A bit of embroidery is a type of decorative needlework that involves stitching thread or yarn onto fabric. The most common types of embroidery are PICOT, ropestitch, and crossstitch. PICOT is a five-letter term that refers to a looped stitch used to create a decorative edge. Ropestitch is a ten-letter term that describes a type of stitch that creates a raised, rope-like effect. Crossstitch is an eleven-letter term that involves making an X-shaped stitch to form a pattern. All three of these stitches can be used to create beautiful and intricate designs on fabric.
