In Surface embroidery, patterns are worked on top of the foundation
fabric using decorative stitches and laid threads. Surface embroidery
encompasses most free embroidery as well as some forms of counted-thread
embroidery (such as cross-stitch).
In Canvas work, threads are stitched through a fabric mesh to create a
dense pattern that completely covers the foundation fabric. All canvas
work is not counted-thread embroidery. There are printed and hand
painted canvases where the painted or printed image is meant to serve as
a color guide.
Stitches are of the stitcher's choosing.

Ribbon embroidery is embroidery performed with ribbon rather than yarn.
Silk ribbon or a silk/organza blend ribbon are commonly used for this
type of embroidery.
Ribbons are enjoyed by many people as a common decoration. In some
cultures birthday gifts are adorned with these colorful strings.
While satin and other sorts of ribbon have always been used in lingerie,
the usage of ribbon in the garment industry, while subject to fashion
trends, saw an upsurge in the mid to late 90's.
Such as bows, rosettes, and other
garment accessories made from ribbon.
Cloth ribbons, which most commonly includes silk, are often used in
connection with dress, but also applied for innumerable useful,
ornamental and symbolical purposes; cultures around the world use this
device in their hair, around the body, or even as ornamentation on
animals, buildings, and other areas.

Modern blackwork
Today, blackwork is popular. It has a modern feel due to its austere,
formal quality. Much of the success of a blackwork design depends on how
tone values are translated into stitches.
Amongst the motifs used, maps are particularly popular. So are
chessboards and other designs which could be the subject of a pen and
ink drawing.
Blackwork is used in Assisi embroidery to outline the main motif and
some of the decoration. Both modern and folk-art cross-stitch are
sometimes combined with blackwork or similar backstitch embroidery.
Blackwork is a form of counted-thread embroidery and is usually stitched
on even-weave fabric. Any black thread can be used, but firmly twisted
threads give a better look than embroidery floss. Traditionally
blackwork is stitched in silk thread on linen or cotton fabric.
Sometimes metallic threads or colored threads are used for accents.
Scarletwork is like blackwork, except it is sewn with red thread.
The stitches used are double running stitch (which is also called
Holbein stitch) backstitch, and sometimes stem stitch.
Historically, there are three common styles of blackwork:
In the earliest blackwork, counted stitches are worked to make a
geometric or small floral pattern. Most modern blackwork is in this
style, especially the commercially-produced patterns that are marketed
for hobby stitchers.
Later blackwork features large designs of flowers, fruit, and other
patterns connected by curvilinear stems. These are outlined with stem
stitch, and the outlined patterns are filled with geometric counted
designs.
In the third style of blackwork, the outlined patterns are "shaded" with
random stitches called seed stitches. This style of blackwork imitates
etchings or woodcuts.

Embroidery stitches may be functional (as are the stitches in non decorative sewing) or purely decorative.
In appliqué work,
contrasting pieces of cloth may be fastened to the foundation material
with decorative stitches. In smocking, decorative stitches secure
gathers or folds, which have been previously formed in the foundation
material.
Decorative stitches are known by such names as chain stitch,
blanket stitch, featherstitch, French knot, satin stitch, cross-stitch
or gross point, and tent stitch or petit point.
The thread is typically
silk, wool, cotton, or linen.
Fine metallic wire and, in some
20th-century work, synthetic filaments are also used.
Heavy or precious
threads are sometimes couched, that is, laid across the ground fabric
and tied to it by stitching with a separate thread. Some embroidery
techniques produce a basically flat surface; others produce designs in
relief. In cutwork, small shapes are cut out of the ground material, the
cut edges are embroidered, and the vacant space is often filled in with
decorative stitches.
In drawnwork, certain threads of the warp, weft, or
both, are removed from the ground, and the remaining threads are
embroidered. Some types of embroidery are referred to by the kind of
thread used (such as crewel work, stitched in brightly colored worsted
wool yarns on a natural beige or bleached white linen or, alternatively,
wool ground).
Other kinds of embroidery are referred to by the type of
ground material used, such as gauze embroidery. These include filet
embroidery (done on a netlike fabric) and canvas work (stitched onto
coarse- or tight-textured canvas and also referred to as needlepoint, a
term borrowed from lace making).
