Making Process

Usually the embroidery is done on a cotton, velvet or a satin cloth, for which the required cloth is taken, and is cut according to the required measurements, once the cutting is done, it is then marked with required designs and motifs, the way of transferring designs depends upon the region where the embroidery is done, in few places it is transferred with the help of butter paper, in few places it is drawn directly upon the cloth, in few places templates are used. Whichever the techniques are, embroidery requires a special skill set and an artistic eye for detailing, the cloth with design is fixed onto a circular ring, which is called as embroidery frame. And embroidery is done on the design, using colorful threads an artisan creates literally a poetry from the needle, artisan makes sure to fill the design motifs with embroider stitches and continues all over the printed designs to fill up the design. Usually a bed spread, table cloth, or wall hangings are made out of embroider products and also there are hand kerchiefs, curtains and other decorative products are done.
