Smok

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smoking through decorative stitches (pattern)

Smok is an ornament on textiles . These are small decorative wrinkles that are fixed with decorative stitches or an elastic or inelastic decorative effect resulting from multiple rows of the fabric.

For this purpose, the lined up or folded fabric is held in place with staggered decorative stitches.
