I have tried my hand at various styles of embroidery. I don't have the patience to sit and paint with thread for hours. However, some of the stitches are enormously useful for other purposes. I use the blanket stitch for edging blankets and for doing applique on tabards. Handy skills. And if I want to get fancy, I have reference materials to do more. I do admire the art form and generally like looking at its pictures.
