All About Embroidery
The art of embroidery has developed over centuries and every culture has contributed to the diversity of stitches and techniques, used in this form of decorating textiles.  Clothing, linens and lace can all be accentuated by applying unique stitches in simple or complex patterns.

From
white work to intricate lace, they all start out with fabric to be worked and thread to be applied.
