Description
Kasuti is a traditional embroidery design that originated in the 17th Century in Karnataka, India. The word Kasuti means working with Kai (Hands) on Suti (Cotton). Kasuti involves working with very intricate design patterns such as Woven Effect, Birds, Borders, Templetops (Gopuram), Lotus Flower, Chariot, lamps, palanquin and many others depending on the creativity of the embroiderer. Kasuti designs can be embroidered on Saris, Frocks, Handkerchiefs, Blouses, Bed covers, curtains, table cloth and any other material. Kasuti Embroidery has four types of stitches: Ganti and Muragi – It comprises a straight and zig zag stitch. The stitch is identical on both sides of the cloth. Menthe and Negi stitch – While the Menthe stitch resembles a cross-stitch, the Negi stitch provides a woven style. These stitches are dissimilar on either side of the fabric
