Embroidery

Embroidery

After the piña or jusi cloth is embroidered, they are washed, slightly starched and stretched on bamboo poles. The finished product is then brought to Manila to the large embroidery firms and commercial stores. Payment per piece is made by contractors to sewers who periodically visit their homes to secure further cloth to be embroidered.
