Two communities are especially known for quilts decorated entirely with embroidery stitches: the Saami and the Jogi people. The Saami are a nomadic group who travel with their camels from Pakistan to Iran and back to India each year. Their “home base” is in the Badin area of Pakistan, where they hold marriages and other celebrations. Saami quilts typically have a black or dark background, with designs created entirely through colored thread, which serves as both embroidery and quilting, since the stitching holds the multiple layers of fabric together. Sometimes makers use a piece of brightly printed fabric for the center field and apply embroidery only to the borders. Saami embroiders commonly employ around twenty different stitches, including the intricate hurmutch stitch characteristic of South Asia.

The Jogi, or Snake Charmer, community is known for its color scheme of browns, oranges, and yellows. Jogi makers produce embroidered quilts as well as patchwork and appliqué examples.

An interesting part of the construction process is that these quilts are sewn from the outer edges inward toward the center. Despite the difficulties of frequently moving with their camels, the women maintain remarkably even stitching and often achieve a symmetrical rectangular design in the quilt's center.
