Guide to Cross Stitching Vincent Bronson

Embroidery is the creation of art with nothing more than some fabric, thread, and needles. In fact, embroidery from old expanses of fabrics has often told explorers and archeologists historical tales about places and people in ancient times. Contrary to tapestries, the pattern is not woven directly into the fabric: embroidery is basically ornamental sewing whereby you can decorate the fabric using a needle and a thread. There are various types of stitches associated with embroidery, namely surface work and counted thread work. The type of stitch that you will use basically depends on the type of fabric that you're going to use. Nowadays, sewers also have two choices when it comes to their embroidery method: hand or machine sewing.
