Discover the different types of embroidery stitches you can use to create incredible textures and detail

In the hands of Adriana Torres (@soymigadepan) a simple needle and piece of thread turn into powerful tools, which she uses to create illustrations in embroidery. This technique allows her, in addition to expressing her creativity, to achieve incredible textures and volumes that greatly enrich her work, creating a piece that is both visual and tactile.
