• Petit Point - Petit point embroidery is a type of needlework that is characterized by small, delicate stitches worked onto a fine canvas or mesh fabric. The stitches used in petit point embroidery are typically very small and precise, and are worked in diagonal rows to create a smooth, even surface.
  
  Petit point embroidery is often used to create intricate designs and patterns, such as floral motifs, landscapes, and portraits. The embroidery can be done in a variety of colours and can be quite detailed and realistic.
  
  The technique of petit point embroidery has been used for centuries in various forms of decorative art, including tapestries, cushions, and clothing. It was particularly popular in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe, where it was used to create elaborate wall hangings and furniture coverings.
  
  Petit point embroidery is still practiced by many artisans and is used to create a wide range of decorative items, including jewellery, handbags, and home decor. The technique requires patience and skill, as the small stitches can be time-consuming to work and require a steady hand.
