Embroidery is a craft that involves decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread. It is often used to add decorative elements to clothing, accessories, and home decor. Sewing is a related craft that involves stitching two pieces of fabric together. Embroidering requires more skill than sewing, as it involves creating intricate designs with the thread. Sewing is an essential skill for embroidering, as it is used to attach the fabric to the embroidery hoop and to secure the thread in place.
