All sorts of objects in everyday life, including quilts, door hangings, pillow covers, stomachers, shop signs, table spreads, purses, and dramatic costumes, were embroidered with colorful designs and images.
在生活中的各種用品，如被面、門簾、枕面、肚兜、店招、桌飾、鞋面、荷包，或戲服、神像、八仙彩等，也無不以繡為裝飾。再就民間刺繡內容來說，大抵以吉祥圖案為主，代表百姓對生活的祈願。甚至也有戲曲的場面，看來竟像在身上演戲一樣。
