm, or 6 x 10 inches. The
embroideries are often seen in three shapes, circle, rectangle

rectangle embroidery are rotatable. By rotating the
embroidery, you can see the embroidery work on both sides.

In terms of embroidery techniques and skills, the double
sided embroidery can be classified as three types, double
sided embroidery with exactly the same designs on both
sides, double sided embroidery with the same designs but
different colors and double sided embroidery with two
different designs. It is extremely difficult to make a
double sided embroidery with the same designs but
different colors. As to the double sided embroidery with
two different images on both sides, the technique and
skill seem a mystery and only a very few master embroidery
artists know how to achieve it.
