This type of embroidery had been practiced in Marash and other parts of Cilician Armenia before that time. <br />Thus the Armenian claim to being the first to invent this type of embroidery is at least plausible, if perhaps impossible to prove definitively. <br />Also there is no evidence of any cultural link between Kutch and Halychyna at all.<br />Thank you for reading, I am glad for your input.<br /><br />Roman Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213975677459078209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-14333684984020420702013-08-05T08:30:59.173-05:002013-08-05T08:30:59.173-05:00You mention that this may be a borrowed stitch/tec...You mention that this may be a borrowed stitch/technique. Yes, it it. It is derived from Kutchwork - a technique prevalent for centuries in Rajasthan in Northwest India where it is worked along with shisha mirrors.Maya Heathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877794363543238484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-25209556900692444372013-07-07T11:43:53.866-05:002013-07-07T11:43:53.866-05:00My friend Vasy Jula has been reading this and has ...My friend Vasy Jula has been reading this and has informed me that in Horoden'ka this is not technically an insertion stitch, as it does not actually form the seam, but is done over the seam as an ornamental technique. It basically consists of taking buttonhole stitches alternately on the two sides, then doing a second, and possibly a third journey in between and weaving the threads over and under each other. The technique actually remains the same, many insertion stitches also work as surface stitchesRoman Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213975677459078209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-43984583196526226372013-07-04T11:57:45.987-05:002013-07-04T11:57:45.987-05:00Many thank for your reply.

It is a joining stitch, or insertion stitch, of which there are many in Ukraine. That is actually a seam. The thread pierces the edges of the two pieces of cloth, and interlaces in between to form a decorative joining. You are right, it is very attractive, and very widespread in this part of Ukraine. It is made with a thick thread to make a strong seam and for texture. One possibility is the 'Cretan Stitch', another possibility would be to make buttonhole stitches alternately on each edge see this web page<br />http://baroqueembellishments.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/openwork-insertion-seams-work-on-scarf.html<br />If you have access to Tania Diakiw O'Neil's book, she has some good illustrations.<br />Thank you again for reading.<br />Roman Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213975677459078209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-55196794160497977692013-07-02T15:31:40.965-05:002013-07-02T15:31:40.965-05:00Hi Roman, so sorry to take your time with a questi...Hi Roman, so sorry to take your time with a question, but what is that beautiful stitch with a thick thread that lies on one side of these embroidered panels (one can see it very clearly on picture 17)? Is this what you mean by herringbone? It's so beautiful that I felt I just had to ask you. I've been following your blog for over a year now and would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your very generous and so wonderfully informative work.Liana D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13471034574371683288noreply@blogger.com
