Textile designing is the process of creating designs for, woven, printed or knitted fabrics. It is a technical process including different methods for production of textile. It includes both- surface design and structural design of a textile.
Fabrics can be prepared by weaving and knitting and can be given surface decoration through printing. Designs envisioned by the textile designer, for both woven and printed textiles, begin with a drawing or water-colour sketch of the finished design. Traditionally, drawings of woven textile patterns are translated onto point papers (special type of graph paper) which are used by the weavers in setting up their looms.
