Mulina is a magic word for any embroideress - eyes light up, and pens begin to make grabbing movements. Mulina is a thread that is used in embroidery. From ordinary threads they differ in quality: they do not shed, do not burn out, they have a brighter and qualitative coloring, their thickness is the same along the entire length.
Firms manufacturers pay close attention to the coloring of the threads that they release, because the colors of the mulina must always be the same and do not differ from the first batch to the hundredth, thousandth, millionth. Otherwise, when embroidering, when the thread ends, all embroiderers would snatch at the head and shout: "What should we do? This shade in your store is not the same as it was before that. " And in all the pictures, where the needlewoman did not calculate with the number of coils, subsequently spotted horror would appear.

In order not to buy a shedding fake instead of expensive threads - take a light damp handkerchief to the store with you and forcefully stretch threads through it.

With strings, we sorted it out, and approached the very heart of the embroidery - to the canvas. Kanva is a textile on which they embroider. It is distinguished by name and country of producer, density, cell size and price. Choose the canvas you need for the intended purpose. If you plan to embroider a tablecloth or a towel - you are better off choosing a canvas from which it is easy to pull the strings. For paintings and tapestries, it is better to choose a dense and durable canvas.
It is best to begin with the canvas at number 14. With such a canvas is easier to work with, you do not need to strain your eyesight, as a result, even the smallest picture will look larger. On the other hand, if you take a canvas with a smaller cell size, the crosses will look more accurate, and the drawing will be more natural. But nevertheless it is necessary to be defined with the canvas after the choice of design, because one will look brighter if it is done by large crosses, and the other in this performance will look gross. The dimensions of the canvas cells depend on the number - the larger the number, the shallower the canvas. But still, when you buy a piece of canvas, insure yourself and check how many cells fit into one centimeter of the canvas and count the yardage you need for the design you have chosen.
