Process of Chikankari

Cutting : The tailor cuts the fabric into the required shape

Stitching: Then a quick running stitch is done to give the block printer an idea of the placement of the designs to be printed.

Printing: The designs are printed on the semi-stitched garment with blocks using fugitive colors. The cloth to be printed is spread out on the table. Then, the printer dabs the block on the tray of color and places it on the fabric, banging it with his fist. He repeats the process as he moves along the fabric
.
Embroidery: The embroidery is done on the printed designs. Different people specializing in different kinds of stitching contribute to the finished embroidery.

Washing : This is very important. After the garment goes through the preceding steps it becomes so dirty that the finer flaws are not seen unless it is washed.

Finishing: Clipping extra threads, fixing any flaws, and putting finishing touches on garments are some of the final steps.
