Are you paying more GST because of your fabric supplier? According to the Circular 123/42/2019 dated 11th November 2019 issued by Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs, one can avail Input Tax Credit only 1.2 times the GST amount declared by one’s suppliers and vendors.
For eg; In the month of November 2019 you paid Rs. 200 GST to your suppliers and collected Rs. 300 GST from your clients, then ideally you should only pay Rs. 100 GST to the Government. But now, let us suppose, If your suppliers do not declare invoices worth Rs. 100 out of the total invoices worth Rs. 200 which have generated in favour of your company in their GSTR1 return, then you are liable to pay Rs. 200 GST to the government instead of Rs. 100. You have to pay Rs. 100 extra In short, if your supplier does not file his GSTR1 Return properly, then you are liable to pay extra money.
We at Charu Creation have created a 21 checkpoints 100% guaranteed GST filing system which ensures that you loose zero money. We even ensure that any invoice modified on the request of our clients after the filing of the GSTR1 return gets timely amended at the GST portal.
1. Grain: For woven textiles, grain refers to the orientation of the weft and warp threads. The three named grains are straight grain, cross grain, and the bias grain.
Non-woven materials such as felt, interfacing or leather do not have a grain. a. straight grain: The straight grain is oriented parallel with the warp threads and the selvedge.
The straight grain typically has less stretch than the crossgrain since the warp threads will be pulled tighter than the weft during weaving. Most garments are cut with the straight grain oriented top to bottom b. the crossgrain: The cross grain runs perpendicular to the selvedge and parallel to the weft threads.
The cross grain generally has more stretch than the straight grain since the weft threads are generally looser than the warp during weaving. Most garments (like pants or shirts) are cut on the straight grain with the cross grain parallel with the floor when the wearer is standing. This allows more stretch through the width of the garment, such as in a pants leg which needs more circumferential than vertical stretch.
Garments are sometimes cut on the cross grain, generally because the pieces are too wide to fit on the straight grain. Bias: The bias grain of a piece of woven fabric, usually referred to simply as “the bias”, is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads.
Every piece of woven fabric has two biases, perpendicular to each other. A garment made of woven fabric is said to be “cut on the bias” when the fabric’s warp and weft threads are at 45 degrees to its major seam lines. Woven fabric is more elastic as well as more fluid in the bias direction, compared to the straight and cross grains.
This property facilitates garments and garment details that require extra elasticity, drapability or flexibility, such as bias-cut skirts and dresses, neckties, piping trims and decorations, bound seams, etc.
In my previous videos, I described fabric terminologies like warp, weft, selvedge, Grain & fiber. In this video, I shall explain the term Yarn. When there is more than one fiber interlocked, it is called yarn. A long continuous strand of interlocked or twisted fibers is yarn. Textile yarn can be made with natural fiber, synthetic or man made fibers.
The essential requirements for fibers to be spun into yarn include a length of at least 5 millimeters, flexibility, cohesiveness, and sufficient strength. Other important properties include elasticity, fineness, uniformity, durability, and luster. The process of making yarn is called spinning. Yarn can be spun by machine or by hand. Yarn used for weaving tends to have a tight twist, smooth surface, and lots of lengthwise strength. Yarn for knitting has a looser twist. All textile yarn is classified according to structure, or how they are made. In general, there are three basic classifications. Let’s look at each of them.
• Staple fiber yarns are made of many short staple fibers that are wound together to make yarn. This is the most basic classification of yarn. Most staple fiber yarns are made of natural materials.
• Ply yarns are made of one or more strands of staple fiber yarns. A single ply yarn is a single strand of staple fibers held together by twisting. Two- and three-ply yarns are made of two or three single yarns twisted together. Multiple-ply yarns are used for fabrics that might require more strength or fabrics that need a desired surface effect.
• Filament yarn is made of one or more continuous strands that run the entire length of the yarn. These are much longer than staple fibers. Silk is the only natural filament yarn. Most filament yarns tend to be made from synthetic materials created by mechanical or chemical processes.

Warp: The woven fabric is formed by two sets of yarns – one is called as warp and another set is called as weft. Any fabric created on a loom will have a warp and weft thread. Warp threads are the threads that run along the length of the yardage or fabric.
Warp runs parallel to the selvedge (horizontal axis). The lengthwise (longitudinal) or vertical set of yarns in the fabric are called as warp yarns (simply warp)
Weft: The horizontal or transverse set of yarns in the fabric are known as weft yarns (simply Weft). Weft threads run from selvedge to selvedge. Or one can also say that weft threads run perpendicular to the selvedge or the horizontal axis. Nonwoven fabrics such as felt, vinyl, suede, and leather do not have warp and weft threads.
Selvedge: Fabric selvedge is the tightly woven edge that runs along each side of a piece of fabric’s lengthwise grain, which is also called the fabric’s warp. It is a “self-finished” edge of fabric which prevents the fabric from unraveling and fraying.

The jacquard loom gives the weaver a finer tuned control to interlace up to several hundred warp threads, inspiring countless possible designs. The pattern is neither embroidered nor printed but woven directly into the fabric.
The Jacquard loom was invented by a French weaver Joseph-Marie Jacquard in 1804. The original loom was controlled by a chain of punched cards laced together into a continuous sequence, with the rows of holes on each card corresponding to one row of the design.
The attachment resembles the punch card on a piano. If the punch cards with holes which create a pattern sounds a little like an early computer – it is. The Jacquard loom and its punch card pattern system is considered an important point in the history of the computer.
Babbage (the ‘Father of the Computer’)and Lovelace (world’s first computer programmer) were familiar with Jacquards loom, and Babbage intended to use punch cards based on the loom punch cards in his Analytical Engine.
Today jacquard weaves are achieved not with a Jacquard loom, but rather with a Jacquard head which is fitted on to a dobby loom. Today besides the patterning on fabrics, Jacquard looms can also be used to create elaborately patterned knits, like hose, socks and stocking with elaborate patterns woven in, sweaters and a whole lot of other patterned fabrics.
Jacquard is a special loom, or a machine employed in the weaving of a figured fabric. The fabric is woven on a Jacquard loom fitted with a head programmed to raise each warp thread independently of the other threads.
