Embroidery: A Tradition that Comes to Life Stitch by Stitch

Embroidery is an art that dates back to the Romans and can be done either manually or with specialized machinery.

The process of making an embroidery requires as much creativity and dedication as that of a painting. Our drawings are sent to the cutter, who transmutes the colors and sensations of the shapes into threads and spaces. That information is entered into a twelve-needle machine where the operation begins. The process must be monitored at all times, as embroidery on linen is particularly complex.

Needle stitches

270,000 needle stitches make up our tablecloth patterns, so each tablecloth takes an average of twenty-four hours to come to life.

At Lo de Manuela no material is wasted. Should an embroidery failure occur, the process is slowed down and fixed manually by a professional embroiderer, who is a truly endangered species in this industrialized world.

We combine manual processes with machinery to maximize quality and perfect our results. The machines are channels through which we pour our technique, the power of the art of our drawings and our desire to impress.

These are complex and unique pieces.
