Use this printed fabric for your Apparels, Home furnishings, Accessories & Shoes if you want to immediately capture the attention of your target clients. Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, various Studies have repeatedly shown that the more appealing something looks, the more likely it is that consumers will pay attention. And therefore unsurprisingly; garment, home furnishing, accessory & shoe manufacturers are always on a search for fabrics which can capture the attention of their target clients towards their respective products in order to increase their sales.

So friends, Printed Foil fabric is one such fabric which has stood the test of times & has been one of the top fabrics for capturing attention. So what actually is Foil Printing? So friends, Foil printing is a special kind of printing procedure where heat, pressure, and a metallic paper called foil is used to create different shiny designs and graphics on various materials. Fabric can be one of the various materials.

The unique thing about foil paper is that it comes in a wide selection of colours and finishes. Although the most popular colours are clearly gold and silver foils, it also comes in many other colours and effects, such as gloss, matte, holographic and pearlescent which all help to replicate the look of precious metals. In the foil printing process, the die or the sculpted metal plate comes in contact with the foil and transfers a thin layer of the foil film onto the intended surface. As the metal plate is heated, the foil sticks to the surface only in the design of the plate and in the required areas with the desired imprint.

Foil printing can be carried on various fabrics such as Woven & knitted cotton, viscose, poly viscose, velour, organza, etc. Foil printing also called Foil stamping is increasingly becoming the preferred method of printing in many industries. However, it has some drawbacks also. Some foils could fade with time and some foils could scratch off or come off the surface of the fabric after few washes. Experts advise printed foil garments to be dry cleaned.

However, in case one has to wash them, then hand wash is recommended. Machine wash of printed foil garments must be completely avoided. Another drawback is that, the right side of the foil cannot be ironed. While ironing, the article should either be turned inside out or another fabric should be placed above the foil so that it doesn’t get stuck to the iron. A word of advise; as already mentioned, Foil tends to break down over time and fades, so when designing with foil, try and make it look a little distressed from the beginning itself.

This will keep the design intact for longer, and even add an interesting element to your pattern and art when the foil starts to break & fade away. For example, it would not make any difference if a ripped jeans becomes a bit more ripped with the passage of time but a regular jeans getting ripped off over time could make a difference to the beholder of the jeans. A fun fact, around 4000 years ago, a process similar to modern day foil printing was applied in ancient Greek. Under this process, Gold was hammered and beaten till it achieved a thinness of only 0.0001 mm.

This beaten gold was then used to embellish mummies and to decorate arms, coffins, and other substances.

You face the challenge of color matching your Garments every morning when you open your wardrobe, you literally struggle with color combinations. Do not worry as you are not alone as 93.3% people on this planet including me struggle with choosing the right color combinations. Watch this video till end to solve the challenge of color combinations or color matching for once and all. Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi.

So friends, the solution to effortless color Combination is the Color Wheel. The Color wheel was first designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666, the same man famous for the Laws of motions. Let us quickly understand some fundamentals so that we can use the color Wheel in 4 basic ways. The color wheel consists of 12 colors in total. Out of them, three are primary colors namely red, yellow & blue. Then there are three secondary colors namely Orange, Purple and Green. Secondary colors are created when primary colors are mixed with each other.

Further there are six tertiary colors. Tertiary colors are made from different combinations of primary and secondary colors. If you draw a line through the center of the wheel, then you’ll separate the warm colors from the cool colors. Reds, oranges & yellows are the warm colors while Blues, greens & purples are the cool colors. We need to know few more things before we are ready to use this color wheel. A pure raw color is called a Hue for example Red. If you add white to the Hue, it is called a Tint.

Example, adding white to red gives a tint called Pink. Next, if you add black to the Hue, it is called a Shade. For example, red + black gives burgundy. Finally, if you add black and white (or grey) to the Hue, it is called a Shade. Now, there are primarily four ways of using this color wheel. The first is the complementary colors scheme. How to find these matching colors on the wheel? Simply, pick any color on the wheel and trace your finger directly across the circle to the opposite side of the wheel.

Complementary colors combined together to create the strongest contrast. The Goal of the two colors is to make the other pop! For example, red and green. Generally, it has been observed that the proportion of 70, 30 or 80, 20 works best for this particular color scheme. This means, the combination of garments in which you carry 70-80% of one color and 20-30 % of the other color works the best. A 50, 50 proportion in the complimentary color scheme becomes hard to carry.

The second scheme is the Analogous Color scheme. Just pick any color on the wheel then choose the color that is located right or the left of the one you chose. For example, Indigo & Purple. A word of caution, avoid mixing cool with warm colors for best result. The third and one of the easiest scheme is the Monochromatic Colors scheme. In this scheme you create a color scheme based on various shades and tints of one hue. Although it lacks color contrast, it often ends up looking very clean and polished. A perfect example is the colors in sky during the sunset.

There are tints, tones and shades of the same hue in the Sunset Sky. The 4 fourth is the Neutral Colors Scheme. Neutral Colors consist of black, white, gray, beige, tan, olive, navy & some more. How to implement it? You just pick any neutral color and choose any color from the color wheel. And voila, your color combination is set. Neutral colors do not clash with each other. They pair well together, and you can be confident that your outfit looks great. Think of a white churidhar suit.

Regardless of your age, skin tone, or body type, neutral colors are essentials for your wardrobe. Since neutral colors easily match with other colors, if you’re ever in doubt, wear neutrals. Friends, an interesting fact is that the Neutral Colors scheme is the most unconsciously used Color Scheme in the whole world. Our natural human tendencies & intuitions push us to wear garment having neutral colors. Friends, there are more Color schemes like Triadic Colors, Split-Complementary Colors, Tetradic Colors & Square Colors scheme.

They are bit complex to implement. Friends, to view the color wheel for getting your color combination right, click on the link given in the description of the video.

Do you know that your home sewing machine is the original inspiration for machine embroidered fabrics & laces? Are you a Garments, Accessories, Home furnishings or a Shoe Manufacturer who wants to know more about Schiffli embroidered fabric? 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, Schiffli is an embroidery machine which is used to create embroidered fabrics & laces.

They are also called Schiffli Embroidered fabrics & Schiffli Laces or Chemical Laces. The schiffli embroidery machine is a multi-needle, industrial embroidery machine. It was invented by Isaak Gröbli in 1863. The word ‘schiffli’ is derived from the Swiss dialect of the German language, where it means ‘little boat’, referring to the hull-like shape of the shuttle used to produce this type of fabric & lace. The front part of the boat or ship is called as a Hull.

The patterns sewing machines could produce on cloth were the initial inspiration for the concept of Schiffli embroidery. This is how Groebli came up with the idea of inventing a shuttle that consisted of a bobbin of thread and the machine that utilizes a large number of needles that work at the same time along the length of the fabric, forming lock stitches, much like the sewing machine. The Schiffli machine is a multi-needle loom, whose field of embroidery is wide, constant and coinciding. This machine uses approximately thousand needles that are placed in horizontal lines, one above the other.

In case of Schiffli Lace also called chemical lace, the fabric on which this embroidery is created is known as the ‘sacrificial fabric’ because after the embroidery is completed, the length of the fabric is immersed in a chemical bath in which the un-embroidered patches dissolve and the lace remains.

The characteristic feature of Schiffli embroidery that differentiates it from other forms of machine embroidery is the ability to create diverse luxurious patterns with 2-dimensional & 3-dimensional effects.

There are many varieties that can be found in Schiffli embroidery, based on thread type, thread color, patterns, fabrics, and usage.

1. Embroidery with Borer Holes / Eyelet: Borer Holes are small perforations that can be made in many 2-D shapes and are rimmed with either cloth threads or metallic threads. The complete effect is achieved when stitches are placed on the outer edges of the eyelet.

2. Embroidery on Net: This type of Schiffli embroidery makes use of net-like base fabrics on which the embroidery is created.

3. Embroidery with Applique: In this variant, the second layer of fabric is added to the base fabric at the beginning of the process. However, this is rolled up and secured on the upper roller of the loom while the base is being embroidered. The front yarn is then cut, the applique fabric spread out and then the embroidery is continued.

4. Embroidery in Colors: In order to get a variety of colors within the embroidered fabric or the chemical lace, there are two types of techniques that can be used. One involves the usage of separate strands of thread in different colors while the other uses one multicolored yarn in its creation.

5. Embroidery with Metallic Thread: Metallic threads are used specifically to add sheen and shimmer to the fabric or lace. These threads, since they’re made of synthetic fibers, are strong, durable and available in a variety of colors such as gold, silver, copper, back, green or emerald, wine red and other luscious hues.

6. Embroidery for Borders: This type of Schiffli embroidery is classified based on its usage for embellishing the edges or the borders of a garment.

7. All Over Embroidery: Schiffli embroidery, when done all over the fabric, involves embroidering the cloth continuously with one pattern from one edge to the Other. The running length of schiffli embroidered fabrics & schiffli or chemical laces is either 14 meters or 20.5 meters.

Schiffli embroidered fabrics & laces are extensively used to create women apparels. Among its other uses are creations of lingerie, home décor items and as frills on cushion covers.
