Embroidery has a rich history that spans various cultures, from ancient China and Egypt to medieval Europe. In its early days, it was done entirely by hand, often on silk, linen, and wool. The detailed designs were symbols of status and wealth, especially when they involved gold or silver threads. With the Industrial Revolution, embroidery became more accessible, thanks to machines that could replicate intricate designs much faster.
