This method of Pu embroidery, where you embroider and teach at the same time, is the easiest for students to remember and the easiest to impress them.

Shen Yue was obviously an assistant taught using this method before. The method she used to provide pre-class tutoring to Yin Yuan some time ago can be said to be in the same vein as the current formal teaching method of Pu Xiu embroidery.

"Thinness and thinness seem to be the opposite, but they are complementary." The key lies in "thinness". Only thinness can make it thin and dense. If the silk thread is thicker, there will be hollows where each needle meets and cannot be melted. It is made into one piece, 'only thin and dense,' even though it is thousands of threads and needles, the satin surface is still very bright and smooth after embroidery, just like a clear mirror."

"This is the first time I have felt this stimulation so intuitively."

"In short, you only need to remember that the seven words Qi, light, straight, even, thin, smooth and dense have their own characteristics and are related to each other. They fully reflect the laws and requirements of embroidery craftsmanship. When embroidering, you must master and apply this rule skillfully in order to embroider exquisite works."

"Do I need to read "Embroidery Manual"?"

"If you have time, it is of course better to read it. Later, Shen Shou's "Xuehuan Embroidery Manual" and some modern embroidery research monographs, Ding Pei's theory has been further developed. These books Xiang Embroidery They are all available, just ask Shen Yue, and you can ask her for advice if you don’t understand anything. In terms of theory, I may not be able to match her knowledge and knowledge."

Shen Yue was listening on the side and felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "I only know a little bit of theoretical knowledge."

"You heard it, Shen Xiaoyue is usually like this Versailles."

Pu Xiuxiu knows how to praise people at the right time to enliven the teaching atmosphere, but she can't be held out for too long at this time. She quickly re-invested in teaching: "Theoretical knowledge should be mastered first, but the more important thing is For specific operations, please see here.”

She started from the beginning, placing her arms on the edge of the stretcher, the handguards and the bamboo strips driving the edge of the stretcher: "The arms are usually placed here, and the angle with the body is about 30 degrees. If the angle is too big, , the arms and shoulders are at the same level, and it is easy to get tired. If the angle is too small, the distance will be too far and the vision will be damaged. It is indeed a sense of accomplishment to achieve good results in embroidery, but if it is based on sacrificing vision, It’s just not worth it. The posture is wrong and it’s hard to persist when you’re too tired, so you have to lay down the basic skills from the very beginning.”

"When holding the needle, you only have your thumb and index finger, and the two fingers are bent together to form a ring. The strength of the needle movement also relies on these two fingers. The remaining three fingers are slightly bent without any force."

"When I first started to learn embroidery, it was easy to break the thread because I was not used to using only these two fingers."

"Puncture the needle point downwards. It is best to make the needle point slightly looser and aim at the boundary line. The needles should be consistent to avoid uneven insertion and exit."

"When pulling out the needle, use your index finger and thumb to apply force. This force is one-third away from the needle nose. The force should not be too heavy. You should also pull up with your wrist, turn your palm slightly outward, and then stretch out your little finger to pull the embroidery thread. Just do it," Pu Xiuxiu demonstrated to him, "like this, the upper and lower hands should be coordinated to complete it."

"Don't use too much force, otherwise the embroidery thread will be too tight, but don't use too much force, otherwise the embroidery thread will become loose and loose."

"The priority of applying force with a needle is a very high skill. It cannot be taught by me. You must practice and summarize it yourself in order to become comfortable with it. It will take a long time, so take your time."

That’s it for the first class.

In fact, Pu Xiuxiu also talked about this when we all took a big class together before. However, people's energy is limited after all. She is one-to-many, and she cannot give guidance to everyone one by one to this level of detail.

Shen Yue is a very good teaching assistant, and now she even has to translate for Yin Yuan the contents of books that he cannot understand.

"I'm so tired," Shen Yue collapsed on the chair when she was about to get off work, "I can't do it anymore."

Pu Xiuxiu patted her shoulder: "You have to work hard. Most of the work of our Xiang Embroidery Workshop in the future will need to be borne by you. You and Yin Yuan need to cooperate well, so take care of him now, and he will be able to do it in the future." Help you share a lot of work."

Shen Yue was a little surprised: "He will also stay in Xiangxiufang?"

"Jiang Chunjun said that he wanted to be his boss, but in the end Yin Yuan wanted to train talents for Xiang Embroidery House. In the future, when we cooperate with each other, there must be a middleman to be responsible for communication. His current status is a natural bridge, and he has the talent. Yes, you are strong in theory and complement each other very well. In the future, it will mainly depend on you two to cultivate new forces in Hunan embroidery."

Pu Xiuxiu has her own mission to complete.

Some people charge, some stay behind, some are responsible for being the best, and some are responsible for nurturing seedlings. Only in the long run can Hunan embroidery develop better.

At this time, Yin Yuan had packed up the embroidery thread. He came over and asked, "Teacher Xiao Pu, the one you embroidered for me in class looks very similar to the composition of "The Fall of the Phoenix". Why don't you embroider another one?" ?"

The composition is indeed very similar, and the base picture is still the painting "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix".

Shen Yue said: "That embroidery must be done in collaboration with Xiu Chunguang. If you authorize it to them, why would you spend time and energy to embroider the same one again?"

It's not necessary.

So Pu Xiuxiu put on an overly pretentious smile and said with a slightly exaggerated smile: "Ah, you finally asked me."

Shen Yue and Yin Yuan looked at each other, sat up straight and stood up straight at the same time to look at her.

Pu Xiuxiu then said with a satisfied expression: "I have been prepared since the beginning of the Hunan Embroidery Competition. "The Fall of the Phoenix" is just the first piece of this series of embroidery."

Shen Yue cheered up: "Does this mean that the painting you are embroidering now is not "The Fall of the Phoenix"?"

But the original background picture is still "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix".

Yin Yuan asked tentatively: "Are you going to embroider the idea you had thought about before, how to incorporate Cupid into it?"

"Not really," Pu Xiuxiu admitted frankly, "Cupid just couldn't think of anything better at the time, but he was eager to make some noise and impress the judges first."

Yin Yuan and Shen Yue showed speechless expressions at the same time.

Pu Xiuxiu was so calm that she was almost naked: "Really, I'm not going to lie to you, the idea was gradually improved. I didn't think about it well at the beginning. I was under too much pressure. Fortunately, there was no big problem with the final result. "

Cupid is really lost, simply in the wrong place.

That's really good luck!

"Then this time you..."

"This time we don't have to deal with the national audience and the judges, so I'll just have to deal with you two," Pu Xiuxiu smiled slyly, "I'll use these hundred birds to teach you a lesson.

After a hundred classes, when you see the finished product, you will know what I am embroidering."
