embroidery techniques

Embroidery techniques involve decorating fabric using threads and needles. Common methods include: 1. **Cross-stitch**: Creating an X-shaped stitch to form patterns or images. 2. **Satin stitch**: Stitching closely together for a smooth, filled look. 3. **Backstitch**: A solid line stitch that provides strength and detail. 4. **Chain stitch**: A series of looped stitches resembling a chain. 5. **Appliqué**: Attaching smaller pieces of fabric onto a larger piece to create designs. These techniques can vary in complexity and are used in fashion, craftwork, and art to add texture and visual interest.
