Torah Temimah — Yoma 72b

Core Text of Chazal

וּכְתִיב: ״מַעֲשֵׂה חֹשֵׁב״. אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר: שֶׁרוֹקְמִין בִּמְקוֹם שֶׁחוֹשְׁבִין.

English

Rabbi Elazar explains “ma'aseh choshev” as embroidery in which the design is formed at the place where it is conceived. This distinguishes the work described here from ordinary single-sided embroidery.
