Su embroidery is the most celebrated of the four main styles of Chinese silk embroidery, hailing from Suzhou and surrounding towns of Jiangsu province. Renowned for its subtle and refined needlework, Su embroidery is praised for its use of the finest threads, balanced compositions, dense stitching and smooth finish. Double-sided Su Embroidery Most famous of all is Suzhou's double-sided embroidery, where a single image can be viewed from either side of a piece or even different images on each side. Even more complex are double-sided embroideries with different images on each side. These require the artistto simultaneously embroider two different patterns, using one needle. Where colors on both sides are to be the same, a single thread may be used.However, where different colors are needed, the embroiderer uses twothreaded needles, stitching in one style above, and in another below.Double-sided embroidery is the most complex of all embroidery methods. A fine gauze or near transparent silk cloth is used and the artist must first plan the design and stitching techniques thoroughly before beginning a piece. Instead of tying knots, the embroiderer stitches over the ends of the threads, weaving them into the needlework. This is done in two layers--first using short stitches to hide the ends, and then with longer stitches to conceal the short stitches within the final artwork. Done well, the result is immaculate embroidery from any angle.
