Saya memang tertarik dengan seni sulam reben. Oleh kerana itu saya join class online untuk belajar seni sulam reben ni. Memang perlu kesabaran dan MINAT. If not, memang tak jadi cantik. Bila da pegang, bleh jadi kemaruk @ asyik...

Baca-baca kat internet tadi, jumpa la satu artikel. Panjang! Saya buat summary saje.

Ada 5 basic stitches yang biasa disulam, boleh disulam menjadikan floral motifs and stitch patterns yang pelbagai. Ribbon stitch hanya untuk sulam reben saje. But, the lazy daisy, straight stitch, French knots, and stem stitch boleh juga disulam guna benang...

Ribbon stitch

1. Bring up at A, pull through.

2. Lay ribbon flat on fabric and insert needle at B, piercing ribbon and pulling through slowly. Ribbon will curl into B, so don't pull tightly, or effect will be lost. To vary curl, pierce B to right or left of center of ribbon width.

Tip: If ribbon appears straight and narrow, make another stitch on top of first one.

Lazy daisy



1. Bring up at A, pull through.

2. Make loop in direction of other end of stitch and insert at B, a thread or two to side of A. Pull out at C, in direction needle points until loose loop is formed, then stitch back down at D.

Note: To prevent ribbon from twisting when it's drawn through fabric after pulling out at C, arrange it around needle so it's flat. Gently hold in place with thumb while sliding needle and ribbon through.

1. Bring up at A, pull through. Holding ribbon or thread, lay needle on top.

2. Wrap ribbon or thread around needle two to three times. Insert needle at B a thread or two from A. Gently slide wrapped ribbon/thread down needle to rest against fabric, and pull through.

Stem stitch

1. Bring up at A, pull through.

2. Insert needle at B on stem line. Holding thread below line, pull out at C directly in line with last stitch (not above or below) and 1/8 in. from B, pull through. Continue to end of line, making sure thread is always held below line of stitching.
