We are often asked, "How is shuttle embroidery different from regular machine embroidery?" Standard machine embroidery involves a machine reading an embroidery design and automatically stitching it. This results in perfectly uniform, identical embroidery every time. In contrast, 《shuttle embroidery》 is an artisan technique where the craftsperson manually moves the fabric to create the design. Because it's made by hand, each piece has its own unique character. No two embroidered designs are exactly alike, and the finished embroidery has a texture that resembles hand-embroidery. It's an incredible feat of craftsmanship to transfer the sketch onto the fabric and stitch it while referring to the original artwork, coordinating with the up-and-down motion of the sewing machine needle. 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 level (Level 4) of embroidery certification. Among them, a mere 10 can execute the intricate designs required by Pangandaran. However, being skilled isn't enough; embroidery requires a sense of style. Subtle nuances can significantly alter the overall impression. For this reason, we entrust our work to Hun, who possesses the highest level of skill. Hun is currently 46 years old and has been embroidering since the age of 15, making him a veteran of 31 years in this craft. Moreover, he has an exceptional sense of style. We place our complete trust in him. Due to recent economic development, traditional craft workplaces in Vietnam, like elsewhere, face challenging conditions. Since 2000, the number of people capable of shuttle embroidery has been rapidly declining, and there are reportedly no young people learning this skill today. As the number of artisans is expected to decrease further, Vietnamese shuttle embroidery is facing a precarious future, potentially disappearing within the next decade or so. In this video, we had the esteemed artisan Hun create the "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please witness the beautiful embroidery come to life through his assured technique.
