<p>[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 1596015, member: 31"]The white fabric was created first - its whole cloth. Then the black thread was added - I don't know by what method, but the black figures are made up of long black threads that go the entire width of the fabric, so it isn't satin stitch. But the black threads don't go back and forth, back and forth - they end at the edge, are cut off, and then a new thread is started on the other side just under that one. There are two selvage sides - it's 22" wide, and probably was much longer than 35".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
