"Creation of a chikan work (chikankari चिकनकारी چکن کاری) piece begins with the use of one or more pattern blocks that are used to block-print a pattern on the ground fabric. The embroiderer then stitches the pattern, and the finished piece is carefully washed to remove all traces of the printed pattern[2]. Wickipedia
