Kasuti Embroidery of Karnataka
Kasuti work involves embroidering very intricate patterns like gopura, chariot, palanquin, lamps . Locally available materials are used for Kasuti. The pattern to be embroidered is first marked with charcoal or pencil and then proper needles and thread are selected. The work is laborious and involves counting of each thread on the cloth. The patterns are stitched without using knots to ensure that both sides of the cloth look alike.

Your description suggests that one uses double running stitch, or it wouldn't be possible for both sides to be the same. How do you hide the ends then? Just take tiny stitches and hide them under a long one?
