Excerpt from Art Domestic Decorations: A Complete Book of Instructions for All Kinds of Decorative Art Needlework on the "Domestic" Sewing Machine Needle-work undoubtedly originated with the necessity for clothing, but its field of application soon widened and it willingly became the servant of Fancy, an indispensable assistant of Pomp, and a cheerful contributor to the accompaniments and surroundings of Religion. Moses, in the book of Exodus, describes how the curtains of the Tabernacle were embroidered and the priestly garments wrought under the direction of Aholiab the chief embroiderer. In ancient times the special favor or approval of Kings and potentates was manifested by the bestowal of finely wrought apparel, and the mythological Gods propitiated by the giving of priestly vestments and gorgeously made temple decorations. The Grecians ascribed the invention of Art Needle-work to the Goddess Athene, and the Romans recognized it as a worthy attribute of Minerva. After the Christian Era it continued to hold a prominent place in ecclesiastical adornment, attaining the highest degree of perfection between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. Its field kept constantly widening, and besides ecclesiastical uses, it was largely employed in the decoration of hangings, furniture, costumes, equipages, etc. During a large part of the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth centuries there was a marked declension in its production.
