Schiffli Embroidery

The craft of Schiffli-embroidery is practiced all over the world and involves a vast number of techniques, stitches, threads, base fabrics, and embellishments. Lace itself is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open web-like pattern. Historically, it was made by hand or with the aid of bobbins. With industrialization, the versatility and precision of the Schiffli machine has given it an important role in the textile industry for over 150 years. Its use continues to evolve with advancing technology.
