Default A few common Middle Eastern Stiches

As a follow up on the xst of the Beduin , i want to add some more info

xst is easier in desert as it is done on Gross woven cloth , in
situations when somebody can`t copy or use 'patterns" .alsosince this
dreses are worn daily , while doing household and Shepherding work ,
xst is more practical , it doesn`t easily catch on something and gets
pulled out of place!!!!
in Urban parts there are more elaborate st.
Satin or flat stich, [seena lot in Beth Lehem Works and in Nazereth
and upper Galilee ,
Couching stich is not very common , but one sees it here/there/
Creatn St , For filling and Joining .
Fishbone st.
Stem st. [outlining and and filling]
Running st.
Chain st. [used a lot to outline patterns ]
