Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hand embroidery and machine embroidery?
Hand embroidery is stitched manually and carries craft character, softness and individuality. Machine embroidery uses digitized stitch paths and is faster, more consistent and better for logos, uniforms, patches and repeat production.
Which embroidery is best for wedding wear?
Zardozi, aari work, bead work, fine thread embroidery and stone work are popular for wedding outfits. For lighter functions, chikankari, tone-on-tone thread work and monograms feel elegant and wearable.
Which fabric is best for embroidery?
Cotton works well for chikankari and kantha, silk and raw silk suit formal embroidery, velvet supports rich zardozi, wool works for kashida, and suiting fabrics can carry logo embroidery when properly tested.
Can embroidery be visualised before stitching?
Yes. Digital garment tools can preview embroidery design, placement, scale and contrast before production. A fabric sample is still useful for heavy or expensive embroidery.
