[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 63990, member: 201"]Looking at the back of the enlarged embroidery, it looks like hand work to me. Interesting about the paper backing. Machine embroidery often is done with a gauzy paper backing behind the fabric, but it's under the stitches in the back, not on top of them and the exposed part is usually torn off after the stitching is done. Maybe the paper was put there to protect the stitches on the back or to protect the fabric from the backing board?[/QUOTE]
