Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of craft embroidery technology, and in particular to a processing technique for the hidden grid stitch of Ou embroidery. Background Technology
[0002] Ou embroidery, also known as Wen embroidery, is a traditional craft of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Ou embroidery evolved from decorating everyday items. Early works included robes, theatrical costumes, and longevity screens, later expanding to include landscapes, figures, animals, and calligraphy, possessing high aesthetic and decorative value. Ou embroidery has a long history, originating from the embroidery practiced by women in their workshops. Analyzing its stitching techniques, it evolved from the brocade garments of the Tang Dynasty. During the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Wenzhou's increasingly developed external transportation allowed Ou embroidery to absorb the strengths of other arts, maturing in technique and developing its own unique style. By the late Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Ou embroidery was very popular in Wenzhou, with a tradition of young women embroidering ("eleventh and twelfth-year-old girls comb their hair, thirteenth-year-old girls teach embroidery") and the custom of giving embroidered skirts as betrothal gifts to young men and women. At that time, many embroidery shops took on embroidery work for official robes, theatrical costumes, and cheongsams, and their businesses flourished. Ou embroidery features simple compositions, vibrant colors, meticulous needlework, flexible and varied needlework techniques, clear embroidery principles, and a glossy surface, showcasing the unique regional characteristics of Dong'ou. Integrating the beauty of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery, Ou embroidery emphasizes the unity of needlework, brushwork, and the principles of depicting objects, demonstrating superb craftsmanship and profound traditional cultural connotations.
[0003] In existing technologies, embroidery products are usually flat products. Although different color combinations can present aesthetically pleasing patterns, the same pattern is observed from every angle with the aid of changes in light and shadow, thus failing to reflect the texture and realism of the embroidery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a processing technology for the hidden grid stitch of Ou embroidery to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: a process for processing Ou embroidery using the hidden grid stitch method, comprising a base fabric, an embroidery needle, and embroidery thread, wherein the embroidery needle and embroidery thread are used to embroider the background pattern on the base fabric, including the following embroidery method:
[0006] Step 1: Select fabric as the base fabric, cut the fabric to the required size and stretch it;
[0007] Step 2: Select the background pattern on the base fabric;
[0008] Step 3: Select embroidery threads of different colors and materials according to the background pattern chosen for the base fabric;
[0009] Step 4: Use embroidery thread and the stitching method to embroider the outline. Embroider several squares within the outline. Embroider diagonal lines within each square to divide the square into two triangular grids. The triangles within each square can form parallelograms with the adjacent triangles between adjacent grids.
[0010] Step 5: Embroider the grid according to the desired pattern or leave it unembroidered. When embroidering, embroider along the triangular edge of the grid from the outside to the inside, starting from point A to point B, then from point B to point C, and then from point C to point A to form a circle. Continue embroidering in this way for 4-200 circles, leaving a gap between each circle.
[0011] Step 6: Stretch down;
[0012] Step 7: Mounting.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, this method can present different visual experiences of embroidery patterns from different perspectives. Moreover, if this embroidery method is used on embroidered clothing, different clothing patterns can be presented, and the overall realism is higher, greatly enhancing the aesthetic appeal. This embroidery method can improve the texture and realism of any pattern, making the embroidery more lifelike and realistic. The number of embroidery circles is determined according to the size of the squares and grids. Embroidering a grid to its full size completes the embroidery of a grid.
[0014] The invention is further configured such that the embroidery thread is a light-colored silk thread.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, light-colored threads can easily utilize the light and shadow effects created by the light source and the reflective effect to enhance the overall visual transformation effect, greatly improving the visual experience and realism.
[0016] The invention is further configured such that, in the third step, the embroidery thread is split into 1 / 20 of a single thread, which is called a single thread.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, splitting the thread is a common step in the embroidery process. Skilled embroiderers can split a single embroidery thread into multiple strands. Splitting the embroidery thread into 20 strands makes it easier to thread the needle, and also achieves the best effect of alternating light and dark after embroidery.
[0018] The invention is further configured such that, in the fifth step, the spacing is a mil distance.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the slight gap between each loop of thread will not be noticeable, and the effect of light and shadow changes under the light source will be improved, thereby enhancing the three-dimensionality and brightness.
[0020] The invention is further configured such that, in the fifth step, the embroidery of the grid is arranged according to requirements.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, different arrangement methods can show different visual effects. The arrangement process follows the same order, that is, if one square is embroidered in a square, then it is embroidered in the same way in the diagonal, horizontal or vertical direction, and arranged in this order.
[0022] The invention is further configured such that the pattern on the base fabric can be printed by laser printing or manually traced; if laser printing is used, the second step is before the first step.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, laser printing requires completion before stretching, while manual copying of background patterns requires stretching before copying, and stretching the bottom makes the pattern less prone to deformation.
[0024] The present invention is further configured such that the embroidery thread can be 100% mulberry silk.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, mulberry silk, known as the "Queen of Fibers," possesses characteristics such as being flowing and smooth, soft and breathable, elegant and luxurious, brightly colored, dazzling, and having excellent moisture absorption, breathability, and drape. Using mulberry silk can further enhance the texture. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this invention discloses a process for processing Ou embroidery using the hidden grid stitch technique, including a base fabric, an embroidery needle, and embroidery thread. The embroidery needle and thread are used to embroider a background pattern on the base fabric, including the following embroidery method:
[0035] Step 1: Select fabric as base fabric 1, cut the fabric to the required size and stretch it;
[0036] Step 2: Select the background pattern on base fabric 1;
[0037] Step 3: Select embroidery threads of different colors and materials according to the background pattern chosen for base fabric 1;
[0038] Step 4: Use embroidery thread and the stitching method to embroider the outline. Embroider several squares within the outline. Embroider diagonal lines within each square to divide the square into two triangular grids 2. The triangles within each square can form parallelograms with the adjacent triangles between adjacent grids 2.
[0039] Step 5: Embroider or leave unembroidered on grid 2 according to the desired pattern. When embroidering, embroider along the triangular edge of grid 2 from the outside to the inside, starting from point A to point B, then from point B to point C, and then from point C to point A to form a circle. Continue embroidering in this way for 4-200 circles, leaving a gap between each circle.
[0040] Step 6: Stretch down;
[0041] Step 7: Mounting.
[0042] This method can be used to embroider the entire fabric, or it can be combined with traditional embroidery methods. This method can also be used where needed.
[0043] In step five, points A, B, and C are illustrative points, used only to describe the order of embroidery. You can start embroidering from any of these three points.
[0044] The grid can be rectangular, square, or rhomboid.
[0045] This method allows for different visual experiences of the embroidery from different perspectives. Furthermore, when used on embroidered clothing, it can present different patterns and designs, resulting in a higher overall realism. This method enhances the texture and realism of any pattern, making the embroidery more lifelike and realistic. The number of embroidery circles is determined by the size of the squares and the grid. Embroidering a grid to its fullest extent completes the embroidery of that grid.
[0046] The embroidery thread is light-colored silk. Light-colored silk thread makes it easier to utilize the light and shadow effects created by the light source and the reflective effect, enhancing the overall visual transformation and greatly improving the appearance and realism.
[0047] In the third step, the embroidery thread is split into 1 / 20 strands, which is called a single thread. Splitting the thread is a common step in embroidery. Skilled embroiderers can split a single thread into multiple strands. Splitting the thread into 20 strands makes it easier to thread the needle, and also creates the best effect of alternating light and dark after embroidery.
[0048] Because embroidery thread comes in various sizes, its specific diameter cannot be defined; this distance is only 1 / 20th the length of the embroidery thread.
[0049] In the fifth step, the spacing is one thread. Leaving a one-thread gap between each loop of thread eliminates any visible gaps and enhances the effect of light and shadow variations under light, thereby improving the sense of three-dimensionality and enhancing the brightness.
[0050] In the fifth step, the embroidery of the grid is arranged according to requirements. Different arrangements can create different visual effects.
[0051] The pattern on the base fabric can be laser printed or hand-traced. If laser printing is used, the second step should be done before the first step. Laser printing needs to be completed before stretching, while hand-traced background patterns need to be stretched first and then traced to prevent deformation.
[0052] The embroidery thread is made of 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is known as the "Queen of Fibers" and has the characteristics of being flowing and smooth, soft and breathable, elegant and luxurious, brightly colored, dazzling, and having excellent moisture absorption, breathability and drape. Using mulberry silk can further enhance the texture.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
