Overview:
In its origin, shadow - work, a hand embroidery technique, worked the design in a closed herringbone stitch on the wrong side of a fairly transparent fabric producing a back stitch outline on the right side. This beautiful style of embroidery is featured on a perfect gift for Mother’s Day and the best part is that it is all done by machine embroidery!
