Embroidery is mostly used for decoration of home life, daily necessities, clothing, shoes and hats. The process of Jieshou embroidery is to select materials first, that is, to select cloth and thread, and then to draw the pattern to be embroidered at a certain position of the cloth, or to stick the paper-cut pattern on the cloth for embroidery. The techniques are flat needle upper embroidery and lower embroidery. The upper embroidery method is flat needle up and down, and the lower embroidery method is flat needle left and right.
