Suggestions for material that suits embroidery

Hi All,

First time i am planning to do kamal work embroidery for my chudithar.Please suggest me a material type that best suits for embroidery designs.



Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Praveena,
First of all it all depends on ur practise. If u are well versed in embroidery , then take up synthetic material also, but if u r a beginner, it is better to take up cotton, i think.Again it depends, i dont prefer synthetic at all .I love cotton material. so, if u like synthetic, u can take up that also, but the next time after ur practise.Pls. wait for others comments also.Take care,bye.
Nithya.

Hi,
as a beginner try out in cotton cloth. dip in water and dry. iron it then use.
use a multi color cotton thread for kamal work.
eager to see u'r work soon.
bye.

Thanks u all for guidance ..


I have purchased the multicolour thread for kamal works..One think i want to know whether we have to take 1 thread or 2 thread for stitching.

Hi Praveena,
For Kamal kadai work,one strand is enough. How much is one thread? All the best,take care,bye.

Hi ,

If u are a beginner cotton is the best . Otherwise you can use any material u like.
