Embroidery
There are several subcategories of embroidery. Machine embroidery is done with a sewing machine, or with a specialized embroidery machine. Free embroidery is done without taking the weave of the fabric into account, while counted thread embroidery uses patterns that are measured by the number of threads in the fabric. Surface embroidery is done on top of the fabric, while canvas work requires stitching over the entire fabric, in effect making a new fabric.
Embroidery's roots are uncertain, but there is evidence that it goes back at least as far as the Iron Age. Elaborate embroidery designs in clothing were a sign of status in ancient and medieval times. Various forms of embroidery have been passed down through the generations in many cultures.
Cross Stitch
Materials used in cross stitching include embroidery floss and canvas or Aida cloth. Today, cross stitching is most often used in creating pictures for framing. It has historically been done on household items such as dishtowels and linens, and although not as prevalent, it is still frequently used for those purposes.
Needlepoint
Embroidery goes back a long way, and it continues to evolve to this day. Cross stitch and needlepoint are two of the most popular types, but they are not the only ones. There are a wide variety of embroidery techniques out there to try.

ReplyDeleteI would like to make a tote bag with the eyes, nose and whiskers of a cat as a design. Would this be done with embroidery or cross stitch. I can sew but I have never done any of the needle work so I will need to learn.
ReplyDeleteYou could do either just depending on the look your going for
DeleteWow youre so helpful.
DeleteThe article states that cross stitch is a type of embroidery.
DeleteI'm trying to teach myself embroidery and have bought self taught books, YouTube tutorials, etc. Really looking forward to creating something.
ReplyDeleteI am doing my first cross stitch project. It is an embellished stamped kit I got at a thrift store. I love the stitching, it is somehow calming and soothing. I don't like just embellishing though.
ReplyDeleteI have some big ideas of making beautiful things, but am worried I will now try jumping to something too complex.
I've read some people saying counted cross stitch is easier and some saying it is harder than stamped. All have said counted allows for more detail and versatility. It sounds intimidating though, using a blank canvas.
Needlepoint is interesting to me, but sounds even more complex.
Do you recommend jumping right to counted or getting more experience with stamped? Is needlepoint a lot more complex? Thanks for your help.
