Ergonomics in the Art of Embroidery: Knitting and Art Tips for a Healthy Practice

Ergonomía en el Arte del Bordado: Consejos de Punto y Arte para una Práctica Saludable

Alexandra Luca Rusu |

Embroidery is an activity that combines art and skill, but also requires attention to physical well-being. At Punto y Arte, we are committed to ensuring that each stitch contributes to a masterpiece without compromising health. For embroidery lovers, we present a complete guide for an ergonomic and healthy practice.

The Ideal Posture : The basis of painless embroidery begins with posture. Sitting upright with adequate back support, with your feet firmly on the floor and the table at the appropriate height, is essential to avoid muscle strain.

Lighting and Environment : A well-lit work environment is crucial. Avoid eye fatigue and awkward postures by choosing a suitable lamp that imitates natural light.

Tool Selection : At Punto y Arte, we offer the highest quality hoops that make embroidery effortless. Our adjustable racks and stands allow work to remain at eye level, minimizing the need to bend over.

Hoop Supports and Feet : Our hoop feet are designed to hold your work at an optimal height, allowing your hands to focus on the embroidery without the added strain of holding the hoop.

Breaks and Exercise : Don't underestimate the power of regular breaks. In addition, it incorporates specific exercises for hands and wrists that strengthen and make them more flexible, reducing the risk of repetitive injuries.

When Pain Appears : Despite all precautions, pain may arise. In those cases, we recommend relief techniques such as hot or cold compresses, and if the pain persists, consider a consultation with a specialist.

At Punto y Arte, we understand that embroidery is more than a hobby; It is an expression of passion and patience. Therefore, we are here to support you not only with the best quality materials but also with resources that ensure that your embroidery practice is as comfortable as it is creative.
