== Introduction ==

Stamp sized embroidery to define small scale embroidery that roughly fits into a postage stamp area, i.e between 3 x 2.5cm and a bit larger.

=== embroidered Postage stamps ===

[[image:swiss-st-gallen-embroidery-stamp-1.jpg|thumb|100px|First embroidered stamp]]
Several countries now offer embroidered stamps. The first on was created [https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-post-introduces-first-embroidered-stamp/1533518 by the Swiss Post in 2000]. It was designed by Peter Hostettler, a textile designer from the Bischoff Textiles company in St Gallen. Austria publisehd a series of flow-based design.

=== "Stamps" in machine embroidery ===

The word "stamp" is sometimes used to design patterns used in embossed tatami fills, e.g. [https://www.premierplusembroidery.com/OnlineHelp/PremierPlus2/Windows/Modify/index.html#page/PP2W_Modify/PP2W%20Modify%2065%20PatternMk.10.11.html here]

== Stamp Size ==

Stamps come in various sizes, so there is no standard this size.

=== A10 proposal for embroidery projects ===

We decided to adopt A10 format (portrait or landscape) in order to laser cut series of patches. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#International_paper_sizes international A series] (Wikipedia) based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216 ISO 216]. According to Wikipedia, ISO paper sizes are all based on a single aspect ratio of the square root of 2, or approximately 1:1.41421, i.e.
:<math>\frac{a}{b} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41421\ldots</math>

This ratio has the unique property that when cut or folded in half widthways, the halves also have the same aspect ratio. Each ISO paper size is one half of the area of the next larger size in the same series. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216 Wikipedia]). In addition to being practical (as noted by philosophers in the 18th century), the ratio is also quite pleasant to look at.

A10 is defined in landscape as 26×37 mm or 1.0 × 1.5 inches, but can be used in portrait mode of course.

=== Typical postage stamp sizes ===

Cheap, standard series are usually smaller than more expensive "special" editions. A typical size is 2x3cm. Several countries allow designing custom stamps. These are typically larger, e.g. 42x35cm in Austria.

Germany:
* 21 x 30 mm, 44 x 26 mm, 27 x 33 mm, 35 x 35 mm, 55 x 33 mm
* 42 x 28 mm [https://www.meine-briefmarke.de/briefmarken/briefmarken-selber-gestalten/10-briefmarke-standardbrief-quer.html Custom stamp]

Austria:
* 42 x 35 mm (Customizable)

Stamp dimension is also defined by the amount of teeth, typically 10 to 14 / 2cm. According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postage_stamp_separation Postage stamp separation, Wikipedia], {{quotation|The standard for describing perforation is the number of holes (or the "teeth" or perfs of an individual stamp) in a 2-centimeter span. The finest gauge ever used is 18 on stamps of the Malay States in the early 1950s, and the coarsest is 2, seen on the 1891 stamps of Bhopal. Modern stamp perforations tend to range from 11 to 14. }}

== Anatomy of a stamp sized embroidery ==

Small size requires some adaptation:
* Since hand-made designs do have an interesting look, machine embroidery could use 12 and 30 threads, mostly working with line-based patterns.
* Detailed designs could be created with fine W.t. 60 thread and needles (size 60)
