When embroidering a deity's robes, it is necessary to first draw a design on the embroidery cloth, before stretching the cloth in an "embroidery frame." The design is first embroidered on the flat surface to form the "base embroidery," before adding raised patterns using cotton wadding, and then assembling the garment by machine stitching.
刺繡神衣，需先將圖案畫在繡布上，再以「繡架」將布撐開，先按圖案做平面刺繡，稱為「繡底」，之後舖棉「走線」，最後車縫組裝。
