I just wanna guess from what I understand of the word, Would removeding in this mean that you are doing a stick or hatched type of stitching?
removeding refers to ladder like stitches made with threads across an open area between fabrics.
Really, isnt that just a whip stitch?

It’s a form of “insertion work.” Artistic knots and such to connect two panels. In this dress, it’s those lines down the front of the shirt and skirt. The name refers to the “bundles” you make of knotted thread.

see I knew it had to have the roots in that term (bundle of sticks) the image I saw didnt have the back up and over three stitches, I guess that is what makes it more embroidery then just a sewing stitch.

Yeah - and a whip stitch would be more for holding two pieces of fabric flat on top of each other + edging. This is more like you are connecting two panels with a kind of lace that you want to be fairly visible.
The book’s author (this is Book of Colonial Needlwork by Elizabeth Musheno) points out that most American colonial women were kind making it up as they went along and got their decorative motifs from every day life - so it would make sense that they would think of bundles of firewood.

while its thru the fabric on the left and right do they also go thru it or is it just to wrap the middle? if the former then it would also look like a simple flower pattern (I would think).

Come on down and make a dbzer0 account where words aren’t censored to “protect” you from being offended!

in general I get why banning the word just because people wanna be edgy, but I fell like it should at least goto a mod list of like is this acceptable as there was more to it then just the word.
ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
hehe, Lemmy censors on full blast.

I feel like the mods should be able to be like, no in this instance the word is correct, but I dont know what kinda tools they offer for them or if this is just a full on instance thing. either way I now know what it is.
