Question

Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences.

Explain the difference between weaving and embroidery.

Answer 1

Weaving is the process of creating cloth by interlacing two sets of threads—warp and weft—on a loom so the fabric’s structure is formed as the threads cross. Embroidery, by contrast, is decorative stitching applied to an already-made fabric, using a needle and thread (or other materials) to create patterns or images on the surface. In short, weaving builds the textile itself, while embroidery embellishes and adds surface design to an existing textile.
