In the practice of embroidery the needlewoman has an advantage not now
shared by workers in any other craft, in that the technical processes
are almost a matter of inherited skill. Every woman can sew, and it is
with little more than the needle and thread, which she habitually
employs, that the greatest masterpieces of the art have been stitched.
The art of embroidery, however, is not merely an affair of stitches;
they are but the means by which ideas can be expressed in intelligible
form, and memories of all kinds of things be pictured on stuffs.
