OvershotUpdated 6 months ago

Overshot is a decorative technique that combines a plain weave background with complex, eye-catching patterns. This technique is known for creating large, repeating motifs and is often used in traditional American coverlets. Overshot patterns are woven with two sets of weft threads—one for the design and one for the base.

Pro Tip: Use a contrasting color for the pattern weft to make the overshot design pop against the plain weave.
