Needlework is a broad term for the handicrafts of decorative sewing and textile arts. Anything that uses a needle for construction can be called needlework. The definition may expand to include related textile crafts such as a crochet hook or tatting shuttles. Similar abilities often transfer well between different varieties of needlework, such as fine motor skill and a knowledge of textile fibers. Some of the same tools may be used in several different varieties of needlework. For instance, a needle threader is useful in nearly all needlecrafts. Types of needlework

What techniques do you use. i was thinking about pulling out my sewing machine and bate stitching the edges has anyone tried that and does it work Asked by kellykat60409 - Sun Aug 26 00:16:18 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. the best method would be to sew it. Finish the edges as you would finish it for display. some people use masking tape to hold the edges together. However, masking tape does dry out and fall off. Artist (or painters) masking tape might be a solution - it is blue and can be found in the hardware departments. another solution would be to backstich it all the way around - over 2 threads and up through the middle of the stitch just made.
