I am often asked how "horizontal swing embroidery" differs from machine embroidery. With normal machine embroidery, the machine reads the embroidery pattern and stitches it automatically. This is why all the embroidery is uniform and exactly the same. On the other hand, "horizontal swing sewing machine embroidery" is a craftsmanship in which the artisan moves the fabric to stitch the embroidered picture. Because they are made by hand, each piece has a different expression. No two pieces of embroidery are the same, and the finished embroidery has a texture that makes it seem as if it was hand-embroidered. Just imagining the process of transferring the sketch to the fabric and stitching in time with the up and down movements of the sewing machine needle while looking at the original drawing is an incredible feat of craftsmanship. Currently, there are about 400 people in Vietnam who can embroider with a horizontal swing machine. However, only 50 of them can embroider professionally. And only 30 people have passed the highest level 4 embroidery test. Of those, only 10 can embroider Pangandaran embroidery, which is said to be difficult. But it's not enough to just be good at it. Yes, embroidery requires a sense. Small nuances can make a big difference in the impression. That's why we ask Hun, who has the best skills, to do our work at Pangandaran. Hun is currently 46 years old, but he has been doing stinging since he was 15, so he is a veteran with 31 years of experience. He also has a really good sense. We have complete confidence in him. Due to recent economic development, jobs for traditional crafts are facing tough times, and Vietnam is no exception. Since 2000, the number of people who can embroider with a horizontal swing sewing machine has been rapidly decreasing, and there are no young people who can embroider with the machine these days. The number of craftsmen is expected to continue to decrease in the future, and Vietnamese swing machine embroidery is destined to be on the verge of extinction within the next decade or so. In the video, we have the precious and skilled craftsman Hun embroidering the "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please enjoy the beautiful embroidery that is created with exquisite technique.
