Due to its shape, the needle bar is not only unusual, but also comfortable and stable.
Such a needle bed stably lies on a flat surface due to its shape. It also turns out lush, voluminous, so it is convenient to stick needles and pins into it. It is good to sew from cotton or linen fabric (in this case - linen). Needles and pins should be well inserted into the fabric. Embroidery can be done to your taste. The main thing is that the figure should have a clearly defined center, since the needle bar is pulled in the middle.

Step 1
Draw a square on paper or cardboard - this will be a part of the needle bar. In our case, the size of the square is 10x10 cm. Cut a square.
Step 2
Iron the needle bar fabric. Determine the size of embroidery you want: it should fit in a square. Mark the embroidery lines and hoop the fabric.
Step 3
Embroider.
Step 4
Take out the embroidery from the hoop, press it through the iron. If the thickness of the fabric allows, as in our case, you can determine the size of the part by placing a square on the bottom. If the fabric is thick, use a ruler and a chalk / marker / pencil. Work from the front. Need a 10x10 cm square: outline its vertices, but do not draw lines.
Add 1 cm on each side and draw a square 12x12 cm.
Cut out a square with embroidery and the same square 12x12 cm for the bottom of the needle bar.
Step 5
Iron allowances of 1 cm to the inside of both squares. It is convenient for this to put in the middle of the template and cardboard and iron on it.
From the inside, outline the middle of each side of the bottom square (the one without embroidery).
Step 6
Now you need to sew the needle bar, but it is not sewn in the usual way. Thread a needle into the needle for manual sewing in the color of the fabric of the needle bar. Hide the knot and put the needle into one of the corners of the embroidered square.
Attach the corner where the thread came from to the mark in the middle of one of the sides of the lower square (see photo). Sew with a hidden seam, stitching the details from this mark to the left, until you reach the corner.
Having reached the corner, bend the part and continue sewing around the corner. Continue sewing in the same way until you sew the needle bar on three sides.
Step 7
Fill the needle bar with filler, remembering to fill the corners.
Sew the remaining stitch in the same way with a blind stitch.
Step 8
Thread a long needle into the embroidery color. You need to grab and pull the needle bar in the center. Leave the nodule on the underside.
Sew a few stitches through the needle bar. At the same time, sew on the outside to the center of the embroidery of beads or beads.
Sew a bead or small button on the back. Fasten the thread and hide the bundle under the bead.
Done.
