Embroidery; in the piece, in strips or in motifs
In plain English
This category covers embroidered goods that are sold in rolls, strips, or individual designs. The items are split into two main groups based on whether the fabric backing is visible. One group includes embroidery where no backing shows through, while the other group consists of pieces with a visible backing. These items with visible backing are further divided by the material they are made from, specifically cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile materials.
