is a fancy work inclusive of the stitching and darning job. Phulkari means the

vertical, horizontal and diagonal seaming and basting. Here the embroidery work
is done on the opposite side of the fabrics while the running and organization
of threads are monitored on the other side. The work is tailored by different
methods like darning, stem, herringbone, satin, straight, back, running,
blanket, split, cross, and chain stitch. Green threads are vastly used in this
work. The art are done to abrasives hence the motifs could be controlled with
out frames though the outline of the structure are delineated earlier by
colored pencil and single thread to avoid geometrical asymmetry.
