In contrast, shisha embroidery in Kathiawar uses long satin stitches in square or triangular motifs.<sup id="cite_ref-gross_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gross-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Central_Indian_nomads">Central Indian nomads</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Shisha_(embroidery)&amp;action=edit&amp;section=7" title="Edit section: Central Indian nomads"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some researchers believe that the tribes of nomads who inhabit Central India originated the practice of attaching mirrors, beads, and shells to fabric with stitches, and that these nomadic tribes spread the practice to other regions. Shisha embroidery in these tribes is unusual in that the fabric is almost entirely covered by mirrors and their stitched frames, with little or no decorative embroidery between.
