      Introduction To Embroidery 

      Embroidery is an ancient needlework technique that is believed to have originated in China. And like some artforms it could have evolved from unintended purposes like maybe stitching to join fabric or patchwork. It is not exactly known when embroidery was used primarily for art and decoration, but its influence moved across the Middle East then Europe. 

      The purpose of embroidering fabric like aprons, pillow & cushion covers, T-shirtscaps, blankets, shirts, denim, or even dresses is basically stitching a pattern using a needle and thread. Some embroidery styles include running the thread through beads, sequins, mirrors, or semi-precious stones. 

      Styles and stitches have evolved over the years and each region across the globe has some sort of uniqueness that depended on the materials used and occasion. Although an art form is predominantly done by handwith the emergence of technology we have seen automated computerized embroidery machines produce fine and detailed results.

      How to select embroidery threads 

      There are different embroidery threads types, which is why it's important to know what thread to use for your project as it affects the result of the design. Threads also called floss can be got in a wide range of fibers, colors, types, and weights. It is also very important to choose threads depending on the type of fabric, the fabric thread count, and the style of embroidery being done. 

      Any beginner should experiment a lot to understand whether the thread or fabric or needle size will give the desired result. Embroidery threads are available in wool, linen, silkcotton, rayon, and novelty yarns. The ribbon is also used to create floral motifs in embroidery.
