Technique: The chain stitch technique (técnica de cadenilla) from the Istmo de Tehuantepec is a traditional embroidery method that uses a continuous looped stitch to create intricate and flowing designs. This technique is often executed using a hand-operated pedal machine from the early 19th century, which gives each piece a distinct handcrafted quality. The chain stitch creates a textured, raised effect, making it ideal for detailed floral and geometric patterns, commonly seen in the region's vibrant textile art. It reflects the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the Istmo de Tehuantepec.
