Jacquard is a type of fabric with an intricate pattern. The pattern is not embroidered, but woven directly into the fabric. Jacquard, available in many styles and colors, has a different subtlety depending on the quality of the fabric used. Jacquard is woven on a special loom, which also produces other fabrics, such as brocade and damask steel. Jacquard is mainly used in the manufacture of jacquard fabrics, Lehengas sarees and as upholstery fabrics.

Origin and production
Until 1800, a process called a loom was used to weave a jacquard, but it was very slow and could only produce simple designs. This scenario changed with the invention of the jacquard loom, named after its inventor Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801. This initial version. It was a mechanical weaving machine with a perforated card, which was used to create various patterns and designs. This loom could control only a few deformation ends independently. Therefore, to create the final fabric, the entire drilling process was repeated several times. Machines with higher productivity were introduced later, which required less repetition of the process.

With the advent of jacquard electronic weaving machines in the 1980s, the production of jacquard products increased. The machine can process many warp threads simultaneously. The repeated need to bind fabric over and over to complete it has been eliminated. However, this made weaving less economical than before, since the loom could only produce small batches of weaving and was not possible for mass factory settings.

Current scenario
With the pace of technological progress, jacquard weaving is now woven using a computerized process. Modern computer controlled jacquard machines do not have punch cards and can have thousands of hooks. Threading on a jacquard loom is an intensive workflow in which thousands of hooks are pierced with numerous threads, but a computerized process automates the entire design process, making it less time-consuming and more high-quality that create complex projects with ease.

Types of Jacquard Fabrics
In addition to the main jacquard fabric woven using a jacquard loom, this fabric can be divided into the following 3 common fabrics:

Brocade fabric: This is an embossed fabric made from multi-colored threads that create a rich design. Widely used in fashionable clothing and upholstery, it is usually heavier than most fabrics.

Damask Fabric is a thinner and cleaner version of Brocade. Damascus is also a patterned fabric that is woven predominantly in one color, commonly used in blends of fibers or in the production of synthetic fibers.

Matelassé fabric: made of cotton, silk or rayon, has a quilted effect and an elastic surface.
