The embroideries are embossed work done with needle on already made fabrics. The labranderas or seamstresses work and embroider by hand fabrics as a homemade canvas, made in manual looms with linen fiber. The fraying strips are rectangular, finished off at the edges with the bridal stitch.  

The steps of the process of classical Lagartera craftsmanship range from the fraying of the fabric, making warps, cutting and pulling out threads, sowing or basting, making the "cuajado" to prevent the threads from unraveling and finally making the piece a hem or hem on all four sides, topped by a hem, also called "repulgo" in Lagartera. The thread was usually wool or yarn in natural color and then dyed, but silk was also widely used, especially to embroider the ribbons of the chevrons that make up the feminine clothing. 

Materials: fabric made of linen, cotton, canvas or terylene. Mouliné threads, and fine pearls or reels. 

It is known the existence of a workshop of labranderas property of Catalina Fernández Lozano in the neighborhood Lagarterano de Toledillo in the sixteenth century.
