Stitches that used in Kasuti Embroidery.
Ganti or Gavanti
Ganti means knot.
It is the typical Holbein stitch style done in a straight line, either vertically or horizontally or even diagonally.
This stitch is reversible and shows up the same on the front and back of the fabric.
2. Muragi
Muragi means twisted.
It is a variation of Holbein stitch. It has a ‘zig-zag’ nature. This can be made vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The diagonal pattern, with a ladder-like appearance, is used most popularly. Muragi is also used to fill up patterns.
This stitch is reversible and shows up the same on the front and reverse of the fabric.
3. Neygi or Negi
Neygi means to weave.
It is the typical pattern darning stitch. It uses running stitch to make patterns and gives a weaved effect. Neygi is now no longer popularly used in Kasuti hand embroidery, thanks to the weaving machines that do the job.
This stitch is reversible, but they tend to be like mirror images of each other.
4. Menthi
Menthe means fenugreek.
It uses the typical cross stitch to fill in the patterns or motifs.
This stitch is not reversible. While it shows up like cross fillings on the front of the fabric, the reverse will be just vertical or horizontal, or even diagonal lines.
