Benefits

Jacquard production is a rather laborious and costly affair, since the result should be a canvas with a well-visible relief pattern. Jacquard fabric in structure resembles a tapestry, it is a dense weaving of natural or synthetic threads. The jacquard may contain linen, cotton, satin, silk, woolen threads, textile fibers, or a mixture thereof.

Jacquard got its name in honor of the man who came up with the mechanism on which the fabric is created - Joseph Jacquard. And to this day, the principle of interweaving of threads has remained unchanged, although the modern unit on which it is produced, of course, has changed.

The main advantage of jacquard, and hence of products made of it, is its multicolor: during the production of the material, up to ten different colors and shades of thread can be used, thanks to which the jacquard bedspreads are so diverse.

Varieties

In addition, jacquard bedspreads are also divided into simple and quilted. This nuance depends on the number of balls of fabric used in sewing products.

Bedspreads are simple and quilted:

Simple bedspreads create from one layer of canvas. Their main difference is the absence of frills at the edges, the picture is visualized on both sides.
Quilted bedspreads are made by stitching 3 different balls: front-jacquard, internal filler - synthetic winterizer, wrong - satin or polyester. The edges of this coating usually have a fringing or ruffles. Quilted bedspreads can be recognized by geometric stitches made with threads matching in color to the base material. Such canvases can act as a protective cover for a bed or summer blanket.

Types of Jacquard

Are you wondering why the bedspread is called jacquard? This fabric resembles a tapestry in a pattern. But tapestries have long been woven by hand. Only at the very beginning of the 19th century, the Frenchman Jozeph-Marie Jacquard invented the loom. He mechanically bound the even and odd threads, moved the shuttle, and woven the pattern into the basis of the fabric. By the name of the master, they called the original fabric with a large, elegant pattern.

The classic canvas consists of natural cotton fiber. The thickness of the threads, their density allows you to add both synthetic and blended yarn. The product itself can be from thin, almost airy to very dense.

Mostly these are colored bedspreads, but lovers of laconic, monophonic style will find jacquard textiles for themselves. Penumbra, convex images, ornate patterns create interweaving of different thicknesses of threads.

The bright color and pattern of jacquard fabric is obtained in two ways:

more expensive - pre-dyed colored threads,
cheaper - by applying a color picture to the finished canvas.

Popular types of jacquard fabric:

jacquard wool. It is carried out in two colors. The wrap on the bed made of it is very light, warm, with medicinal properties, as it is made of natural wool,

jacquard silk. It consists of natural or synthetic fiber - light, weightless, almost airy. Suitable for thin bedspreads with exquisite design,

jacquard satin. The fabric is shiny, double-sided, silky to the touch, smooth. It is used for tailoring bedspreads, bedding, curtains - durable, with bright colors,

jacquard satin. Made of natural cotton with a double-sided pattern. The fabric is unpretentious in leaving, does not crease. Used for kitchen textiles and bedding,
jacquard stretch. Lightweight, breathable material suitable for sewing clothes. Stretch is practically not used for coatings, as the fabric is easily stretched, the shape is not supported.

The jacquard fabric, which includes matte threads of silk, viscose, satin, under different lighting changes its color, shimmers, creating a "chameleon effect." Coatings from this material create an unusual, magical atmosphere of the room.

What are jacquard bedspreads

Before buying, you must definitely determine its size, think about how it will lie on the bed, where else it will be used. It is also important to know what products are and what you should pay attention to when buying.

The parameters of the bedspreads depend on how you plan to make them a bed:

according to the European version - refuel on all sides on the mattress,
according to the classic, when the coating parameters are 15 cm larger than the size of the mattress, ideally - the euro size,
according to the eastern version, when the product descends to the floor from all sides.

Determine the required size based on the selected method.

Jacquard bedspreads are more often made from natural fabrics than from mixed ones, although cotton threads are always present at their base.

By the method of sewing there are simple and quilted - depending on the number of layers of the product.

Simple jacquard pattern consists of one layer of dense web. The relief of the picture is clearly visible on both sides. The product does not have frills, sewing is unpretentious, but it looks very worthy.

Counterpane It has three stitched layers, where the front is made of jacquard fabric, the wrong one is made of satin or polyester, and a synthetic winterizer layer is laid between them. So that the filler does not move inside, it is attached with a stitch to the cover. The matching threads create beautiful geometric - straight or curved shapes. Edges, shuttlecocks or ruffles are sewn along the edges. This model is often used as a light blanket. But it looks very rich and looks better in the form of a cloak on a bed or sofa.

Jacquard bedspreads care

Simple care tips:

Periodically clean the dust cover with a brush or vacuum cleaner with special nozzles.
Thick jacquard models can be cleaned with a sponge slightly moistened in soapy water. This does not apply to silk and satin.
Textiles are washed in a delicate mode at medium speeds in warm water at a temperature of no more than 30 C. A neutral powder is used. After washing, the blanket must be immediately pulled out of the machine, do not wring out!

Additional tips

A few tips for choosing jacquard textiles will come in handy.

Decide where this beautiful product will be used. If they plan to make a bed, then choose the right color. For smaller bedrooms, harmony with curtains and carpet is preferred. The spacious bedroom has bright, vibrant colors.
The bedspread on the sofa is an important detail of the interior. It is also impossible to make a mistake with the color scheme, carefully consider what shade will fit into your interior.
Size is also important - the product must lie securely on the back of the sofa, not sliding off it and not hanging down to the floor.
Material choose antistatic, not slippery, comfortable for sitting people.
Before cleaning, carefully read the label with instructions for caring for textiles.
Pay attention to the composition of the fabric. 100% natural jacquard fabric has the highest density, wear resistance, but also a great value. Fabric with the addition of synthetic fibers to cotton threads is more affordable and not much inferior to natural ones.
If the model is quilted, then check the quality of stitches. The ends of the threads should not stick out, the stitches are even and without loops. Threads in color should fit into the overall color scheme. If the bedspread with frills or ruffles, then carefully review the quality of the seams.

A jacquard bedspread will certainly become an adornment of your home. The relief pattern will add grace to the interior of the rooms, and a tastefully selected color scheme will emphasize the chosen style.
