Embroidery is the craft
of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn.
Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as pearls, beads, quills, and sequins. In modern days,
embroidery is
usually seen on caps, hats, coats, overlays, blankets, dress shirts, denim, dresses, stockings, and golf
shirts. Embroidery
is available in a wide variety of thread or yarn colour.
Some of the basic techniques or
stitches of the earliest embroidery are chain stitch, buttonhole or blanket
stitch, running stitch, satin stitch, and cross
stitch. Those stitches remain the fundamental techniques of hand embroidery today.
