How to tell the difference between hand and machine embroidery

In recent years there has been a lot of international interest in items made with Chinese embroidery, and I came across a very cheap embroidered bag online and decided to buy it to see how it compares to actual hand embroidered one! Here is a video comparison of the two! You can also see how the natural velvetish shine of silk compares to synthetic fabric. I am going to slowly work on sharing more about different traditional Chinese crafts and debunking some myths in time to come so, let me slowly get them in the pipeline. And if you are interested in anything, I mean anything at all, after watching the video, leave a message and I will see if I can expand on that topic in the coming episodes! #hanfugirl #chineseembroidery #embroidery #silk #mulberrysilk #peony
