As expected, everyone was astonished when they heard this.
Embroidery is a skill, and if a girl from a certain family is good at it, it's something to be proud of, making her popular with matchmakers, and she usually attracts many suitors, often finding a good household to marry into.
In the countryside, girls who can embroider are still few and far between.
At home, sewing and mending, or making shoe soles, might be easy, but embroidery requires long-term practice.
They don't have the conditions here to let the girls practice these skills.
If they could learn to make one or two embroidered items, that would be quite impressive.
From the sounds of it, the School would teach this, and once skilled, they could work at the workshops, which is an incredible opportunity.
If this works out, not only will they earn some Silver through their craft, but it would also make marriage negotiations easier in the future.
