EMBROIDERY


DECORATIVE PURPOSE
         It is the art or rather handicraft, of designing clothes wit threads and fabrics. It is done with the help of thread or yarn. The basic method of stitching is the same whether we stitch a blanket, or carpet or cross-stitch. It is upon the person to create design, color pattern or image. We can even attach beads, metal strips according to our need. Embroidery is usually used for decorative housewares , clothes, accessories like bag, muffler, cap etc or any other useful clothes.


          In Europe, embroidered clothing was a sign of wealth and prosperity for centuries. Primarily considered to be a woman's craft, history holds that Queen Elizabeth I of England enjoyed the craft, presenting her half-brother King Edward VI with a shirt she had hand-embroidered to celebrate his coronation. With modernization embroidery can be carried out with machines as well. These days  we have multiple head embroidery machines that take designs from an attached computer and sew them on the product.

          There are several different forms of embroidery, many with rich cultural histories dating back hundreds and even thousands of years. Most designs follow one of two basic concepts: either the design is stitched on top of the base material, or the thread is worked through the base material to form a flat pattern in the original fabric. A third popular design, called drawn thread or cutwork, is often used in lace making. In this form, part of the base material is cut out and the resulting hole stitched over with lace or embroidered with thread or yarn.

CUSHION COVER
          Most fabric and crafts stores 
offer books and supplies that can help the interested novice get started. Many also offer classes geared toward specific types and styles of embroidery. Embroidered work has started passionate romances and wiped away royal tears, entertained queens and adorned kings, given historians insight into ancient culture, and also can make an old skirt seem fresh from a designer's boutique. Becoming skilled at embroidery will allow the craftsman to create beautiful gifts and decorations that echo a long and rich history. These days there are embroidery books available in the stores, they are filled with ideas and features to inspire new as well as experienced embroiders.
