Position print with embroidery is a sophisticated fabric design technique where specific areas of the fabric are printed with intricate motifs, patterns, or images and enhanced with hand or machine embroidery. This combination of vibrant prints and detailed embroidery creates a visually striking and textured effect, making it a popular choice for stylish and modern outfits.
How It’s Made:
- Printing Process:
Position Printing: The design is carefully printed on specific areas of the fabric using screen printing or digital printing techniques.
Only pre-decided sections, such as the neckline, border, or center, are printed for a balanced look.
- Embroidery Process:
Skilled artisans or machines add embroidery (threadwork, zari, sequins, beads) on top of or around the printed designs.
- Finishing Touches: The fabric is steamed, washed, and treated to lock in the colors and stabilize the embroidery.
Pros of Position Print with Embroidery:
- Customizable Designs: Allows for precise placement of motifs, making each piece unique.
- Enhanced Elegance: The embroidery adds texture and a premium feel to the printed patterns.
- Lightweight: Typically, lighter than fully embroidered fabrics, making it versatile for all seasons.
- Versatility: Suitable for both casual and formal wear depending on the design.
Cons of Position Print with Embroidery:
- Higher Cost: Combining printing and embroidery makes it relatively more expensive.
- Complex Care: Requires delicate washing or dry cleaning to maintain both the print and embroidery.
- Limited Stretch: Due to the embroidery, the fabric may lose some flexibility.
