Handicraft Process | Beading | Bronze casting | Carving | Chikan | Embroidery | Enameling | Engraving | EPNS

Embroidery refers to an art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with designs stitched in particular strands of yarn or threads by using a particular type of needle.

Embroidery also includes other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, sequins, and quills.

Machine embroidery is exclusively created by using a definite machine that can read a pre-programmed or automated design and thereby mechanically create a stitched design.

Indian embroidery incorporates a number of regional embroidery styles that drastically vary by each region.

The most ornate and tedious form of Indian embroidery is considered to be the “Zardosi” workmanship. This is the form of embroidery that makes use of metal thread instead of the usual silk or rayon.

The fabric, normally silk or velvet is marked with the pattern and then the skilled craftsman goes about to cover the entire pattern with metal thread and further embellishing it with different colored stones and beads.

Embroidery is basically classiffied depending on its use of the underlying base material.

In free embroidery, designs are randomly applied without concentrating much upon interlace of the original material.

Moreover it also includes crewel that refers to a worsted yarn that is typically used for embroidery edging and conventional style of Chinese embroidery.

However, when it comes to counted-thread embroidery, the process works in another way. Individual's can make outline by cautiously stitching over an arranged number of threads in the base fabric.

As a matter of fact, counted-thread embroidery can be effortlessly carried on an even-weave base material. Even weave Fabric refers to a piece of cloth that contains the same amount of threads from left to right and as well as from top to bottom.
