Notable Hands - Craft - Embroidery


Let's talk about embroidery.

Beading and embroidery are techniques that usually get confused. Embroidery is the art if decorating fabrics and different materials with a needle and thread, or yarn - while Beading is the technique of sewing beads and sequins into fabrics.

Embroidery is a very exciting technique, because while someone can think embroidered fabrics look outdates, many luxury labels also used them to add textures and pattern to their original materials.

Embroidery entails everything from chain stitch, buttonhole or blanket stitch, running stitch, satin stitch, cross-stitch, when it comes to handmade techniques. However, embroidery can also be done by machine, but these pieces are less original and cliché examples.

Artisanal embroidery looks very unique, but once you know the basic technique, you can basically embroider paper, and furniture materials.
