One of the important techniques of Saurashtra is the heer embroidery which has
bold geometric patterns worked in silk. The Mutwa women of the Banni area
of Kutch have a distinct style of embroidery. They create fine embroidery works
with stylized motifs and mirrors of the size of pinheads. The Gracia Jats use
geometric patterns of embroidery works on the yoke of their long dresses.
Sauurashtra also makes embroidered quilts. Kutch prepares quilts with appliqué
works and also makes quilts from small multi- colored cloth pieces. Bikaner has
a distinct style of embroidery, which is prepared on woolen ordhnis with woolen
thread. They stimulate the Bandhani effect.
