How To Tell The Difference Between Machine And Hand Embroidery

If a piece of embroidery is kept before you, could you differentiate and recognize if it is machine or hand embroidery? Probably not, especially if you are a beginner. 

However, there are always few indications that can tell you if a piece is a machine or hand embroidered. Some machine embroidery feels more unnatural, and you can tell right away that this can’t be achieved through hand embroidery.



At the same time, some embroidery is so intricate and clean that it can only be achieved through much patience of hand embroidery. Here we are not siding either of the two, as both are equally respected and traded. Some pieces look best in hand embroidery while others in machine embroidery.

However, digitizingmadeeasy.com has a small trick that can tell you the difference. Read on.

4 Natural Ways To Help Boost Fertility

The journey to starting a family is unique to each person. For some, it seems to happen without them even thinking about it. For others, conception is a far longer process. So if you've been trying to have a baby for a while now, and it hasn't happened yet, try not to worry too much - it's said that one in seven couples experience some difficulties conceiving. There is so much that modern medicine can help with, and our understanding of the causes of infertility is advancing all the time.




Your first port of call should be your family doctor, who can make some tests to determine whether you have any underlying conditions which may be preventing you falling pregnant, such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome. But there are also lifestyle factors you can choose to address yourself.

"Not All Heroes Wear Capes" Teacher Edition - Free Coloring Sheet

If virtual learning has taught me anything, it is that I am NOT cut out to be a teacher. And everything our public teachers are having to deal with is so much on their plates. At my children's school they are having to figure out how to do a hybrid learning situation for those in class and online at the same time, all while trying to keep everyone engaged, paying attention, and on task. That has to be so stressful. So along with my nurse/doctor printable coloring page that I made back in March, I have decided to create this "Not All Heroes Wear Capes" Free Coloring Page about teachers.


Teacher Free Coloring Page


Just click on the image above to print. Please tag me @mrsdchastain on IG/Twitter or @DianasDeals on FB if your children color this as I would love to see them.

Here is a link to some more Essential Worker Coloring Sheets.
