Though the handcraft was practiced much before, the term embroidery came into usage, for the first time, in the medieval era. All the designs were painstakingly created by artisans and craftsmen who made sure that each piece was an example of perfection. Over the years, countries developed their styles and these styles were exported. For example, blackwork (needlepoint using backstitch or outline stitch and double stitch) was first brought to England by Catherine of Aragon, the Spanish wife of Henry VIII. Gradually, the list of this monochromatic style expanded to include whitework, bluework, scarlet work, and goldwork. Nowadays, metal and other colors are added to lend depth to a single pattern.

In the 19th century, new designs came to the picture. Transition from folk to custom embroidery was seen. With the fabrication of the embroidery machine, mass production of embroideries gained momentum. Berlin work added new vigor to the business. Biblical or historical themes, pictures of flowers, and even exotic Oriental paintings were now sought after. As the illustrations were painted or printed in Berlin and bought by needlework artisans all over Europe and United States, the style came to be known as Berlin work.
