Technique: Backstitch embroidery with cotton threads is a traditional artisanal technique from Oaxaca, deeply rooted in the region's textile culture. This method makes backward stitches over the previously laid thread, creating linear and continuous patterns with great precision and detail. This technique is commonly used in creating blouses, huipiles, and other traditional textiles, where geometric, floral, or animal motifs represent the connection to nature and indigenous roots.
