Antep Isi, or drawn thread embroidery, is a centuries-old needlework technique that traditionally involves working on white fabric with white thread. The threads are drawn and cut to create designs and patterns that have been passed down for centuries. Today, the embroidery is sometimes made using coloured fabrics and threads. Drawn thread embroidery cannot be mass-produced and requires careful, skilled work. It is usually performed on embroidery hoops for smaller fabrics and frames for larger ones. The embroidered fabric is used in daily life, including for clothes, table covers, bedsheets and accessories.
