Hello,
Does anyone know exactly what Hamburg embroidery (edging, insertion) was? I
know the basic dictionary "a kind of embroidered work done by machinery on
cambric or muslin" but I'm trying to find out what distinguishes it from "Swiss
embroidery," "fine embroidery" or simply "embroidery" - when describing cotton
embroidered trims and mentioned in 1880s-1900 catalogs and books. What makes it
different??
thanks,
Melissa
