It is a
striking incontrovertible fact that within the development of embroidery ...
there are not any changes of materials or techniques which may be felt or
interpreted as advances from a primitive to a later, more refined stage. On the
differing hand, we normally find in early works a technical achievement and
high standard of knowledge rarely attained in later times.
The art of
embroidery has been found world wide and a number of other early examples are
found. Works in China are dated to the Warring States period (5th–3rd century
BC). In a garment from Migration period Sweden, roughly 300–700 AD, the sides
of bands of decoration are reinforced with sew up back stitch, stem stitch,
tailor's stitch , and whip-stitching, but it's uncertain whether this work
simply reinforced the seams or should be interpreted as decorative embroidery.
Ancient
Greek mythology has credited the goddess Athena with passing down the art of
embroidery through side weaving Following in the famed competition between
herself and so the mortalArachnid.

Historical
applications and techniques….
Depending on
time, location and materials available, embroidery might be the domain of a
couple of experts or a widespread, popular technique. This flexibility led to a
spread of works, from the royal to the mundane.
Elaborately
embroidered clothing, religious objects, and deliver substance often were seen
as a mark of wealth and standing , as within the case of Opus Anglicanism, a
way employed by professional workshops and guilds in medieval England. In
18th-century England and its colonies, samplers employing fine silks were
produced by the daughters of made families. Embroidery was a skill marking a
girl's path into womanhood also as conveying rank and social standing.
Conversely,
embroidery is additionally a genre , using materials that were accessible to
nonprofessionals. Examples include Hard anger from Norway, Merezhka from
Ukraine, Monticello embroidery from Ireland, Nakshi kantha from Bangladesh and
West Bengal , and Brazilian embroidery. Many techniques had a practical use
like Sashiko from Japan, which was used as how to make stronger clothing.
While
historically viewed as a pastime, activity, or hobby, intended only for women,
embroidery has often been used as a sort of biography. Women who were unable to
access a proper education or, at times, writing implements, were often taught
embroidery and utilized it as a way of documenting their lives. In terms of
documenting the histories of marginalized groups, especially women of color
both within the us and immediate the world, embroidery may be a means of
studying the everyday lives of these whose lives largely went unstudied
throughout much of history.
