When I started embroidery, all I knew was the stem stitch and satin stitch. I made many embroidery designs with these basic stitches. The nun who taught this introduced me to a wonderful world of colors and designs \u2013 I was like Alice, who did not know where to \u2018stop\u2019 looking in her new world. There are so many stitches, techniques, and designs \u2013 I am still looking and not stopping anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than the regular embroidery stitches, hand  embroidery is categorized according to the way they are done, into 4-5 broad categories, so far as I can tell. Open work, counted thread work, outline work & void work and then the colored work and regional-specific embroidery work. They are then mixed, crossed, combined, and joined together to make spectacular embroidery designs; Let us go into specifics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
