Lines on fabrics can be categorized into four fundamental shape groups:
Geometric Shapes: These encompass regular forms like squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles.
Natural or Organic Shapes: Inspired by nature, these shapes include elements such as leaves and flowers, characterized by their curves.
Abstract Shapes: These are non-representational forms generated through imaginative combinations of lines and shapes.
Figurative Shapes: These shapes represent recognizable figures, including human and animal forms.
These shape categories are utilized in textile designs to enhance visual appeal and introduce variety.
