Contemporary nakshi kantha by Padmaja Krishnan, from the author’s collection (32 x 25cm / 12½ x 10in).

Kantha technique

The techniques used in kantha-style work are rhythmic and absorbing. Having explored a small square of running stitch as described here, you may wish to extend the idea and work with some traditional kantha stitching patterns. The ideas shown here are not meant to replicate / imitate, but to introduce a style of working using repetitive stitch. Different ways of stitching, using simple patterns, are very effective when repeated and create an undulating, rippling effect on the cloth.
