What is the stitch of Huaxi Miao Embroidery?

Huaxi Miao embroidery is one of the traditional handicrafts of Chinese Miao folk, with strong local characteristics and ethnic flavor. In Huaxi Miao embroidery, the main stitches used are flat stitch and tie stitch.

Flat stitch: Flat stitch is one of the basic stitches used in Huaxi Miao embroidery. In flat stitching, the embroidery threads are interspersed on the fabric in a flat manner to form lines and patterns. The embroiderer uses the embroidery needle to penetrate from the back of the fabric, and then intersperses it on the front side parallel to the surface of the fabric, so that the threads are close to the fabric. Flat stitching is often used to embroider detailed lines, outlines, and to fill in sections of the embroidery.

Tie-stitch method: The tie-stitch method is a commonly used stitch in Huaxi Miao embroidery. In the zha needle method, the embroiderer uses the embroidery needle to penetrate vertically into the fabric and create a zha needle effect. This stitch is often used to embroider flowers, leaves, plants and animals with a three-dimensional effect. Through the use of different stitch depths and threads, a rich sense of layering and texture can be expressed.

Huaxi Miao embroidery techniques emphasize meticulous expression and exquisite embroidery skills. In addition to flat stitching and zigzag stitching, different embroidery techniques such as cross stitching, double thread stitching and knotting stitching are often used to emphasize the ornamental and decorative effects of embroidery.

In Huaxi Miao embroidery, embroiderers usually use silk threads, cotton threads and other embroidery threads made of different materials with colorful colors to make the embroidery works more vivid and exquisite.

It demonstrates the unique aesthetics and creativity of the Miao people with its unique stitching and exquisite craftsmanship. Through the embroidery works, you can feel the unique charm of Huaxi Miao embroidery and the treasure of national culture.
