textiles and other materials with needlework
for personal use and decoration not only at

embroidery is an English word derived from
the old French embroiders meaning edge
and border.

3. Embroidery was introduced into the
Orient by the Netherlanders in the 15th
century. It was bought by the Spaniards into
the Philippines where it has made a
wonderful growth, and work done it rivals the
best work done in Switzerland, a country
noted for its exquisite embroidery.

4. 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.

5. Today, because of the fast growth of
the industry, elegance of designs and
fineness of workmanship, Filipinos export
articles with embroidery work. Embroidery
work is best achieved if correct tools and
materials are used. Tools refer to small or
handy devices/instruments used in sewing
while materials or supplies are those that are
consumed in finishing a project.
