Technique: Coiling


Coiling: is a technique which involves sewing. A foundation material is coiled upwards and stitched into place. A pointed tool called an awl is used to pierce a hole in each coil. The sewing element is then threaded through the hole and fastens each coil to the coil below it. (In coiling, the weft is the active weaving element and the warp is the bundle around which the weft is sewn.)
