faggoting
Bundled embroidery technique
Faggoting is a decorative needlework technique that joins two pieces of fabric with open, crisscrossed stitches, leaving a ladder-like gap between them.
The effect appears on heirloom linens, blouses, and lingerie.
The word comes from the resemblance to bundles of sticks (faggots) tied together.
Also spelled fagoting.
