We are often asked, "How is shuttle embroidery different from regular machine embroidery?" Standard machine embroidery is automated, with the machine reading the design and stitching it precisely. This results in perfectly uniform embroidery, with every piece being identical. In contrast, 《shuttle embroidery》 is a craft where the artisan manually moves the fabric while stitching the design. Because it is made by human hands, each piece has its own unique character. No two embroidered pieces are exactly alike, and the finished embroidery has a texture that resembles hand embroidery. It's an incredible craftsmanship that involves transferring the sketch to the fabric and stitching while referring to the original design, coordinating with the up-and-down motion of the sewing machine needle – just imagining it is impressive. Currently, there are only about 400 people in Vietnam who can perform shuttle embroidery. Of these, only about 50 work professionally. Furthermore, only 30 have passed the highest embroidery certification level, Level 4. Among them, only 10 can execute Pangandaran's intricate designs, which are considered particularly challenging. However, being skilled is not enough; embroidery requires a sense of artistry. Subtle nuances can significantly alter the overall impression. Therefore, at Pangandaran, we entrust our work to Hun, who possesses the highest level of skill. Hun, currently 46 years old, has been embroidering since the age of 15, making him a veteran of 31 years in this field. Moreover, he has a truly exceptional sense of design. We place our complete trust in him. Due to recent economic development, traditional crafts in Vietnam, like elsewhere, face challenging circumstances. Since 2000, the number of people capable of shuttle embroidery has been rapidly declining. While there used to be schools for this craft, now, skilled artisans train apprentices. Hun has taught four people so far, but he notes that there are no young people capable of this technique nowadays. With rapid economic growth, manual labor is being left behind, and the number of artisans is expected to decrease further. This trend is even faster than in Japan, and the national system does not actively protect these crafts. As a result, Vietnam's shuttle embroidery is on the verge of disappearing within the next decade or so. In this video, we had the privilege of watching the highly skilled artisan Hun create the "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please witness the beautiful embroidery brought to life with his assured technique.
