Ribbon Embroidery; Embroidery That Embodies Romance
If you are into embroidery, you surely know that hand embroidery is the oldest embroidery known in this industry. It was used in the ancient days as designs in tapestries and in lady's samplers. Most hand embroidery projects are used to decorate pillowcases, wall hangings, table runners and quilts. And there are several types of hand embroidery and one of them is ribbon embroidery.
Ribbon embroidery is basically done using ribbon rather than the standard six-thread string. Most ribbon embroiderers use silk ribbon or a combination of silk and organza ribbon. Practiced for years, this type of embroidery is considered as the most elegant hand embroidery. Ribbon embroidery projects are also considered to exude a certain level of romantic and antique quality; thus, this is known as the most romantic form of embroidery.
