Several layers (usually two to seven) of different-colored cloth (usually cotton) are sewn together; the design is then formed by cutting away parts of each layer. The edges of the layers are then turned under and sewn down. Often, the stitches are nearly invisible. This is achieved by using a thread the same color as the layer being sewn, sewing blind stitches, and sewing tiny stitches. The finest molas have extremely fine stitching, made using tiny needles. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg/220px-VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg/330px-VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg/440px-VenancioMolaCloseup.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>This closeup of a mola by Venancio Restrepo shows the layering of the different colors of cloth, and the fine stitching involved.</figcaption></figure> <p>The largest pattern is typically cut from the top layer, and progressively smaller patterns from each subsequent layer, thus revealing the colors beneath in successive layers.
