Schiffli Embroidery Tops: Exquisite Craftsmanship and Artistry

Fabrics have long been embroidered by hand, but machine embroidery emerged following the Industrial Revolution. The schiffli embroidery machine was created after 1873, and it works on the same principles as a sewing machine. 

The term "schiffli," which is derived from the German word for "little boat," refers to a particular type of lace that is embroidered using the schiffli machine. Depending on the patterns, the production process changes. Approximately a thousand needles are used in the multi-needle loom used to create the schiffli embroidery top. It is possible to simply move the fabric back and forth because of how it is held up against the loom and needle. A lace design is produced by an interlocking succession of embroidery. The unembroidered areas on the fabric where the needlework is done dissolve in a chemical treatment, leaving only the lace behind.

Different type of variations of schiffli embroidery

Depending on the type of thread, colour, pattern, and fabric used, schiffli embroidery can be used to produce a variety of patterns with a three dimensional appearance. The following are the most popular types of schiffli embroidery:

• Eyelets, another name for embroidery with borer holes, are tiny perforations that can be created in a variety of shapes using metallic or fabric threads.
• Net like base fabrics can be used for Schiffli embroidery on net.
• The Guipures Embroidery is another popular type that is based on the chemical characteristics of the fabric. This embroidery is made with a water-soluble material, and the fabric's characteristics—rather than its outward appearance—are the main focus.
• In addition to the base cloth, applique embroidery also used a second layer of fabric. While the base layer is being embroidered, the top layer is rolled up and fastened.
• Finally, there are embroideries made with colourful and metallic threads. A very common variation is schiffli embroidery on the fabric.
