We often get asked, "How is freehand embroidery different from regular machine embroidery?" Standard machine embroidery involves a machine reading an embroidery pattern and stitching it automatically, resulting in perfectly uniform and identical designs. In contrast, freehand embroidery is a craft where the artisan manually moves the fabric while stitching the design. This human touch ensures that each piece has a unique character, with no two embroideries being exactly alike. The finished embroidery often possesses a texture that resembles hand-embroidery. It involves transferring a sketch onto the fabric and meticulously stitching while referencing the original design, coordinating with the up-and-down motion of the needle – a truly remarkable skill. Currently, there are only about 400 people in Vietnam who can perform freehand embroidery. Of these, only 50 are actively working as embroiderers. Furthermore, a mere 30 have passed the highest level (Level 4) of embroidery certification. Among them, only 10 individuals possess the skill to execute the intricate designs required by Pangandaran. However, talent alone is not enough; embroidery also demands a keen sense of aesthetics. Subtle nuances can significantly alter the overall impression. Therefore, at Pangandaran, we entrust our work to Hun, an artisan with exceptional skill. Hun, currently 46 years old, has been honing this craft for 31 years, starting at the age of 15. Moreover, she possesses an outstanding artistic sense, earning our complete trust. Due to recent economic development, traditional crafts in Vietnam, like elsewhere, face challenging circumstances. Since 2000, the number of people capable of freehand embroidery has been rapidly declining, with very few young individuals learning this skill today. It is anticipated that the number of artisans will continue to decrease, and Vietnamese freehand embroidery is destined to become a fading art within the next decade or so. In this video, we were fortunate to have the skilled artisan Hun create the "Sudden Rain" embroidery. Witness the beautiful embroidery come to life through her precise technique.
