Embroidered cloth – videos sample (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapestry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'embroidered cloth' is the definition.
'tapestry' can be an answer for 'cloth' (tapestry is a kind of cloth). I'm unsure of the 'embroidered' bit.

'videos sample' is the wordplay.
'videos' becomes 'tapes' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sample' becomes 'try' (synonyms).
'tapes'+'try'='TAPESTRY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tapestry that I've seen before include "Heavy ornamental fabric" , "Eg, arras, Gobelin" , "Embroidered picture" , "As pretty as embroidered material" , "Decorative hanging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
