Designing and Pressing

Designing

Textile design is essentially the process of creating design for woven, knitted or printed fabric or surface ornamented fabrics. Textile designers are involved with the production of this design in clothing. The field encompasses the actual pattern making while supervising the production process. Textile design fulfils a variety of purpose in our life. For example: clothing, carpets, drapes, towels and rugs are all a result of textile designs.

Pressing

Never cut wrinkled fabric because it will result in no longer or smaller fabric pieces. Pressing the fabric before sewing is very important. The fabric needs to be as flat and as smooth as possible while sewing. Sewing a wrinkled or creased fabric will lead to a continually wrinkled or creased project. Sewing these flaws into the project and crease in particular can be very hard to remove from a project, especially if the crease is stitched into the final product. Pressing fabric before sewing ensures that these issues do not arise.
