These embroideries were seen as a symbol of elegance and aesthetics in the Ottoman palaces and used by the sultans in their bindallı caftans. The fact that Emine Hatun, who married from the Dulkadiroğlu Principality to the Ottoman Palace, and Sitti Hatun, who married Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, had glaze embroidery among their dowries made this Turkish handicraft even more recognized. As the interest in sim glaze embroidery, which is known to have been practiced since the Seljuk period, increased over time, it separated from saddlery and became a separate branch of art.

Sim glaze works have an important place among the dowries of brides today as they did in the past. In Kahramanmaraş, there are many masters doing this job and sim glaze embroidery continues actively. In sim glaze embroidery, the bottom of the pattern is embossed with a specially prepared cardboard and 3, 5, 7 layers of glaze are thrown over the pattern and fastened with thread on the edges. The same process is continued side by side. It is embroidered on very thin fabrics and leather.
