Chikankari Kurta with Hathkati Jali
Hi, i am back with one more chikankari stitch. The most beautiful part of chikankari is its Jali work ( open work ). And very often confused with Drawn thread. Jali work is nothing but "Pulled thread work " where warp and weft threads are teased apart to make small holes which are held together with minute stitches. Jali work are inspired by old buildings window specially from Jaipur.

Hathkati jali, to work this form of jali you will need a strong and long needle and a regular sewing thread preferably same color of fabric. Hathkati jali is said to be " Point de Paris " stitch. Draw two lines horizontally one after the other, start working from right side of upper line, tease apart ( two lines, parallel) fabric vertically as shown in picture 3, its approximately 4 to 5 threads as seen in picture 4. Now warp these four thread together tightly working from up to down. Come up, now see picture 8, start working next column same way. Teasing fabric, proper tension and holding with minute stitches is important aspect of Hathkati jali.
