Reference: Embroidery And Needlework
Hastings
Embroidery is the art of working patterns or figures on textile fabrics with woollen, linen, silk, or gold thread by means of a needle. The process was exactly described by the Romans as painting with a needle (acu pingere).
The Hebrew word for embroidery (riqmah) is rendered by AV in Jg 5:30 and Ps 45:14 by 'needlework,' for which RV substitutes 'embroidery,'
