I-Embroidery, njengendlela yobuciko kanye nomsebenzi wezandla, inomlando omude ohlanganisa amasiko namakhulu eminyaka ahlukene. Ekuqaleni, i-embroidery yayisetshenziselwa ngokuyinhloko ukuthunga, ukupheca, nokuqinisa indwangu. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, yashintsha yaba ubuciko bokuhlobisa obuyinkimbinkimbi. Amasu okufekethisa ayisisekelo ahlale ezinzile ngokuphawulekayo kuwo wonke umlando, nemisebenzi eminingi yangaphambili ebonisa ubuciko obukhethekile, ngezinye izikhathi idlula okudalwe kamuva.
Okutholwe ngemivubukulo emhlabeni wonke kubonisa ukuthi ukufekethisa kube nendima ebalulekile ezimpucukweni ezihlukahlukene. E-China, imisebenzi yokuqala eyaziwayo efekethisiwe ihlehlela emuva enkathini ye-Warring States (ikhulu lesi-5-3 BC), egqamisa ubuciko bendwangu obuthuthukisiwe bangaleso sikhathi. Imifekethiso yaseShayina ikakhulukazi ihlanganisa izigaba ezine: ukufekethiswa kweSuzhou, ukufekethiswa kweHunan, ukufekethiswa kweSichuan kanye nokufekethiswa kwe-Guangdong. Ngokufanayo, eSweden ngesikhathi seNkathi Yokufuduka (cishe ngo-300-700 AD), abantu baqinisa izingubo ngemithungo egijimayo, imithungo yangemuva, imithungo yesiqu, imithungo yezinkinobho, nemithungo yeziswebhu. Kodwa-ke, akukaqinisekwa ukuthi lezi zithungo bezisebenza ngezinhloso zesakhiwo kuphela noma bezinemisebenzi yokuhlobisa.
Ngokomlando, imifekethiso ibisetshenziswa kakhulu ezingutsheni, ezintweni zobuciko zenkolo, nasemihlobiso yasekhaya. Imiklamo ye-embroidery eyinkimbinkimbi ngokuvamile ifanekisela isimo senhlalo, ingcebo, kanye nobunikazi bamasiko. EYurophu yasendulo, imifekethiso yayichuma engutsheni yenkolo nemvunulo yasebukhosini. Emhlabeni wamaSulumane, izindwangu ezifekethisiwe zaziswa kakhulu, kuyilapho eJapane, ukufekethiswa kwendabuko "Sashiko" akugcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukuqina kwendwangu kodwa futhi kwakha amaphethini ahlukile wejometri.
Naphezu kokuvela kwezindlela zokukhiqiza izindwangu kanye nokushintsha kwezitayela zemfashini, amasu okufekethisa ahlala engaguquki ngendlela emangalisayo. I-Industrial Revolution yethule ukufekethiswa komshini, kodwa ukufekethiswa kwezandla kuyaqhubeka nokuba yigugu ngobuciko bayo obuhle kanye nenani lobuciko. Namuhla, ukufekethisa kuhlanganisa isiko nokuqanjwa kabusha, kugcina kokubili ukukhanga kobuhle nokusebenza kahle emhlabeni wonke. Isizathu sokufekethiswa sihlala singesinye sezobuciko bendwangu obuheha kakhulu emlandweni sisekuhlanganiseni kwakho kobuciko nokusebenza ngendlela efanele, okubonisa ukuthandeka kwakho okungaphelelwa yisikhathi.
Namuhla, lo msebenzi wezandla omuhle usuvele uye phesheya futhi waba indawo enhle esiteji samazwe ngamazwe. Lapho amakhono endabuko esetshenziswa emkhakheni wemfashini, aqhakaza ngobuhlakani obungajwayelekile. Iphinde igqamise ukukhanga okungavamile kwesiko lesizwe.
Manje, ubuciko be-embroidery baseShayina cishe bugcwele izwe lonke. Imifekethiso kaSuzhou kaSu, imifekethiso kaHunan yeXiang, imifekethiso ye-Shu kaSichuan, kanye ne-Yue yaseGuangdong ngayinye inezici zayo futhi zaziwa ngokuthi izifekethiso ezine ezidumile zaseChina. Imidwebo ye-embroidery yanamuhla inobuciko obuyinkimbinkimbi nobuyinkimbinkimbi.
