I wondered if doing a video tutorial would be a better idea: then I decided to stick to my own style. I think my pictures are very clear and if at any time you have a doubt, referring to pictures is easier than referring to a Kutch work video tutorial. So here I am with my next batch of pictures. They are time consuming - but worth all the time and effort I've put into them.<br />
<br />
As always, click on pictures to enlarge. They are self- explanatory.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>Note:</b> <i>I've used 6 strands of Anchor Stranded cotton for both the skeleton and the interlacing. I normally use a tapestry needle for the interlacing. The reason? When you use an ordinary sewing needle, chances of your needle snagging the yarn and pulling at the already laid skeleton are high. This results in a shabby finish. By using a tapestry needle, you eliminate this problem.</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
The Interlacing can be worked in 2 ways. The way I've done it for this kurta, and a 2nd method which produces a totally different effect.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which method you choose depends on your personal preference. I personally prefer Method II for 2 reasons.<br />
<br />
<div>
1. It does not deviate from the normal rules of Kutchwork and is therefore, easier to remember. </div>
<div>
2. Method II looks more like Kutchwork than Method I.</div>
<br />
Here Method I looks more attractive than Method II, mostly because, I've used different colors for working the skeleton and the interlacing. That you can clearly distinguish between the skeleton and the interlacing, adds an element of interest to the design. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'd choose Method I if I am working with 2 colours and Method II if I am working with a single colour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Use 2-3 strands if you are working on silk or very fine material.<br />
All 6 strands, if you are working the design on a cushion cover - you want the design to stand out and draw the attention of anyone who enters the room.<br />
4 strands work just as well as 6. But in my experience, whenever I use 4 strands, I end up losing the remaining 2 strands. The result? A lot of wasted yarn.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll post the steps for each of these over the next 2 posts.<br />

<b>Working The Skeleton</b><br />
Here's the pattern transferred to the fabric using white carbon (available with all wholesale stationery dealers).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Working the Skeleton:</b><br />
The first step to working a kutchwork pattern is to pick up a pencil and trace the design starting at any point.
For this design, start at point 1 then move on to 2 etc and continue to trace it until you get back to one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_Xsl3VM4dxxPJ9FoBvrN0ZkPmvUKUDYJ45TmCtA5GlQOwWnD-q03KZjxZCuygGs4_YgXYKQmSsRIxzaU4d80lGLS2SZOy6iwYvgGwLgJ5lp8RbF9PQTqNl7iBOfMuQsBu7TTXQ/s1600/2+Kut+trace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_Xsl3VM4dxxPJ9FoBvrN0ZkPmvUKUDYJ45TmCtA5GlQOwWnD-q03KZjxZCuygGs4_YgXYKQmSsRIxzaU4d80lGLS2SZOy6iwYvgGwLgJ5lp8RbF9PQTqNl7iBOfMuQsBu7TTXQ/s400/2+Kut+trace.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Note: I have numbered only 2 repeats of the pattern here.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZYgtj3WlJe8_W_lq925L-pACvxgLrQmtxUes2vcus3UDIhXxHfB2GienZkoHoGadHOsIlC846SCe29XuL_vSNQ7hEdmuls-zi6YlfFNtW-WI-IDZNmWKaiKRfPAqRGy5ULaY-A/s1600/3ske+trace+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="124" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZYgtj3WlJe8_W_lq925L-pACvxgLrQmtxUes2vcus3UDIhXxHfB2GienZkoHoGadHOsIlC846SCe29XuL_vSNQ7hEdmuls-zi6YlfFNtW-WI-IDZNmWKaiKRfPAqRGy5ULaY-A/s320/3ske+trace+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Observe that you were able to trace the pattern continuously without taking the pencil off the pattern to start again elsewhere. This is the path your skeleton will take.<br />
<br />
In the PIC 1 and PIC 2 below, I've striven to make my explanation for working the skeleton as clear as possible. I may even guilty of over explaining things. So, if you have grasped the general idea, simply ignore the rest.<br />

<b>Tip</b>: You can use the smallest motif with the satin stitch leaves around the neckline and the 1st motif can be spaced here and there on the kurta to give your outfit an exotic finish. </div>

I made this cushion cover a couple of months back and never got around to posting. It is a hot favourite in the family... Unfortunately, because of the light background colour, it also gets dirty pretty fast.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
At one point, I wondered if maybe I should forbid my family from using it as pillows under their heads while watching TV - but then, this is a home not a museum... so, we just enjoy it.<br />
<br />
This diaper pattern is actually pretty simply, if you have understood the basics of Kutchwork - the unders and overs.<br />
<br />
<strong>A diaper pattern</strong> is a pattern that repeats itself endlessly.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Here is the promised Kutchwork design of the <a href="http://needlecrazy.blogspot.com/2009/11/kutchwork-diaper-pattern.html">cushion</a> cover.<br />
<br />
This design can be adapted for a saree pallu, saree border, border for lower half of Kameez and sleeves.<br />
<br />
<strong>Before you begin:</strong><br />
<br />
1. Observe and understand the design. <br />
<br />
2. If you compare this design with the design in the cushion cover, you will observe that a cluster of 5 single diamonds separate the overall square blocks in the cushion cover whereas there are only 4 in the design above.<br />
<br />
3. You can increase the single diamond clusters to 6 or 7 to form bigger overall blocks and embellish the centers of alternate blocks with mirrors.<br />
<br />
4. As a general rule before you begin any large project with over all diaper patterns, always work a small - in this case - 4 blocks of the pattern - make sure you understand how it works - it will save you a lot of time and headache later.<br />
<br />
5. Use an inch graph to first plan your design. This ensures perfect designs. Use yellow carbon to transfer designs to fabric.<br />
<br />
6. Then again, if you are a computer whiz, you can generate your own perfect designs. You don't need any sofisticated software, you can even use the drawing tools in MS Word.<br />
<br />
7.You can buy inch graph sheets - usually you get 1 m sheets - from wholesale stationery shops - I've found that local stationery shops usually don't stock this. More often than not, they don't even know what it is.<br />
<br />
8. There are no specifications for the size of the single diamond. You can draw it as you wish. I usually use all six strands of Anchor stranded cotton as it gives a bold effect. <strong>So my squares are 3 square units on the inch graph.</strong><br />
<br />
9. Ideal threads for Kutchwork are, 4 strands of machine embroidery thread, Anchor stranded cotton - 2-6 strands depending on the size of your diamonds, cone thread, Anchor pearl Cotton -10gms balls.<br />
<br />
10. Always check if your thread is colour fast by <strong>actually soaking</strong> a bit of it in water and folding it in a damp piece of fabric - <strong>even if you buy good quality thread.</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
Have fun working this design.</div>

<strong>The Double Herringbone and interlacing</strong><br />
<br />
This motif is merely a build up of the Basic Single diamond. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/Double%20Herring%20Bone.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/Double%20Herring%20Bone.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0;" /></a> <br />
<br />
This motif has as its foundation, the Double Herringbone Stitch - the working of which is illustrated in the picture. Just be sure to follow the same principles of overs and unders we established in the previous lessons.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/Double%20HB%23.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/Double%20HB%23.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0;" /></a><br />
<br />
This illustration shows how to turn once the end of the motif is reached. Notice that the second part of the Double Herringbone is worked from left to right as a continuation of the first part.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now The upper part is interlaced first<br />
<br />

<br />
When you reach the end, turn and start interlacing the lower half.<br />
<br />

<b>The completed motif. </b><br />
<br />
If you have understood these lessons, you can create elaborate designs using these basic motifs. All you need is a graph notebook and some imagination. The possibilities are limitless. Have fun. <br />
I'll come back to you on this topic as and when I come across different motifs.</div>

<strong>The Double Maltese Cross - Foundation and Interlacing</strong><br />
<br />
As already mentioned, once you understand the basics, all others patterns are easy to execute. They are but combinations of the basic motifs.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/Sketch.1.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/Sketch.1.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
The sketch above is just a cluster of <strong>four Maltese Cross motifs </strong>linked together at the center by a <strong>Single Diamond</strong>.<br />
<br />
For the sake of discussion,let us call this motif the <strong>Double Maltese Cross.</strong><br />
<br />
There is no need for step-by-step instructions for this motif.<br />
<br />
So, how do you decide where to turn and where just to follow the lines?<br />
We have already discussed <strong>corners </strong>and <strong>intersections </strong>in <strong>lesson II Part I</strong>.<br />
Now here is what you do –<br />
When you reach a corner – turn<br />
When you reach an intersection – use it to reach the next square or in this case the next Maltese Cross <br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/DMC1.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/DMC1.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/DMC2.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/DMC2.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Now the filling or the interlacing –<br />
<br />
When you reach a corner – go around it.<br />
When you reach an intersection – turn and move on to the next square or in this case, the next Maltese Cross.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/DMC3.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/DMC3.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/DMC4.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/DMC4.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
The pictures above show the starting and finishing of the Double Maltese Cross.</div>

<strong>Interlacing the Maltese Cross</strong><br />
Make sure the Foundation or skeleton has been laid correctly before starting the interlacing. <br />
I have named the lines formed by the interlacing only for discussion sake.<br />

The wrong side of fabric after completing the Maltese Cross.<br />
<br />
<i>The interlacing, like the skeleton or the foundation always ends at the starting point.</i><br />
<br />
<strong>Points to remember:</strong><br />
1. Except at the starting point and at the end, the needle does not pierce the fabric - it only passes <strong>under </strong>or <strong>over </strong>previously laid thread.<br />
2.Observe the lines in GroupA and Group B listed below.<br />
<br />
<strong>Group A</strong><br />
A=I=1<br />
A1 = I1 = 2<br />
K1 = K3 = 3<br />
K=4<br />
K2 = 5<br />
E2 = 6<br />
E=7<br />
E1= E3 = 8<br />
C1 = G1 = 9<br />
C=G=10<br />
<br />
Similarly,<br />
<br />
<strong>Group B</strong><br />
L=D=1<br />
L1=D1=2<br />
B1=B3=3<br />
B=4<br />
B2=5<br />
H2= 6<br />
H=7<br />
H1=H3=8<br />
F1=J1=9 <br />
F=J=10<br />
<br />
In this motif, we can thus count upto 10 parallel lines in any direction. <br />
The lines in the Group A are all Perpendicular to the lines in Group B<br />
<br />
The odd numbered lines in Group A are under even numbered lines in group B<br />
and even numbered lines in Group A are over odd numbered lines in group B.<br />
<br />
From here on, if you have clearly understood the instructions, Kutchwork is very simple because we merely move from square to square building up on the Maltese Cross.<br />
All patterns are but variations of the Maltese Cross and the Basic Diamond or combinations of both.<br />
<br />
If my instructions are more confusing than instructive, I would like to know.</div>

When I tried to save the lessons, I found, I could'nt. Some pictures could be saved and some could'nt be. It took me a while to find out what format when uploaded displayed the pictures in a saved file. I hope I have figured it out right.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Maltese Cross – Laying the Foundation</strong><br />
This is a slightly more complicated than the basic diamond.<br />
Transfer the pattern to fabric.<br />

For the sake of discussion and understanding, we’ll name the squares I, II, III, IV and V.<br />
<br />
<br />
We’ll refer to "L" as corners and "+" as Cross-overs or intersections.<br />
<br />

The skeleton or the foundation for the <strong>Maltese Cross </strong>is complete.<br />
Once laying the foundation for the <strong>Maltese Cross </strong>is mastered, we are ready to move on to <strong>interlacing the foundation</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Points to remember:</strong><br />
1.The foundation starts at the lower left corner of square A and ends in the same place.<br />
2.Square V is the junction we use to move from one square to the next.<br />
3.Check that the criss-crossings at the intersections have been done correctly before moving on to filling.<br />
<br />
<strong>Note:</strong> <br />
1. While is alright to start the skeleton in any corner, to avoid confusion always start at the lower left corner. <br />
2. If you are brave enough to start at any corner go right ahead just make sure you have understood the <strong>concept of the unders and overs</strong>.</div>

<strong>Mastering the Basic Diamond - the interlacing</strong><br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDF5.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDF5.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
The next step is filling or interlacing the foundation or the skeleton.<br />
<br />
<strong>Note: </strong>I will be using the terms filling and interlacing interchangeably. So too the terms foundation and skeleton.<br />
<br />
Bring the needle up between 1 and 8 as in the picture.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDF1.2.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDF1.2.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Pass the needle<br />
<strong>over </strong>1 and <strong>under </strong>D <br />
<strong>over </strong>B and <strong>under </strong>2 = Line A1 is formed<br />
<strong>over </strong>3 and <strong>under </strong>A = goes around corner.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDF2.0.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDF2.0.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDF3.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDF3.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
<strong>Over </strong>C and <strong>under </strong>4 = Line B1 formed<br />
<strong>Over </strong>5 and <strong>under </strong>B = goes around the next corner.<br />
<br />
<strong>Over </strong>B1<br />
<br />
<strong>Over </strong>D and <strong>under </strong>6 = Line C1 is formed<br />
<strong>Over </strong>7 and <strong>under </strong>C = goes around the next corner<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDF4.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDF4.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
<strong>Over </strong>C1 and <strong>under </strong>A1<br />
<strong>Over </strong>A and <strong>under </strong>8 = back to the starting point wherein the needle is inserted back into the fabric.<br />
<br />
<strong>Points to remember:</strong><br />
1. Except at the starting point and at the end, the needle is only passed under or over previously laid thread.<br />
2. You can count upto 4 parallel lines in any direction in this motif. Observe that if the odd numbered threads are under line A, then the even numbered threads are over line A and vice versa. The same is true for lines B, C and D also.<br />
<br />
This again is a very important step. It should be perfected before moving on to the <strong>Maltese Cross.</strong></div>

Use a frame for the embroidery. The fabric should not be stretched tightly - it will lead to pluckering of embroidery when the frame is removed. The fabric should not sag within the frame either.<br />
<br />
<strong>Mastering the Basic Diamond - Foundation</strong><br />
<br />
Lines A, B, C and D form the basic square or diamond depending on how it is drawn.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDPF%201.0.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDPF%201.0.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Points 1 and 2 are extensions of the line A at the two ends of line A.<br />
Points 3 and 4 are extensions of the line A at the two ends of line B.<br />
Points 5 and 6 are extensions of the line A at the two ends of line C.<br />
Points 7 and 8 are extensions of the line A at the two ends of line D.<br />
<br />
Bring the needle up at 1 <br />
Take it down at 2<br />
<br />
Bring it up at 3<br />
Take it down at 4<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDF1.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDF1.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Up at 5<br />
Down at 6<br />
<br />
Up at 7<br />
At this point, pass the needle under line A and down at 8.<br />
<br />
The skeleton or the foundation for the basic diamond is now complete.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE FIG ABOVE - 6 AND 7 SHOULD BE INTERCHANGED</strong> Thank you Manjeri for pointing it out.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/BDS.png"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/BDS.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
The pictures show pictorial representation and the Basic Diamondworked on fabric.<br />
<br />
Did you notice that…<br />
<br />
One end of A is <strong>over </strong>D and the other <strong>under </strong>B<br />
One end of B is <strong>over </strong>A and the other <strong>under </strong>C<br />
One end of C is <strong>over </strong>B and the other <strong>under </strong>D<br />
One end of D is <strong>over </strong>C and the other <strong>under </strong>A<br />
<br />
Understanding this <strong>alternating sequence </strong>of <strong>overs </strong>and <strong>unders </strong>is the secret behind successful working of Kutchwork.<br />
<br />
It is essential to understand and master this concept before proceeding to the next step.</div>

<br />
The Single Diamond - is the simplest motif used in Kutchwork.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/The%20Basic%20Diamond.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/The%20Basic%20Diamond.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
The next motif is the Maltese Cross...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/Maltese%20Cross%201.1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/Maltese%20Cross%201.1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
followed by the interlacing stitch in a shade of pink. The motif in red is a combination of 2 lines of interlacing joined together by a Maltese Cross.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/The%20interlacing%20Stitch.1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/The%20interlacing%20Stitch.1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
The Picture below is a combination of 4 Maltese Cross motifs joining to form a single more intricate and interesting motif.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The design possibilities using these simple motifs are limitless.<br />
The picture below is one such combination of the 4 motifs PLUS a mirror in the center. I could get in only 3/4 th of the embroidered piece as I scanned the embroidery directly instead of photographing it. I am sure you can imagine what the full piece would look like. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have just completed a small Kutchwork sampler in shades of red and pink for my Kutchwork summer class. I have stitched a mirror in the center.<br />
<br />
I have not decided whether to use a delicate tatted lace as edging to compliment the bright filled in motifs or a crochet lace worked in pearl cotton.<br />
<br />
<b>Update: </b>I decided on a crochet lace because it was quicker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/1600/kutchwork.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6165/2282/320/kutchwork.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In India, with her rich and varied culture and traditions – craft flourished thanks to royal patronage. Embroidery in the different regions of India, is as rich, distinctive, varied and colourful as the people inhabiting them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The embroidery of Kutch and its neighbouring Saurashta is probably the most colourful and eye-catching. It flourished in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It employs simple stitches like the herringbone, buttonhole, chain and open chain stitches. The interlacing stitch (looping around the double herringbone stitch) and the Maltese Cross stitch are predominant. The work is embellished with mirrors and sometimes even shells.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Geometric motifs are built using the <i>Maltese Cross</i> and <i>Interlacing stitch</i>. A truly amazing combination patterns are churned out using just these. Once the basic “overs” and “unders” of the interlacing are mastered, even a beginner can execute a seemingly complicated pattern, with relative ease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Now, here is the interesting part – The Maltese cross and the Interlacing stitch are also predominantly used in Armenian Embroidery.There are very clear instructions for drawing the motifs and interlacing in their <a href="http://armenianembroidery.tripod.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />
<br />
Armenia, is a small pocket north east of Turkey. <br />
<br />
Some researchers believe that the interlacing stitch was brought to the Kutch region by Arab traders – that the stitches were characteristic of traditional Sindhi embroidery (Kutchwork) practiced widely by immigrants from Sind and Baluchistan (western Pakistan).<br />
<br />
Maybe the stitches originated in the Arab nations of Iraq and Iran, spread upwards to Armenia and downwards to the Sind region and to Kutch region in India.<br />
<br />
This is a Sofa-back I embroidered using the interlacing stitch, the Maltese Cross stitch, satin stitch and stem stitch.<br />
