What did a embroiderer do in the middle ages?
Embroidery work was done by aristocratic noblewomen and their maids, as well as by professional embroiderers. The style is referred to as "crewel work", which means creating designs by means of hand-stitching with coloured wool thread, using a variety if different stitches. The most famous piece of medieval needlework is the so-called "Bayeux Tapestry", which is not a tapestry but an embroidery. See link below for an image:
Why is bayeux tapestry not really a tapestry?
The definition of tapestry is: tap·es·try n.pl. tap·es·tries1. A heavy cloth woven with rich, often varicolored designs or scenes, usually hung on walls for decoration and sometimes used to cover furniture.2. Something felt to resemble a richly and complexly designed cloth: the tapestry of world history.tr.v. tap·es·tried (--strd), tap·es·try·ing, tap·es·tries (--strz)(from the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.)Technically, because the designs are embroidered onto the background and not woven into the fabric, the Bayeux Tapestry is actually an embroidery and not a tapestry. Among pictorial cloths of this scale, tapestries are far more common than embroideries, as the tapestry is woven on a loom while the process of embroidering stitch-by-stitch usually lends itself more to small-scale works. Because of this, many people have come to associate the term tapestry with all large scale pictorial cloths whose design is carried out by thread, without realizing the difference between the threads being part of the woven fabric versus being embroidered onto an already existing cloth. In the case of the Bayeux Tapestry, the term was incorrectly applied because of this lack of distinction, but it has been retained largely for the sake of tradition and its popularity.1 1 R.

Where was the bayeux tapestry found?
It is presently exhibited in a special museum in Bayeux, Normandy, France - where I went to see it for myself. Since the earliest known written reference to the tapestry is a 1476 inventory of Bayeux Cathedral, its origins have been the subject of much speculation and controversy. French legend maintained the tapestry was commissioned and created by Queen Matilda, William the Conqueror's wife, and her ladies-in-waiting. Indeed, in France it is occasionally known as "La Tapisserie de la Reine Mathilde" (Tapestry of Queen Matilda). However, scholarly analysis in the 20th century shows it probably was commissioned by William's half brother, Biship Odo. The reasons for the Odo commission theory include: 1) three of the bishop's followers mentioned in Doomsday Book appear on the tapestry; 2) it was found in Bayeux Cathedral, built by Odo; and 3) it may have been commissioned at the same time as the cathedral's construction in the 1070s, possibly completed by 1077 in time for display on the cathedral's dedication. Assuming Odo commissioned the tapestry, it was probably designed and constructed in England by Anglo-Saxon aritists given that Odo's main power base was in Kent, the Latin text contains hints of Anglo Saxon, other embroideries originate from England at this time, and the vegetable dyes can be found in cloth traditionally woven there. Assuming this was the case, the actual physical work of stitching was most likely undertaken by skilled seamsters. Anglo-Saxon needlework, was famous across Europe.
