We were looking for an exclusive word that sums up the prick and stitch method of making greetings cards. An Internet search turned up an online Random Word Generator that was great fun to use. You enter 10 or more words on your chosen subject and it comes up with a list of words that are similar, but probably never before seen.

We looked at their suggestions but none of them seemed quite right, so we decided to create our own word. A pin is used to prick out the pattern and embroidery techniques are used to stitch the design. A natural progression from this led us to PinBroidery.

Unfortunately it is a word that is easy to misspell as Pinbroidary, Pinbrodery, Pinbrodary or Pinbroderie. To make sure people will find us we have registered the .com versions of each of these spellings.

How do you like our choice of name? Let us know in a comment to this message.
