How Does Calligraphic Hand Embroidery Differ from Machine Embroidery?

5 years ago

I am interested in hand embroidering a poem, but I don't want to waste my time with the labor if there's no visual difference between that and using a sewing machine. What can a machine not do that a hand can in regards to basic calligraphic lettering? The only thing I can think of is that with hand, I can use the most delicate thread, which I believe is silk? What other differences make it worth spending a few hours on it, that another person can remark on?
