We are often asked, "How is 《Freehand Embroidery Machine Embroidery》 different from regular machine embroidery?" Regular machine embroidery is done automatically by a machine that reads the embroidery design. Therefore, all embroidery is uniform and identical. On the other hand, 《Freehand Embroidery Machine Embroidery》 is a craft where an artisan moves the fabric while embroidering the design. Because it is made by a person, each piece has a different expression. No two embroideries are the same, and the finished embroidery has a texture that resembles hand embroidery. It's an amazing craftsmanship that involves transferring the sketch to the fabric and embroidering while looking at the original image, coordinating with the up and down movement of the sewing machine needle. In Vietnam, there are currently only about 400 people who can perform freehand embroidery machine embroidery. However, only about 50 of them can do it as a profession. Furthermore, only 30 have passed the highest level (Level 4) of embroidery certification. Among them, only about 10 people can perform the difficult Pangandaran embroidery. But being skilled alone is not enough. Yes, embroidery requires a sense of style. Even a slight nuance can greatly change the overall impression. For this reason, we entrust our work to Hun, who has the highest skill at Pangandaran. Hun is currently 46 years old, but he has been embroidering since he was 15, making him a veteran of 31 years in this field. Moreover, he has a truly great sense of style. We have complete trust in him. Due to recent economic development, the workplace of traditional crafts in Vietnam, like elsewhere, is facing a challenging situation. Since 2000, the number of people who can perform freehand embroidery machine embroidery has been rapidly decreasing. There used to be schools, but now skilled artisans teach apprentices. Hun has taught four people so far, but he says there are no young people who can do it nowadays. With rapid economic growth, handicrafts are being left behind, and it is expected that the number of artisans will continue to decrease in the future. The speed is faster than in Japan, and the national system does not try to protect it, so Vietnamese freehand embroidery machine embroidery is destined to become a flickering candle in the wind within the next decade or so. In the video, we had the precious and skilled artisan Hun embroider "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please enjoy the beautiful embroidery being brought to life with his sure technique.
