Kasuti embroidery comes from North Karnataka, traditionally done by Lingayat women. It uses four stitches: gavanti, murgi, neygi, and menthi. The embroidery looks identical on both sides of the fabric.

The stitcher counts fabric threads and creates patterns without any pre-drawn design. The gavanti (double running) stitch produces patterns that look the same on both sides. No knots are used anywhere in the work.

Hand embroidery has a slightly irregular stitch pattern on the reverse side. Machine embroidery shows perfectly uniform stitches. The texture and depth of hand stitching is visibly different.

Handle embroidered areas gently. Avoid rubbing against rough surfaces. If a thread catches, don't pull. push it back gently with a needle. Proper care keeps the embroidery intact for years.
