Surface embellishment is an important component of free form; it is a great way of bringing your
personality, style and skills to your work and putting your own stamp on your project. In fashion
designing, there are 1000’s of ways to embellish fabrics, garments and any other items.
Textile embellishment can take many forms, with pattern work following the suggestion of
nature, the geometrical abstract, fonts and lettering. It can be perceived as a subtlety, the
changing of color, line and texture, or it can be much bolder, using large-scale shapes and
patterns. Whatever the technique or suggestion for composition, the end result is always nearly
the same, to make something more than it was, to add decoration to enhance its attraction to the
individual.
Embellishment techniques are not only applied on the surface of fabric and textiles, it is also
applying any kind of decorative items. Ceramics, glass, metal, wood in fact all the major and
minor decorative arts, used embellishment, as a legitimate tool in which to decoratively enhance
their results.
The first step in embroidered custom decorated apparel is having an acceptable and accurate art
file to work from. All digital files are redrawn as virtual stitches to communicate the design to
the embroidery machine. The process for redrawing a design or logo as stitches is called
digitizing. The cleanest files produce the perfect embroidery.
Embellishment refers to the process of adding color, pattern, texture or design to fabric through
the use of outside mediums such as thread, ribbon, sequins, yarns, buttons, buttonholes and more.
Common examples of embellishment in sewing and crafts. Appliqué Embroidery, done either by
machine or by hand. An embellishment is a decoration added to something to make it seem more
attractive or interesting.
In addition to the multitude of construction and finishing techniques used, the fabric can also be
worked upon or embellished in a variety of ways to enhance its surface. Most embellishing
methods, such as embroidery, quilting, applique and bead-work are age-old techniques of
decorating fabric and are still largely executed by hand. A specialized industrial sector in
trimmings, lacework, embroidery and other embellishments has also developed that uses
innovative technology to recreate the hand-worked effects on an industrial scale and pace.
Hand embroidery involves stitching embroidery designs by hand onto the fabric. This process is
time-consuming and particular, but produces amazing results.
2. Quilting:
Quilting is the technique of embellishing fabrics stitching together, by hand or machine, multiple
layers of fabric with a filling of cotton, foam or polyester batting in between the layers. Quilting
is widely used for making bedspreads, quilts, comforters etc. Single-needle, hand-guided quilting
machines are used for making outline quilting, where the stitching lines follow the outlines of the
print design, vermicelli, which uses free motion all-over stitching patterns, and tarpon to or
Italian quilting, a form of ‘couching’ where a cord inserted and stitched between the fabric layers
creates a raised pattern. In mass-scale automated production, multiple-needle machine quilting is
used to make simple geometric patterns. In stitch-less quilting, multiple layers of fabric are fused
together thermally or by an adhesive, creating the appearance of being stitched.
3. Applique:
In applique, small pieces of fabric or other material are couched or stitched onto a base fabric. In
reverse appliqué, the base fabric is on top of the stitched fabric and the top fabric is cut out to
reveal the appliqued fabric underneath.
4. Patchwork:
Patchwork, used mostly for making bed quilts and cushions, is the technique of creating a fabric
layer by joining small pieces of fabric (traditionally scraps of old clothes or textiles) in geometric
or abstract patterns. Being a hand-worked technique, it is mostly produced on a small scale.
6. Lacework:
Lace is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand.
Lace is another Embellishing items on fabric. It is the very common and ancient craft to
Embellishing fabrics.
9. Batik:
Batik is a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. For
Embellishing fabrics batik is the very popular embellishment technique.
Fabric Manipulation:
There are different types of fabric manipulation techniques. They include: Embellishment
through addition, Beads and beading, embellishment through subtraction and construction
techniques.
Embroidery and Fabric Manipulation:
Gathering Tucking
Shirring Smocking
Pleating Quilting
5. Running Stich

Hand embroidery involves stitching embroidery designs by hand onto the fabric. This process is
time-consuming and particular, but produces amazing results.
Hand embroidery is basically embellishing the cloth with colorful threads and beautiful beads. It
is an art that is made with help of needles and thread creating beautiful patterns of design on the
fabric. The embroidery designs are delicate and influenced by Mughal designs.
As with most crafts, getting started on hand embroidery can seem daunting when you consider
the huge array of available hoops, frames, needles, thread cutters … whew, you get the picture.
But don’t be fooled! The list of actual hand embroidery tools is refreshingly short. We
recommend these tools to get started.
1. Over dyed threads have more than one colour in a single strand.
2. The crewel needle is a sharp-tipped needle with a medium-long eye slightly larger than the
shaft of the needle

Instructions
Keep in mind, when transferring your design whether it’s on light or dark fabric. Carbon paper
comes in different colors, and one of them is white. Using white carbon paper on black fabric
with ensure your design comes through nice and clear
Procedure:
Step1. Take that carbon paper and place it carbon side down onto your fabric, then place your
printed design on top of it. Keep in mind when you’re placing your image that you need enough
room around it to be able to hoop the fabric, so don’t put it too close to an edge.
Step2. Use a pencil, stylus, or anything firm and vaguely pointy to trace over your design. Don’t
use anything too sharp, or you might punch right through your fabric, and take extra care not to
let your design move while you’re tracing it..
Safety Precaution: Do not use too sharp pencil for it may damage the fabric
Quality Criteria:
Purpose:
The backstitch is great for outlining when you have a lot to do, but since the stitches tend to be
longer than others, it’s not quite as good around tight corners.
Instructions
The embroidery thread inserted on the needle should only be elbow-length to maximum. This is
to avoid entangling.
Tools and Materials:
Fabric with outline of the design
Crewel needle
Embroidery scissors
Embroidery thread
Hoop
Procedure:
Make a knot at the end of the thread.
From the back of your fabric pull your needle up at (1). 2
Insert it back at (2) according to the desired length of stitch.

Assessing work
This guide will also assist you to attain the learning outcomes stated in the cover page.
Specifically, upon completion of this learning guide, you will be able to:
Hand embroidery is completed in accordance with job order and workplace procedures.
Work is assessed for compliance with quality standards and production specifications.
To ensure the safety and health of workers, managers establish a focus on safety that can include
elements such as:
employee engagement
accountability
Purpose:
This stitch is called the French knot, and it takes a little bit of practice to get
the hang of. French knots are great for little details like eyes, or do a whole
bunch in an area for an amazing textured fill.
Instructions
The embroidery thread inserted on the needle should only be elbow-length
to maximum. This is to avoid entangling. To start, be sure you have a knot
at the back.
Tools and Materials:
Fabric with outline of the design Embroidery threads Hoop Crewel needle
Embroidery scissors
Procedure:
Step1. With a knot in the back, and pull your needle through. Once you’ve
pulled your thread through, grab a few inches above where it comes out of
the fabric, and pull it taut so you can control it better
Step2. Wind the thread around your needle twice for a nice large knot. Keep
tugging gently at the thread to keep it wound around your needle, and re-
insert the tip of the needle right next to where it came out. Do NOT place it
exactly where it came out, or you might pull your stitch out completely
when you pull the thread through. Keep it as close as possible to your
marked dot, though, so you get a nice neat stitch.
Step3. Once the tip of your needle is in the fabric, tug on the thread that’s
wound around the needle. The knots will slip down the needle to form a
small little knot at the bottom. Don’t relax the thread yet; keep tugging at it
gently so the knots don’t loosen.
step4. Now pull your needle all the way through your fabric, but keep the
thread holding the knots firmly but gently held as long as possible. You’ll have to let go
eventually to let the last of your thread go through your fabric.

should watch out for to ensure a streamlined garments quality control process:
Communication Gaps
To perform a pest inspection you’ll need a few tools. Items such as flashlights, flushing agents or
aerosols, magnifying glass and a pen and paper to record your findings during the inspection.
What to do: Garment suppliers and manufacturers should constantly communicate and
collaborate to ensure that everyone has the same level of understanding of product and packing
requirements. Addressing communication gaps early on will help address any issue that may
arise in a timely manner and avoid delays that hamper manufacturing timelines.
