Embroidery is often referred to as “thread painting” because it creates such a lovely effect. Embroidered cloth can be used for business and promotional purposes, creative expression, fashion, and more. It truly is an art form that dates back to around the 5th century BCE. If you’re thinking about learning this craft or you’re just interested in some trivia about embroidery, check out these seven things that you might not have known about it.
#1. Embroidered Material Is Very Durable
Embroiderymakes clothing and fabric safe for washing machines, fabric cleaners, and everyday wear and tear. Even weather conditions and heavy laundering that uses high heat won’t break down the fibers. What’s more, the colors stay vibrant for years to come. From this point of view, embroidery combines form and function!
#2. There Are Different Hand-Embroidered Stitches
A running stitch is a simple technique that is often used with other stitches such as back, split, or stem stitching. Cross and chain stitches are named for the pattern in which the individual passes the thread over the material. Other hand stitches include French knots, satin, feathering, and couching stitches.
#3. Many Types of Fabrics Can Be Embroidered
Embroidered chiffon fabric is lightweight and sheer, perfect for adding a feminine touch to a look. Embroidered net fabric is intricate yet sturdy and often features floral motifs. Embroidered rayon fabric is an economical choice that offers lots of style options to choose from. That being said, cheap, everyday fabric won’t be the best material for your embroidery. You want something with high quality and durability that will also look pristine. That’s why embroidered wedding fabric can be expensive but worth it.
In addition, some embroidery enthusiasts will find just about anything to work with, be it paper, cushions, pillows, napkins, or tapestries.
#4. There Are Global Styles All Over the World
Each region has its own technique and some popular motifs and patterns that crop up around that area. For example, in France, floral embroidered fabric shows up on etui, little decorative carrying cases for things such as makeup or personal items. Things such as appliques, beads, and buttons are often added to the white embroidered fabric for more visual appeal.
Over in Sweden, individuals often work with Perle cotton for a technique called huck weaving. Dala embroidery is popular in Sweden and incorporates lots of folk elements on allover embroidered fabric. A hop, skip, and jump away in Ireland, it’s not uncommon to see Celtic knots and crosses on embroidered cotton fabric.
This handicraft is present in Asia too; in Japan, there is an interesting technique of decorating Temari balls with thread. These colorful, embroidered balls often depict natural elements and are given as gifts around the New Year.
India is one of the meccas of embroidery design dress material. Indian embroidered fabric is ornate, is vivid, and incorporates other materials such as mirrors or glass. The subcontinent abounds with different embroidery patterns and styles so visitors will see something new in each place they visit.
#5. Embroidery Is Not Applique
The two seem strikingly similar yet they have their differences. Embroidery involves weaving different-colored thread onto a material while applique is when a person sews a piece of cloth to another material to add dimension. The two techniques can work together, however, and many designs incorporate both embroidery and applique to create beautiful works.
#6. The Most Famous Example of Embroidery Is the Bayeux Tapestry
One of the most well-known embroidered works in the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the story of William the Conqueror in 1066. It’s about 230 feet long and shows 70 different scenes that were woven with wool yarn. The two primary stitches in this piece include couching and stem stitching.
India also popularized several types of embroideries such as Aari, Chikankari, Kantha, Kashidakari, Phulkari, Rajasthani, and Zardozi. Patchwork, weaving with gold and silver threads and stitching concentric circles make up some of these stunning techniques. Flower motifs are commonly seen in Punjabi, while more traditional symbols and designs can be found in Odisha. The delicate Chikankari style is said to have originated from Nur Jehan, the wife of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Furthermore, cotton embroidered dress material in Delhi is popular to this day, as is embroidered net fabric in India.
#7. Embroidery Today Is a Blend of Old and New
Traditionally, embroidered fabric for dresses and art objects used linen, silk, or wool. Different geographic locations, of course, used whatever was most available at the time. Over thousands of years, trends developed and handicraft workers began to experiment with new yarns and grounding fabrics. Today, most manufactured embroidery thread comes in cotton and rayon as well as more traditional materials.
Moreover, the technology age has ushered in digital embroidery, in which a computerized machine digitizes the embroidery on printed fabric. Embroidery machines can add “fillers” to the designs to create more intriguing textures. There is even 3D embroidered fabric that adds a new layer of intrigue to these embellished designs.

Are you a Garment or a Home furnishings or an accessories manufacturer who is looking for an answer to the question that how Twill fabric can be used then do watch out this video for clarity.
Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, before telling you about the uses of Twill fabric, I will quickly explain what Twill is. Twill is a general term used for woven fabrics that are woven with a twill weave construction.
It is one of three fundamental types of textile weaves along with plain weave and satin. In Twill weave, one thread goes over and under 2 threads repeatedly. The weft thread is passed over one or more warp threads and then under two or more warp threads and so on, with a “step” or offset between rows to create the characteristic diagonal pattern.
This diagonal pattern is its most predominant feature. The high thread count of twill, due to its tightly woven construction, gives this textile potential to be both water and wind resistant. If you are seeking a material which is sturdy and robust but still has a lovely drape, then twill fabric is the best option. Thanks to its diagonal weave, it drapes better than plain weave fabrics.
Another key advantage is that twill withstands heavy wear and tear, making it a great choice for home furnishings, outerwear and jeans. It doesn’t need to be ironed as frequently as a plain weave and is relatively easy to repair if it gets snagged.
Traditionally made from cotton, twill fabric is a popular choice for when a heavy and sturdier fabric is required. There are 3 kinds of basic twill fabric and each has its own purpose: Lightweight – also known as surah or foulard. Lightweight twill fabrics are made of silk or synthetic fabric, such as polyester. Although the fabric used is thin, the weave makes it quite durable. This material is used for items such as neck ties, lingerie, slips and linings.
Heavy twill – also known as serge. Heavier twills are traditionally used for outerwear, such as trench coats. Generally, Thicker versions are used for work clothing. Denim – generally has blue cotton yarns in one direction and white cotton yarns in the other direction. It is strong and durable and a very popular choice for jeans. Other twill weaves that are often used for clothing include, calvary twill – smooth, made from wool with diagonal lines, drill – heavy, made from cotton, and chino – relatively lightweight, made from cotton.

Are you a Garment or a Home furnishings manufacturer who is confused whether Ikat is a printing technique, or a weave or a name of a dyeing process? If yes, then do watch out this video for clarity. Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi.
So friends, Ikat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs resist dyeing, a type of dyeing, on the yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric. In simple words, yarns are first dyed and then woven into a cloth. In ikat the resist is formed by binding individual yarns or bundles of yarns with a tight wrapping applied in the desired pattern. The yarns are then dyed.
The bindings may then be altered to create a new pattern and the yarns could be dyed again with another colour. This process may be repeated multiple times to produce elaborate, multicolored patterns. When the dyeing is finished all the bindings are removed and the yarns are woven into cloth. In other resist-dyeing techniques such as tie-dye and batik the resist is applied to the woven cloth, whereas in ikat the resist is applied to the yarns before they are woven into cloth.
Because the surface design is created in the yarns rather than on the finished cloth, in ikat both fabric faces are patterned. A characteristic of ikat textiles is an apparent “blurriness” to the design. The blurriness is a result of the extreme difficulty the weaver has lining up the dyed yarns so that the pattern comes out perfectly in the finished cloth. The blurriness can be reduced by using finer yarns or by the skill of the craftsperson. Ikats with little blurriness, multiple colours and complicated patterns are more difficult to create and therefore often more expensive. Ikat is broadly categorized into 2 types: a) Single Ikat b) Double Ikat Single Ikat is further sub-categorized into 2 types: Warp Ikat and Weft Ikat.
In warp ikat it is only the warp yarns that are dyed using the ikat technique, the resist dyeing technique. The weft yarns are generally bleached or they are dyed a solid colour. The ikat pattern is clearly visible in the warp yarns wound onto the loom even before the weft is woven in. The majority of the Ikat available in the market is Warp Ikat. In weft ikat it is the weaving of weft yarn that carries the dyed patterns. The weft yarns are dyed using the ikat technique, the resist dyeing technique.Therefore, the pattern only appears as the weaving proceeds. Weft ikats are much slower to weave than warp ikat because the weft yarns must be carefully adjusted after each passing of the shuttle to maintain the clarity of the design.
Then comes Double Ikat. Double Ikat is a technique in which both warp and the weft are resist-dyed prior to weaving. Obviously it is the most difficult to make and the most expensive. Double ikat is only produced in three countries: India, Japan and Indonesia. The double ikat made in Patan, Gujarat in India is the most complicated. Called “patola,” it is made using fine silk yarns and many colours. It may be patterned with a small motif that is repeated many times across the length of a six-meter sari. Sometimes the Patan double ikat is pictorial with no repeats across its length. That is, each small design element in each colour was individually tied in the warp and weft yarns. It’s an extraordinary achievement in the textile arts. Pochampally Saree, a variety from a small village in Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh, India is another fine example of Double Ikat. Ikat fabric can be made with any textile fiber that takes well to dye. Common traditional ikat materials include cotton and silk.

Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, first of all let us understand what Anti Microbial Fabric is.

Are you a Garment manufacturer who wishes to buy Kalamkari fabric for your Garment Collection? If yes, then do watch out this video in which I will tell you 3 important things regarding Kalamkari fabric which you should know before buying Kalamkari fabrics.
Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, first of all, Kalamkari is a name of a Printing Process. Kalamkari can be done on any fabric.
Generally, it is done on cotton and Silk Second Point: Since ages, kalamkari printing has been either done by using hand blocks called the Machilipatnam style of Kalamkari or by free hand-painting called the SrikalahastiKalamkari. In the modern times, processes like Screen Printing, Rotary Printing, Digital Printing are used to produce pseudo Kalamkari Printed Fabrics.
So, do enquire before purchasing Kalamkari fabric whether they are hand printed, hand painted or mechanically printed Kalamkari fabrics. Third Point: As authentic Kalamkari fabric is made of natural dyes, it is common that the excess dye on the surface may bleed especially on darker colors. This is intrinsic with natural dyes and fixes with subsequent washing.
This is also the beauty of natural dyes that they evolve with the passage of time. To view our collection of Kalamkari Fabrics,
Are you a Garment manufacturer who is confused between the choice ofChambray Fabric and Denim Fabric for your garment collection? If yes, then do watch out this video till end.
Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, both Chambray and Denim are made of cotton. In both the fabrics, dyed warp yarns generally of blue color and white weft yarns are used. But there are some differences. The first difference lies in the yarn count of the cotton used. The yarn count for denim ranges from English Cotton Count (Ne) 4.0 to English Cotton Count (Ne) 12.5 whereas Yarn count of chambray ranges from English Cotton Count (Ne) 12.5 to English Cotton Count (Ne) 60. Please remember, in the English Cotton Count Yarn count system, the larger the number the finer the yarn and vice versa.
To state it in very simple terms; a heavier, coarser and thicker yarn is used to make Denim than Chambray. The second difference is use of different weaves. While Denim is constructed in Twill weave, Chambray is constructed in plain weave. As a result, the inner side of the denim fabric is lighter in color than the outer side. In case of Chambray, both sides of this fabric are of the same color. Because of these 2 differences, Chambray has a softer texture, softer touch than denim, is more breathable than Denim and therefore more suitable for making spring and summer tops, jumpsuits, and dresses. Chambray is also widely used for making Ties and Pocket Squares. Denim on the other hand is more rugged and durable.
Because of its heavier ruggedness and durability, Denim is used for making Jeans, Jackets, even bags and shoes. A fun fact, in early twentieth-century United States, many laborers wore denim pants and chambray shirts, which led to the term “blue collar jobs.” To view our collection of Chambray and Denim Fabrics, you may click the links below.
