What is Embroidery?

Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric using a needle and thread. It has been
practiced for centuries and is used to create beautiful designs on clothing,
handkerchiefs, pillowcases, and other fabric items.
Importance of Embroidery:
 Encourages creativity and patience.
 Develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
 Can be used for personalizing clothes and gifts.
Materials and Their Uses:
1. Fabric – Cloth where embroidery is done (e.g., cotton, linen, felt).
2. Embroidery Hoop – Holds the fabric tight while stitching.
3. Needles – Used for stitching (Embroidery needles have a larger eye for thick
threads).
4. Embroidery Thread (Floss) – Comes in different colors and thicknesses for
stitching.
5. Scissors – Used to cut threads.
6. Pencil/Embroidery Transfer Pen – Used to draw the design before stitching.
Five Basic Stitches:
1. Running Stitch – Simple dashed lines used for outlining.
2. Backstitch – A strong stitch used for outlines.
3. Chain Stitch – Looped stitches forming a chain-like design.
4. Satin Stitch – Fills in shapes with smooth, solid stitching.
5. French Knot – A small raised dot used for detailing.
