What is Textile Design?
Textile design is the process of embellishing the texture of a cloth while weaving it. The texture of the fabric can be embellished with a variety of illustrations using a variety of structural designs without the use of any colored yarn. The quality of the fabric also depends on the textile design. This particularly affects user preferences. As well as it affects the pricing of textiles. It also plays a key role in the selection process of textiles and related equipment.

What is the Trend?
Trends refer to what is popular at certain times. The term is also often used in relation to fashion, textile designs, styles etc. In the fashion industry, trend refers to fashions that are popular at a certain point in time. For example, in 2014, blue and orange became known as trendy colors, but now their use is declining. On the other hand, now matte nude colors have also become a trend. This can be influenced by various factors including political, social, economic and technological. At present, the trend is also being emphasized in the field of fabric weaving. The fabric is designed according to the conventional trend.

Check cloth is woven in different designs considering the needs, tastes etc. of the people. This design is on top of the current trend.

Just as everything in the modern world is changing over time, modern textile tools have made textile design more efficient, simple and sustainable. In this case digital textiles have added a unique dimension to textile design. As a result, it is now possible to make textile designs more aesthetically perfect than ever before.
