To make embroidery not so monotonous we recommend use of various stitches. Plenty and unique patterns make needlework equal to the pieces of art. Embroidery with stitches is uneven by its relief, because embroidery completes a texture on already woven cloth. A picture embroidered with various stitches will gain view of 3D. Not only pictures can be embroidered by stitches: two different cloths perfectly joined together, stitches can decorate clothes and curtains.
Embroidery by stitches is limitless regarding what would be embroidered. Everything suits, and only imagination is needed to make choice of stitches, because you draw only picture contour on the cloth, and then create your stitches on them. Adjusting one to another you are composing from chosen stitches. You are developing your imagination in this way because the final view you will see only after finishing the embroidery.
If you are embroidering not a picture but using stitches as an element of seam or decoration, you can sew beadings, change thread thickness and colours.
