Greetings to all in your place :-).

At first I just wanted to show my last acquisition - a board, which so successfully became a tablet for schemes. But then I decided to make a few more photos, and show as in general I have been organized workplace. Suddenly someone can use my experience.

For a start, a few words about yourself and your embroidery experience. I embroider not very long ago (in comparison with knitting experience), started to embroider in 2009, first with a beading ribbons and icons. Further became interested in the theme of embroidery at a desire and was embroidered a house, my first picture. And after that, I already understood that the embroidery was tightened. Stated to look different methods It is more convenient to organize your workplace, I read a lot on the forums, I watched the layout of girls. At one moment, it simplifted her husband to make me an embroidery machine (for you agree that they cost rather not cheap, and 5 years ago and the choice was much more modest and the price is much higher). My husband went to meet me, I painted him about the kind of machine, and then he did everything himself.
This is how my face looks like. It is universal under the size of the framework and is adjustable in height. So I can embroider without worrying on which frame I was fixed with embroidery (and I have 5 pieces at the current moment) and it does not matter on the chair, chair or sofa.

By the way, we left the maximum of rubles 300-400 for all parts and fittings.

Further very important element - How to save your eyes, because they have a significant burden when we embroider. In this case, I have two table lamps of daylight. At the same time, with a built-in magnifying glass, which is very convenient when you embroider on very small canvas (I only embroider my tapestry with it), or for example, the icon of jewelry beads.
She looks like that

Purchased in the usual store of electrical goods. I cost me 600 rubles. For comparison in online stores, such lamps are cheaper than 1500 rubles, I have never met. And if you also consider the cost of shipping and transferring money, it turns out that all 2000 rubles. What can you agree to be invoiced for family budget. So again it turned out and improving ergonomics and not piercing holes in the budget, doing a favorite thing.

I also didn't like hard when I embroidered to collect ponytails of threads and periodically run before the garbage bucket. Since otherwise, periodically they clung to the sleeve, fell and dreamed of home. I was very stated by such a glove box in the house. And what did you have to run.
And then I was puzzled by finding a small trash, which would allow to immediately drop the ponytails of the thread and thus avoid and separated from classes and pollution in the apartment. That's what I now have, very comfortable, and sometimes even pretty

Further . For a long time went to this moment, as an opportunity to fill a few needles at once and embroider a certain embroidery section, without being distracted by the process of refueling the needle. BUT!. Everything coincided - right to the organizer. On the Internet there are only packages and they are not cheap again. From 700 rubles and above (this is without the cost of shipping costs). No, I'm generally not a greyhound, and I have a pretty expensive sets, and I do not communicate with the selection in order to save the expenses for embroidery (because I do not trust my eyes and a feeling of color, but to embroider and disappointed as a result - it's above my Forces). But I do not see what it can cost such money in this organizer here is Chesslovo. I didn't invent a bike here, I saw in several forums as the girls showed their fixtures in the form of foam tubes, which are used as insulation and asked her husband to buy me such a pipe. He bought me a couple of meters, all this was pleasure in 50 rubles. Then I simply painted the keys to the schemes of the processes that I now are most interesting, cut desired size Pipe and attached a key with a scotch. This is what one of my needles organizers look like.

And I have such a needle, with a little secret (for free and needles). I, by the way, knitted her in one of their adventure. Here it is my assistant

Now, now to the most guilty, who ordered me to write this post.
So, you have already seen that I thought about a lot and began to use it over time to embroider it was more convenient. But one weak place remained - this is the placement of the scheme. Oh, how much I suffered with this. Lies on the side on the table - it's not convenient, you drift the head constantly, it happens to lose the place of embroidery. I try to place over the frame - it fell periodically, again the paper is flexible, not everything is comfortable. And in order to cross the embroidered area - it is necessary to remove, put on the table, then you again place, somehow attach. Well, you understand, uncomfortable in one word. Returning again to fixtures in online stores. I saw these tablets. Stayed the same price. Tablet on A4 format (normal magnetic plank) cost 1.5 thousand. rub and the magnetic line is sold separately, worth 700 with excess rubles. What is it like? I personally sorry, yes.
That's what came to my eyes in the Children's Stationery department. This is a blackboard for drawing by markers. Check out yourself.

Any hobby requires a certain approach to his organization. In this matter, the need for needlework is no exception. And even on the contrary: Drinking by the same way for a favorite thing for a few hours a day is very important to approach your workplace with the mind, so as not to get tired in the first minutes, do not load yourself and not spoil your eyesight. Only achieving correct ergonomics can be given to sew or knitting for a long time, without experienceing the consequences for the body. Let's see what should be foreseen for this.

Proper Lighting with Needlework - Half Success

Our eyes are the most vulnerable body, which during the class of needlework is subjected to the greatest loads. In this regard, it is necessary to take care in advance that when embroidering light, the light fell correctly.

So, for the right hand, the light source must be left (window, table lamp), for left-handed, respectively - on the right. The ideal is considered to be the direction of rays from top to bottom, but this is possible only partially, and even if you use, to buy who took care of in advance. A special lamp for needlework is attached to it, and now the latter just can provide an almost perfect direction of light.

Also for the eye it is very important to pick up proper distance Before the web on which you make embroidery. Exhibit it so that you do not have to look closely to the picture, the scheme, embroidery.

Watch your back!

Holding when embroidered smooth back for quite a long time - the task is not easy. Of course, the perfect option is buy Machine Outdoor Embroidery And turn your workplace in a convenient and comfortable corner for your favorite thing. But this pretty bulky accessory is not always convenient to use. And just may not be affordable.

But if you are engaged in embroidery regularly and several hours a day, we strongly recommend buying at least the desktop or sofa variants of this device. Of course, the big pictures on them are not very comfortable on them, but there are a medium-sized work.

And if you choose no more than half an hour a day in order to do the needlework, in this case any holder is suitable for frames or hoops, including - and made on your own.

All threads - at hand

It is very important to position correctly near your workplace thread, which in some works can be ten and even more shades. For a convenient location, so that they are always at hand, there are special, which can always be purchased in the "Needlework Accessories" section. These simple devices are desktop or attached to embroidery machines with a special dresspit-holder.

A simple, but very practical thing can be much easier to ease your work, while the threads in organizers are not confused, extracted to embroidery easily, without damage. Similarly, we recommend to get a similar device for needles.

Small but helpful little things

In addition to accessories, without which it is simply difficult to do (the hoops, the machine for embroidery, the lamp) among the masters with experience are common and other useful little things that will help relieve work and properly organize their workplace.

So, there are, for example, which are attached with a flexible stand directly to the machine. Such a set will help to consider or embroider even the smallest details.

We also recommend to get a special handle with waterproof ink, a scheme holder, necessarily - scissors. And finally, come up with the whole of your scarb, a practical storage place: it should be inaccessible to other family members (especially for young children), and at the same time spacious enough to accommodate not only materials and accessories there, but maybe the unfinished work without harm to the latter

If you manage to properly organize a workplace for embroidery, you can deal with your favorite kind of needlework that in the end you will be solely pleasure, and no pain in the back and tired eyes.

When you have everything you need for a comfortable embroidery, you can start organizing a workplace. The first to pay attention is good and proper lighting. It will be better if the light falls on the left side, and even better to embroider in the daylight, but it is not much accessible due to their employment. Choose a lamp that shines the bore.

For greater amenities you can organize a small chest of drawers with drawers for your needlewood accessories. If you do not have such a chest, simply purchase the boxes or make them yourself, so you will be much more convenient to organize threads and needles. If you embroider with the use of an outdoor machine, carefully think about its equipment so that everything is always at hand.

Highly important moment - It is undoubtedly the handmade posture. The incorrectly occupied posture will lead to the development of shortness, problems with back pain and with eye fatigue. Your chest must be not compressed, but free. The housing is slightly feeding forward, and position the legs on the low stand if the legs are set, they can be pulled out everything on the same stand.

In order not to harm their vision, it is very important to control the distance between the eyes and working surface. This distance should be about 25-30 cm. If you prefer to embroider sitting at the table, then the chair or chair move closer to it.

It is very important how hands will be put during embroidery. Left hand Must be slightly at the top, and the rightmost should be above the hoop or frame for embroidery. At this point, you must pay attention to those who embroidered with both hands. If you try to embroider with both hands, note that your hands do not get tired, and also increase the speed, productivity of your work.

If you equip your workplace in such a way that your position during embroidery is correct, and all the tools and materials will be at hand, you can get the maximum pleasure from this process.

If your hobby has long been an integral part of life, then it is necessary to organize the workplace at home. It is in such a part of the apartment a needlewoman will be more comfortable to create crafts and products. And it should also be paid more attention to the competent filling of this place with various tissues, accessories and materials for needlework.

Experienced craftswomen do not recommend doing embroidery on the sofa or in a chair. After all, so you can very quickly spoil your eyesight and posture. Many needlewomen sit at the table and enjoy a magnifying glass and table lamps. But what if you do not want to sit on a chair? And the soul requires a comfortable place where you can sit, changing the situation? Let's deal with what the workplace happens for the creative process.

The main purpose of such a device is to hold the product in a specified position, which will be as comfortable as possible for the craftswoman.

You can purchase a machine or make it yourself from girlfriend.

For needlewomen, all the provisions of this machine are thought out. That is why you can sit in your favorite chair and create without getting out of it. Each machine has a special shelf for needles, canvas and other materials that may be needed during embroidery.

Some models are very stable, and they will be quite difficult to move or transfer to another room. And others are light and convenient for carrying. The most important thing is to install a special lamp that will illuminate the entire workflow. Only so you will not spoil your health. By the way, some machines are equipped with special supports under the feet. It helps the needlewoman do not spoil the posture, and the legs will not fall and root after long embroidery hours.

Suspended workplace embroidery

If you do not want to take too much space in the apartment, then the suspension cabinet can be the optimal work area. Such a wardrobe turns into the table when opening, it remains only to move the chair or chair. And you can proceed to embroidery! Similar places can be purchased in furniture store, and after equipping for any way.

Similar furniture systems are very comfortable, because you can always hide all materials from guests or child. And in the unfolded state, the master gets a real table, and any little things can be installed next to it. For example, boxes or bedside tables where everything will be located necessary materials or tools. A similar cabinet table is very easy to place in the kitchen or in the living room. Remember the lighting: Lamps and magnifiers will make it easier and speed up work.

Cabinet - Great place for embroidery and needlework

An experienced needlewoman is recommended to pay attention to transformer cabinets that will always maintain order in the house in the event of a large amount of creative work. The cabinet can always be an excellent way to organize the embroidery process, if you want to protect the small child from needles and scissors.

This element of the interior is ordered in factories or by an individual furniture maker, pre-creating a drawing. Photo can also be an excellent example. You can add a shelf or baskets on the doors and place various small materials or accessories and embroidery. By the way, do not forget about the holders for fabric or paper, which can also be attached to the door.

Engineering the storage room

To do this, you should first get rid of unnecessary things and old trampling, which accumulated in this room for several years.

Empty storage room can become an excellent workplace for embroidery, because no one will interfere with you or distract from work.

The table can be purchased in the store, as well as move your favorite cozy chair to it. And various shelves or mounted pockets are easily manufactured with their own hands. If you give the will of fantasy, you can equip an ordinary storage room and make a real cabinet for needlework from it.

Do not forget about the balcony

Balcony is a certain abandoned area in the house. Sickness, unnecessary things and bicycles are usually stored here. If you want to use this part of the apartment as your workplace, you will have to warm the balcony. Otherwise, the needlewoman simply freezes and caught up.

The window can be placed a small wardrobe for various trifles, and on the walls fasten the suspension shelves or pockets. You can also install a suspension cabinet on the balcony or put an ordinary table. Provide yourself warm coat The floor from which it will be easy to remove tissue residues or extra garbage. Think about the curtains and light. All this is very important for each craftswoman.

Lighting

Remember that any creative process It has a strong effect on the eyes and eyesight. That is why it is very bad to work with small objects indoors with bad light. Because of this, you will be much faster, and your eyesight will fall very quickly. To avoid such health problems, pay attention to the light.

If at home there is a lamp or a lamp, be sure to use it. It certainly strengthens the light from above, and you can always change the direction of clarification or rearrange the lamp to another room.

By the way, natural lighting is not always the most better decision Such a problem.

Bright and blinding rays of the Sun lead to quick fatigue if you embroider on a black canvas or make very small stitches. But it is not necessary to close the penetration of light and shook in it with curtains. After all, the sun is also an important component of general lighting.

Be sure to get a table lamp. Best of all, if this model is equipped with degrees of lighting. It is this that will allow the needlewoman to independently build the intensity of light, which creates the most pleasant working conditions.

And the lamp together with the magnifying glass is the most perfect mechanism for working with embroidery. After all, such lamps not only illuminate work, but also bring it. As well as in such models, special holders are also provided. They allow you to fix the scheme for your chosen embroidery.

The art of embroidery is known to people since ancient times. Many generations of women decorated their homes, clothing and interior items. Until this days, the original embroidered parts dated previously dated the XII century, but the images that have come down to us confirm that the embroidery technique of the cross was known to people much earlier. This species Needlework was distinguished by a great variety not only for used motifs characteristic of every people, but also various materials: Wool, silk, using pearls and glass beads and so on. Such art could not pass unnoticed, and as a result, many artists perpetuated the image of a woman with the flats in their hands.

Gradually, with the advent of progress and mechanization of the embroidery process, the art of manual embroidery has lost its meaning, but now, in century modern technologiesPeople are increasingly turning to their roots in search of a quiet island of rest far away from the noise and fuss of megacities. Needlework, cross-stitch, smooth or beads, again enters our life and becomes popular.
Anyone, professionally engaged (or even just fondant) embroidery tells you that the process of embroidery is extremely laborious, requiring patience and perpetuity. And, like any other small monotonous and long work, It has whole line deficiencies in terms of health and comfort. The most common complaints of embroidery can be attributed: frequent spine pains (especially in the cervical and lumbar departments), impairment of vision, pain in the joints of the wrist and numbness of the legs. All these problems can be solved by the right organization. the workplace of the embroiderers in the interior and acquisition useful accessories To facilitate labor. And do not forget that even such a detail of the interior as a small workplace should harmoniously fit into the common style of the room and correspond to the rest of the furniture as in color decisionand in the subject.

Organization of the workplace of the embroidery in the interior of the room.

First of all, it is necessary to correctly install the descriptive desktop. You can purchase a standard office table that, in addition to its high ergonomic qualities, is often equipped with drawers, swing doors (for storing all the necessary trifles), stands for stationery and additional features For greater comfort, for example, the possibility to adjust the height of the table and the angle of tilt the table top.

It is also worth remembering the principle of the arrangement of the school table: if you are right-handed, then daylighting should be left, if Left -sha is the opposite. The same applies to artificial lighting. As if we did not want to always embroider with a full-fledged sunlight, many needlewomen can give time to the beloved hobby only in the evening hours, which means you need to purchase desktop lamp. At the same time consider that the ideal option There will be a flexible cable lamp that will vary the angle of falling the light and help remove the superior eye tension.
The storage height for embroidery depends solely on your growth and the fives used. The most convenient option will be the hoop with the ability to fasten them to the edge of the table or a rack with an embroidery frame. Such devices will help you not only to free the second hand, but also reduce the load on the lumbar and shoulders. For most needlewomen optimal option It is a small footrest.

Recall that at the very beginning of this section we talked about harmonious combination workplace embroidery and general interior Rooms. Most often, needlewomen equip their working corner in the living room or bedroom, less often in the kitchen (if its size allows) or on the balcony / loggia. Last option It is preferable due to the fact that these rooms are usually better illuminated. Regarding the style of the interior, it is worth noting that the workplace for needlework will be badly combined with such design directions as modern, minimalism or High-tech. In the most extreme case, if there is no possibility to organize an embroidery corner in another room, you should thoroughly think out how it can be hidden. For example, do sliding partition Or put a mobile screen. Best of all, such a workplace will fit into the interior in the style of Provence, English, Shebbi Chic and Country. For these areas, it is characterized by the use of objects handmade and embroidered decor elements. The only thing that will require your attention in this case is a correspondence color Gamma. and furnishing stylistics (desktop, chair or chair, storage containers and so on).

Useful embroidery accessories.

Nowadays, there are many different accessories designed to alleviate the work of the embroiderers. This does not mean that you need to buy them all, but some of them need to have mandatory.

First of all, it is, of course, the hoops. The choice of fives for embroidery depends on your personal preferences and sizes of your wallet. There are round chambers, oval, rectangular frames ... Made from wood, plastic or even metal. Frames for embroidery on a special rack, flooring machines for embroidery, desktop and chamber having a screw mount on the edge of the table. In most cases, if you are not interested in professional embroidery, you will be enough to purchase two kinds of fives (or frames): large (40x40 cm size) for embroidery of large works and small (approximately 15x15) for modest pictures. It is worth noting that the clamp of Five often leaves the halls on the canvas, so many embroiderers prefer to work with the frame.

Canvas. Without it, we can not do. Even if someone from the needlewomen can embroider in the literal sense "on the fingers", without using the chamber, then without canvas, we will not work. The most popular option is now cotton canva special impregnationwhich makes tissue tougher and, accordingly, comfortable for embroidery. Typically, the size of the canvas is indicated by the numbers and the name of the manufacturer. For example, AIDA - 18. The figure in this case denotes the number of cross, which can fit on one inch of the surface of such a canvas. That is, when embroidered on Canva Aida - 18, you will have 18 crossings on one inches. Aida - 14, respectively, 14 crosses. It is not difficult to notice that the more the figure, the smallest crosses you will turn out in the end. If you embroider not for a set, and select the drawing, canvas and thread yourself, then it will be better to consult from the seller of a specialized store relative to the size of the canvas for a particular work.

Mandatory embroidery accessories can also be attributed to the needles and scissors. Be sure to tell the seller for the canvas which density you get the needle. From the correct correspondence of the size of the needle and fabric depends appearance And accuracy of finished work. Scissors are needed by an embroidery for circumcision thread and unnecessary fabric sections. Best of all will be purchased two types of scissors. Small, in size resembling manicure, to work with threads (remember that such scissors should have very sharp edges) and large.

Sorters or thread holders also belong to mandatory embroidery accessories. Without their help, you hopelessly confuse Moulin and you will not be able to quickly find the desired color. IN currently The range of modern shops offers us plastic holders, wooden and paper.

Magnetic and magnifying boards, as well as magnifiers are not a mandatory acquisition, but can significantly facilitate the embroidery process and make it more convenient. Magnetic boards They are a rectangular holder for a diagram with magnetic rules marking the place that you now embroider. Increasing - additionally help you read small characters. Loupes can be both on a conventional handle and on the fastener-clothespin.

In addition to all the above, shops of accessories for needlework can offer you various fabric markers: washing, constant and disappearing. Their appearance was associated with the need to draw the canvas for greater convenience of the embroidery process, and a simple pencil, unfortunately, not always can be removed without a trace from the canvas. The choice of marker depends solely on your desire.

And finally, all sorts of containers for storing thread-muuline, canvas, needles, sets for embroidery and other accessories. Experienced embroiderers do not advise use for these purposes common now, caskets for needlework. As practice shows, they are more designed for beading or embroidery beads. For embroidery Mulina, such manufacturers such as DMC and Anchor have special containers for convenient storage Bobbies Moulin and other related products.
