缝 (fèng) vs 织 (zhī) — use 縫 (fèng) when referring specifically to sewing or mending, while 织 (zhī) refers to weaving or knitting.
A common mistake is to confuse 縫 (fèng) with 缝 (fèng), which has a similar meaning but is more colloquial. 縫 is more formal and often used in written contexts. Pay attention to tone, as using the wrong tone could change the meaning entirely.
