The choice of stitch depends on the desired effect, the type of fabric being used, and the complexity of the design. Embroidery can be used to add simple embellishments to clothing or linens, or to create intricate and detailed works of Hoop art. It is a popular hobby and is often used to create unique gifts and home décor items.
