You're going to be amazed by our broad range of products. We'll introduce to you a wide range of embroidery techniques and show you the ropes!

	Cross stitch is the most well-known stitch in colour embroidery. The stitch is still popular in both modern designs and traditional folk art.		Pulled thread embroidery An openwork technique in which fabric threads are not cut. The lace like effect is created by pulling or bundling together embroidery stitches.
	Hardanger is an openwork embroidery technique. Characteristics of Hardanger are the satin stitch blocks that outline and secure the edges of openwork sections that are filled with a grid of overcast or darned bars.		Crochet/Crochet Patchwork The edges of fabric doilies are decorated with lovely crochet borders; doilies can be crocheted together patchwork-style.
	Drawn thread embroidery Fabric threads are clipped and removed; the remaining threads are then bundled and secured with decorative stitches.		Huck embroidery / darning Special huckaback fabric is decorated by running an embroidery needle and yarn under the floats on the fabric surface.
	White work Cutwork and eyelet embroidery done on fine, densely-woven fabrics. The pattern outlines are drawn or ironed onto the fabric.		Myreschka A special drawn-thread technique in which drawn-thread areas are filled with bars and decorative holes made by needle-weaving.
	Needlepoint The entire surface of canvas is covered by stitches. The classic version is in tent, cross or Gobelin stitches.
