Question- Where do you start your work from?

Answer- Our work starts like from here this is kind of plastic where we draw designs like this. We’ll get some things like which already have some parts made that in this pattern we need this design. For example, here we have this of body cutting. So, it is cut from here and goes directly to the dress. In this we put flower or otherwise something else that we are having. And for this we have different-different kinds of software like Wilcom, Wings, EVX, etc and the software which we are currently using is this Wilcom’s software

ㅤ

Question - So you design all this from here

Answer- Yes, first of all we scan that design that I showed earlier and make this. Like as you can see this is the design of chemical. This is chemical’s design. First, we’ll keep the chemical and then it’ll all go. Then we’ll cover this outline. Then after cutting we will remove this fabric. This will form a web-like structure on the thread.

ㅤ

Question- How do you design the patterns?

Answer- See talking about the design, we have a designer who works above us. So, what they do is that if they like any design, they give us a set and after drawing on it. For example, we have this. In it, we want this design. This has been drawn for this (the black cloth as shown by him). So, in it we have to make the design and give it and after this all this will be put by our hands because these things are not possible to be done in computer. Here it’s leather so this is the thing.

Question- The sequins which you add here is made by machines or it can also be hand-made?

Answer- No, it can also be hand-made. So, this piece which you can see all this is by computer. It has 4 types of sequins. This one is 9mm size 1 which is attached to this side. This one is 5 mm; this is center hole and this is also 5 mm and this is also center hole. It has 2 of gold. And now there will be five colors on it too but we face some problems because our device is of four. So if we do five then we use a device alternately. Like it has karadana so we do this because we do have the machine for karadana.

ㅤ

Question- How do you add colors in these clothes? Do you use dyes or something else?

Answer- No no it already depends on the strips/sequinss. This one is a little bit gold some are even silver, now as you can see this one is in the gold. This one is the silver strip and this is the thread which is being used here, as I showed you earlier this is the transparent one so because of this particular reason the thread is not visible on this.

It’s not like than these 3 will do some thing else and those other 3 will do some thing different. They all will do the same work. All this thing is computerized.
