The "chopped flower" embroidery of Dongxiang people uses a chopped flower needle similar to the needle of a sewing machine to embroider flowers on the cloth.

The principle of embroidery is the same as that of machine embroidery. When chopping flowers, the chopping needle is inserted straight into the embroidery, and then the needle angle is slightly wrong and then pulled out quickly.

Each time you pierce the embroidery, the silk thread should be pulled loosely, and when pulled out, the thread should be tighter. Use a single thread to chop back and forth, so that the silk thread forms a raised continuous pattern on the front of the embroidery. The pattern on the front and back is the same, giving a thick texture.

Plush feeling.

The flower patterns embroidered by the embroidery needles have fine needle angles and exquisite craftsmanship.

The light and dark shades of colors, the connection and transition of layers, are natural without leaving any trace, and the stitching methods are full of changes, such as sewing, picking, embroidering, winding, inserting, tucking, etc. They are flexible and diverse. The more you look at them, the more you love to look at them, and you are amazed.

Due to the large amount of thread used, the pattern embroidered by the chopper needle is full and textured, and has a three-dimensional effect. It can vividly and realistically express the dense scene of clusters of flowers, and it is quick to create.

Dongxiang women are all experts at embroidery. In addition to their dexterous hands, they also have a keen eye for discovering beauty.

Blooming peonies, budding apricot blossoms, flying butterflies, bunches of grapes, the bright moon... all the beautiful things in life can be turned into beautiful and moving eternal moments in their hands, expressing their desire for a better life.

Love and longing exude a rich traditional artistic charm.
