City and Guilds qualification. In embroidery allows embroiderers to become recognized for his or her skill. This qualification also gives them the credibility to show. For example, the notable textiles artist, Kathleen Laurel Sage, began her teaching career by getting the town and Guilds Embroidery 1 and a couple of qualifications. She has now gone on to write a book on the subject.
