Jaipur quilts are handmade and hand-stitched which makes them unique. The dateless techniques of cotton carding, cotton voile-making, and quilting are utilized by the artisans while crafting these amazing Jaipuri Quilts. The process includes:
1. Screen Printing and Block printing
The first important decision to make Jaipuri Razai is the selection of traditional designs and prints like Sanganeri print, Mughal prints, etc, and choose a method of printing for printing the designs on the cotton fabric. Traditional methods include Screen printing and Hand-Block printing in Jaipur for making quilts.
2. Cotton Carding
It is a procedure that prepares cotton to be used as a filling in the quilts. Two carders are deployed for this purpose, which are convex paddles equipped with small teeth - the cotton fibers are placed onto of the carders, while the other is drawn across the face of the first one multiple times. The position of carders is transitioned between horizontal and vertical - this is done to remove the dross from cotton, which is the waste material.
After carding, only soft and fine fibers remain behind - this process takes a full week! This results in leaving behind around 100 grams of cotton.
3. Cotton Voile Spreading
The “layering” is when the cotton is distributed evenly throughout the Jaipuri quilt or else, it will end up being bulging at some points while other parts tend to sag. This part is pivotal for imparting warmth and coziness to the handmade quilt - the covering is premium quality cotton voile, which is a lightweight yet gauzy cotton fabric that has a silky soft surface.
4. Hand-Stitching by the Local Artisans
This is the last stage when the quilts are stitched together and made into a proper Jaipuri Razai/ Quilt. It is a process called ‘Tagaai’ in Hindi and is native to the local artisans. The quilt is handstitched closely and nicely to ensure the body heat does not leak, which makes the Jaipuri quilt everyone's favorite.
