In clothing design and home decoration, printing, embroidery, jacquard, rotten flowers and cut flowers are common. Today, let's talk about the differences and characteristics of these five crafts.

Printing 🌸

Printing is to mix various dyes and pigments into color paste, and then apply them locally on the fabric to form various beautiful patterns. Printing can be divided into reactive printing and paint printing, which are mainly used on cellulose fiber fabrics, silk fabrics, chemical fibers and blended fabrics.

Embroidery 🌺

Embroidery technology is mainly used on materials such as pure cotton and lace. Embroidered fabrics are embroidered with various patterns by machine after dyeing. The colors are bright and not easy to fade, and the breathability and moisture absorption are also very good. Embroidery can be divided into color embroidery and appliqué embroidery.

Jacquard 🌻

The jacquard process is to weave the pattern directly into the fabric, and form various patterns of various colors by interlacing the warp and weft yarns of different colors. Jacquard fabrics can be divided into woven, warp knitted jacquard and weft knitted jacquard. Weft knitted fabrics have good elasticity in both the horizontal and vertical directions, while warp knitted and woven jacquards have no elasticity. Jacquard fabrics are delicate and smooth, with very good gloss and feel, high color fastness, and are not easy to deform or fade.

Burnt-out (burnt-out) 🔥

The burnt-out process uses the different acid resistance of two fibers to blend or spin into core-spun yarns to weave burnt-out fabric grey cloth, and then burns out in acid after the printing and dyeing process, so that the acid-resistant part of the fiber is dissolved and rotten, forming a transparent, concave and convex pattern. Burnt-out fabrics are mainly used for decorative fabrics, such as tablecloths, curtains, seat covers, bedspreads, pillowcases, etc.

Cut-out ✂️

Cut-out is a process for deep processing of fabrics. Part of the warp or weft yarn is woven into the fabric, and then the yarn floating on the fabric is cut off. Cut-out fabrics can be divided into warp cut-out and weft cut-out, which are generally used for fabrics with long velvet and fluff. This type of velvet fabric is suitable for outerwear, coat fabrics and home decoration fabrics.

In general, these five techniques have their own characteristics and are suitable for different occasions and needs. I hope this article can give you a deeper understanding of these five techniques!
