Quick Summary
Sewed coiling is a basketry technique where a foundation of fine fibers is sewn together with a needle and thread. Each coil is pierced and bound to the preceding one. This method is prevalent in regions like the African savannas, arid areas of southern Eurasia, and parts of North America. The appearance of the finished product can vary depending on whether the thread covers the foundation or passes through the center of the previous stitch. Sewing, in general, involves uniting or fastening with stitches.12
