LESSON 1 :
PRODUCE
EMBROIDERED
ARTICLE
Embroidery is the ornamentation of
textiles and other materials with
needlework for personal use and
decoration not only at home but for
offices as well. The term embroidery is an
English word derived from the old French
embroiders meaning edge and border.
Embroidery was
introduced into the
Orient by the
Netherlanders in the
15th century. It was
bought by the
Spaniards into the
Philippines.
Embroidery reached its highest
development during the middle ages. The
nuns in the convents were the first to make
articles with embroidery work during their
leisure time. Since then, it became so
popular that women started to enjoy it,
creating designs of their own. In the
beginning embroideries were done by hand.
But since the advent
of technology and the
invention of the sewing
machine, people are
now engaged in the
machine embroidery.
