Embracing the Artisanal Touch: What Makes Each Piece Unique,  Not Defective

 

1. Slight Irregularities in Stitch Size

• In hand-embroidered pieces, stitch sizes may slightly vary due to the nature of manual work. This is not a defect but a hallmark of authentic, handmade craftsmanship.

2. Minor Thread Inconsistencies

• Threads used in embroidery can sometimes appear slightly uneven in texture or thickness. This variation is a result of the traditional processes involved in creating the thread, especially in styles like Phulkari and Zardosi.

3. Color Variations

• Hand-dyed fabrics and threads can have slight variations in color. Since natural dyes are often used, minor differences in shades or tone across the fabric are part of the charm of traditional embroidery and should not be considered defects.

4. Slight Asymmetry in Patterns

• Unlike machine-made embroidery, handwork can lead to slight asymmetry in designs or patterns. This subtle irregularity is a signature of the hand-embroidery process, adding to the uniqueness of each piece.

5. Loose Threads or Knots on the Inside

• It’s common in hand-embroidered items for there to be loose threads, small knots, or minor finishing imperfections on the reverse side of the fabric. These don’t affect the durability or aesthetic of the item and are not considered defects.

6. Fabric Wrinkles or Texture Changes

The fabric may have slight wrinkles or texture changes due to the tension applied during the embroidery process. These should smooth out with proper ironing or washing and are not indicative of poor quality.
