The process involves joining multiple layers of fabric together using a needle and thread entirely by manual means. The resulting textile art form can serve both functional and decorative purposes. Examples include crafting baby blankets, elaborate wall hangings, and heirloom-quality bed coverings.
This method of textile creation fosters patience and mindfulness, often resulting in a tangible connection to the crafting process. Historically, it has been a significant communal activity, preserving traditions and stories within families and communities. The finished product represents a durable and personalized expression of artistry.
