How do novices embroider Suzhou embroidery?

Suzhou embroidery pays attention to dividing silk, unlike cross-stitch which requires several threads to be embroidered together. This is a delicate job. A thread is divided into two strands, one of which is used for embroidery. This thread is also the thickest thread used in Suzhou embroidery. With the skill of needling, we will divide the silk again in the future.

Novice splitting suggestion: a line is divided into two strands, one with 8 strands, which is enough for novices to use. Of course, the finer the chopping, the greater the value.

The flower show method is for reference.

Beginner Embroidery This tutorial suggests starting with flowers, briefly introducing:

Embroidery method of leaves: broad-leaved leaves: leaves similar to peony are embroidered with needles. Start from the edge of the leaf and embroider along the vein. After the leaves are embroidered, we can embroider the lines with a needle roller. We don't need to reserve a position for the vein before, but we can embroider it directly on the embroidered leaves.

Needle-shaped leaves: leaves similar to bamboo leaves or orchids are embroidered with needles, starting from the top of the leaves, transporting needles to the root of the leaves, and then embroidering veins with needle rollers.
