2. Needle embroidery is easier. The essence of the technique is to pull the threads through the fabric. The work is done from the inside, which is represented by loops, and on the front side - fluffy pile. To avoid the descent of the hinges, the finished work is covered with a solution of water + PVA glue from the inside. It is made of moderate viscosity, so that it does not seep on the front side. Carpet embroidery with a needle for beginners is more suitable than the knot method.
