Embroidery on a plastic canvas

With the development of technology, traditional materials are replaced by new, innovative ones. This trend is observed in all areas of our life, needlework and embroidery are no exception. Plastic canvas was added to the usual cotton canvas. Let's see what kind of embroidery on a plastic canvas is and what opportunities it opens up for us.

Plastic canvas has a number of features. It is tough, does not need to be ironed at the end of embroidery, and at the same time, it is flexible enough to create 3D embroidery from it. The plastic canvas keeps the shape of the finished product perfectly. Its edges do not crumble, it does not require overcasting. Not only the usual cotton floss, but also woolen thread and even thin ribbons easily pass through the cells. On a plastic canvas, it is more difficult to fasten the thread at the beginning and end of the embroidery. The reverse side of the finished work is noticeable, so it is better to close it. For this, needlewomen use felt, thick fabric, or sew parts of the product so as to close the wrong side.

Needlewomen with experience can buy a plastic canvas separately, in our online store "Handicraft Salon", and create their own project. For this, there are various variations of sizes and shapes: a plastic canvas for embroidering a handbag, for embroidering Christmas tree decorations with a special hole for attaching a suspension and rectangular pieces.
