The method used by Dimitri Vlachos - Castano is identical to the method used by the first artist and inspirer of this art.

The thin needle passes through the golden wire... it goes through the fabric in a surgical manner of unimaginable accuracy and realises the design that he had previously conceived himself.

These smooth movements require excessive self-concentration.

Such movements are repeated a million times, but always with the same attention because even the tiniest mistake may fatally lead to the disaster of the entire prior creation even if it is the last stitch.

This does not only happen because it is very hard to correct it but also because the original must be absolutely perfect and nothing less!

The tiniest mistake costs not only in very expensive material but in many hours of painful and hard work and also immense Jobean patience.
