1. Quality
Fine Su embroidery works have much higher quality in
almost all aspects compared to average Su embroidery
products. All fine Su embroidery works are designed
by artists. The embroidery craftswomen also have to
pass certain qualification to perform the needlework
for fine embroidery.
Compare the following two pictures and you will
understand why fine Su embroidery pieces are highly
collectable and valuable. To create a high quality
piece, an artist needs to split a single silk thread
into several thinner threads and embroider layer
after layer with threads of a variety of colors to
reach the final wonderful effect. A top quality Su
embroidery piece can take 5-6 embroidery craftswomen
several years to complete.
2. Embroidery Size
If two embroidery pieces are of the same quality,
the large one is reasonably more expensive because
it takes more time to complete. Generally speaking,
the larger the size of an embroidery piece, the
higher the value of the piece. But customers should
be aware that not all large-size embroidery pieces
are more expensive than small ones. This is because
some large embroidery pieces are not fully
embroidered- the background of the embroidery pieces
is not hand embroidered but painted or printed.
Partly embroidered pieces are always cheaper than
fully embroidered ones. So customers should know if
the embroidery item they plan to buy is fully
embroidered or partly embroidered when purchasing
embroidery artworks online. Otherwise the size may
mean nothing.
