Traditions::Embroidery

An excellent way to personalize your clothing is to embroider it with the symbol of your training using the fine embroidery thread sold by Iki Banu. You will also require an embroidery needle and a book of patterns. Below is a list of patterns found in the pattern book sold by Iki Banu, however there is an embroidery shop on Loom Alley (Northeast AM, just past Mort Lake) which sells three additional books. "Unpickers" are available which can be used to remove undesired embroidery if you make a mistake.

1. pull thread from spool
2. thread needle with thread
   You must use an embroidery needle. A plain silver needle will not work for embroidery.
3. embroider text <string> on <clothing> with needle
   crafts.materials.needlework
   crafts.art.calligraphy
   
   embroider pattern from <book> on <clothing> with needle
   crafts.materials.needlework
   crafts.art.design
   "It's embroidery, not a novel," so if you wish to embroider text limit it to less than sixty characters. Only one piece of thread is required and it seems the difficulty is based on your skill in the language you're using. The patterns in the embroidery book require more than one thread, so multiple colors may be used. The difficulty of each pattern is generally indicated in the book. Below is a list of the patterns in order.
4. unpick <pattern> on <clothing> with unpicker
   An unpicker is very useful in removing unwanted embroideries. Note that the thread is destroyed by this process.

Iki Banu also sells squares of cloth which can be embroidered to make tapestries, and frames in which to display your tapestries in your player house. The frames can be decorated much like the gift boxes and pipe case.
