I didn’t realize this was embroidered. It’s very pretty but is fraying a bit already. I would recommend using on a pillow that can easily be manipulated, it was hard for me to stuff and is kind of lumpy. The original pillow I wanted to use it for wouldn’t work — luckily I had another one to try. I have covers in a different style (same size) for two others that are the same as the pillow I bought this one for so I know that isn’t the issue.
