Precision cutting and Kantha joining techniques

Facilitated by Shabana K H

Activity

To achieve exact square dimensions, we ironed fabric directly onto stiff paper, establishing a stable foundation for precise cutting. Further experiments in joining individual Kantha pieces revealed that working without pre-stitching required intense focus, as minor movements risked disturbing the entire alignment. Despite these balance challenges, completing 70% of the work demonstrated that continuous technique refinement is essential for mastering high-precision craft assembly.
