    Painting :Classes & Materials : Queries

    Hi
    I am looking for someone who can teach cot embroidery in Madurai in a short period of time as I will be visiting India durinng december, for few week. I already knew free hand, kasuti, kamal kadai, kutchi emb.. etc.. At the same time as I am a NRI, is there anyway to buy the cot in a mini version so that it can also travel with me :) I have only heard about cot embroidery but no clue about that! What are the speciality stitches we can do with that?
    Regards
    Lilly07

    dear lily,
    hope i am right but it is coat embroidary, which is famous in madurai, the wedding groom also gets spruced up with a nice embroidary stuff like the north indians wedding of sherwani type, but down south it is different, kindly chek on it with the google site they give u along with pictures too...sunkan

    Lilly if it is coat embroidery as sunkan says than use google. otherwise, if you are referring to what i am describing, a cot is used as a frame for embroidery on sarees, and also to do zardosi work. I have seen one recently being used in a tailor shop. I am not sure of a short version of the same.
