This self-contained decorative unit can be woven into a fabric pattern, embroidered onto a surface, or created separately as lace or crochet to be stitched on later. Designers use them to build larger repeating patterns across yardage or place them strategically as focal points on a finished garment. In lacemaking and quilting, individual units are often joined together to form the final piece.
