I learn kasuti design from my mother. Kasuti is a traditional form of embroidery practiced in the state of Karnataka, India. Kasuti work which is very intricate sometimes involves putting up to 5,000 stitches by hand and is traditionally made on dresswear like Ilkal and Kanchivaram sarees(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasuti).
Kasuti work involves embroidering very intricate patterns like gopura, chariot, flowers, border and conch shells. Locally available materials are used for Kasuti. needles and thread are selected. The work is laborious and involves counting of each thread on the cloth. The patterns are stitched without using knots to ensure that both sides of the cloth look alike. Different varieties of stitches
