Dividing embroidery into these two categories is based on the processing complexity and cost. First, let’s see what the two mean: the simplest thing about heavy embroidery is that the embroidery area is large and the pattern is complex. There are many thread colors and stitches. In contrast, the area is small, the pattern is simple, and the formation is few.
This classification is calculated in accordance with the current mechanical process. You can understand that it is high cost so much as heavy industry, it is just a word-expensive.
According to the materials used, it is generally divided into silk embroidery and feather embroidery, as well as modern bead embroidery, bead embroidery, etc. There are also three-dimensional embroidery in foreign countries. Generally, the lace flowers on some wedding dresses are also hand-sewn. It can be called embroidered.
There are four types of embroidery in China, namely Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery and Guangdong embroidery. The embroidery methods are similar, but the styles of painting are quite different.
The degree of fineness is also different. Su embroidery is the most refined, but it also divides the silk according to the price. The best is 1-2 silk embroidery. 1 silk thread is 16 silk. Before embroidering, the color is matched, the silk is split, and 1 is divided into 2 and then divided. 4 is divided into 8 and finally divided into 16 threads. The finer the pattern is to be made with the thinnest thread, but now all machine embroidery uses machine thread, which can be divided by twist or by strand, 3 General needle thread, 1 thin thread, but the thread is too thin and easy to break. There are also high-elastic silk threads for machine embroidery.
The simplest thing is that heavy industry is expensive, and the garment industry is called heavy industry for complicated and difficult crafts, and was later introduced into Hanfu embroidery.
