Jira rakarukwa chinhu chakagadzirwa nezvisungo zveshinda zvinobatana. Chinogona kugadzirwa nehunyanzvi hwekuruka nemaoko kana nemuchina uye chinowanzoshandiswa kugadzira mbatya. Machira akarukwa ane hunhu hwakasiyana nemachira akarukwa, ayo akagadzirwa achishandisa machira ekuruka kwete netsono.

Maitiro ekuruka greige anosanganisira kushandisa michina yakati wandei yakagadzirwa kuti pave nechimiro chaunoda uye patani mujira. Kutanga, mupumburu mukuru weshinda unoiswa mumudziyo wemagetsi unonzi warper, unogadzirira shinda kuti dzirukwe pamwechete kuita tambo mbiri dzinonzi "warp ends." Migumo iyi inoiswa musimbi inochekwa pajira, uko inoumba dandemutande rinobatana rinonzi "fill" kana "knit ground," iro rinoumba hwaro hwepasi hwejira rakarukwa. Kana jira iri rapera, mamwe matanda ane mavara akasiyana anogona kuwedzerwa kusvika dhizaini yaunoda yawanikwa. Pakupedzisira, matanda aya anobatanidzwa pamwe chete panzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana pakureba kwawo nemasitichi anonzi selvedges, uye obva achekwa kuti agadzire chigadzirwa chapera, chakagadzirira kugadziriswazve, senge kudhaya kana kudhinda kana zvichidikanwa.

Musiyano uripo pakati pemachira akarukwa neakarukwa unonyanya kuitika mumagadzirirwo aanoitwa. Machira akarukwa anosanganisira mapoka eshinda dzakamira dzakasungirirwa, nepo machira akarukwa aine zvishwe zvakasiyana-siyana zvinobatana zvakamira kune rimwe divi (zvinonzi "stocking stitches"). Izvi zvinoreva kuti kazhinji panenge pasina ruzivo rwakawanda kana tichienzanisa nemapatani akarukwa, sezvo pasina chikonzero chekuruka kwakaoma senge mu tapestry kana quilt - pachinzvimbo, machira anongopindirana, achiumba mabhuroko akasimba, pane kuva nechimiro chemaitiro echinyakare. Machira akarukwa ane maitiro akaomarara ane zvinhu zvidiki zvakawanda.
