A textile technique where shapes cut from one fabric are stitched onto another. Felt is the classic material because it does not fray, so the cut edge can be left raw — which is why the style reads as soft-edged flat shapes.

How simple does my image need to be?

Simpler than you expect. Every element becomes a cut shape, so a photo with dozens of small details produces a cluttered result. Bold silhouettes and a limited palette translate best.
