📖 Origins of embroidery
Embroidery can be traced back to ancient China and the Near East, with evidence dating back to around 30,000 BC. Our ancestors crafted their first garments with stitched fabrics, though the exact appearance of these early embroidered clothes remains elusive.
👸 Embroidery in the Medieval Era
During the Middle Ages, embroidery became a symbol of power, wealth, and status. From ancient Egypt to Viking-age Sweden, civilizations adorned their clothing and household items with intricate thread designs, often serving as a means of documenting history.
🧑‍🎨 Renaissance embroidery
In the Renaissance period, embroidery continued to thrive among the nobility and the church. Lavish designs adorned various items, showcasing opulence and artistic expression. Embroidery became an essential element of fashion, adorning garments and decorative pieces.
🏭 The first embroidery machine in the Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution marked a turning point with the invention of the Hand Embroidery Machine by Joshua Heilmann in 1828. This revolutionary tool transformed fashion, allowing for the mass production of embroidered goods and making embroidery more accessible to the masses.

Embroidery has also made its mark in the realm of world records. From creating a massive embroidered design of the map of Mexico spanning hundreds of square feet to the longest embroidered piece depicting scenes from C.S.
