Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about our courses, software terminals, practical loom visits, fee schedules, digital file downloads, and campus admissions across Surat.
General & Admissions
Do I need prior computer knowledge to enroll in Embroidery or Jacquard classes?
No prior computer or design experience is required. We start with the absolute fundamentals: mouse precision, keyboard workflows, file management, and core textile terminology on your individual workstation.
Can homemakers and women without a design degree learn these courses?
Absolutely. A large portion of our students in Katargam, Punagam, and Bardoli are homemakers and women looking to build an independent livelihood. Many work as freelance digitizers from home after graduation.
What is the minimum age or educational qualification required?
Anyone who has completed basic schooling (10th/12th grade or higher) and has a genuine desire to learn textile design can enroll. There is no upper age limit.
Courses & Practical Training
What is the difference between Jacquard Design and Embroidery Design?
Jacquard design focuses on the woven physics of fabric (harness setup, hooks, warp and weft interlacing on Rapier and electronic looms). Embroidery design focuses on decorating existing fabric using multi-head machines, cording, and sequins via Wilcom digitizing.
Do students share computer screens during practical classes?
Never. Tulsi Design Hub operates on a strict 1-on-1 workstation policy. Every student has an assigned PC running licensed software throughout their entire batch duration.
Do students get to visit real working looms and embroidery factories?
Yes. Students at our Sachin campus visit working Rapier Jacquard looms in GIDC to test their .EP/.JC5 graph outputs. Embroidery students test files on multi-head machines to verify stitch pull compensation and trim points.
Fees, Equipment & Schedules
Why are exact tuition fees not listed publicly on the website?
Course fees vary depending on whether you choose regular batch timings, one-on-one accelerated training, or dual-course packages (e.g. Jacquard + Sketching). We provide transparent fee quotes directly during your campus visit or via WhatsApp.
What are the available batch timings across campuses?
We provide 3 daily shifts: Morning (8:30 AM – 11:30 AM), Afternoon (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM), and Evening (4:00 PM – 7:00 PM). Weekend sessions are available on request at our Punagam and Bardoli branches.
Can fees be paid in monthly installments?
Yes. We offer installment payment structures so students can pay their fees progressively as they advance through their modules.
Digital Store & Custom CAD
How are purchased digital files delivered from the store?
All store purchases are completed on our secure Razorpay storefront. Once payment is confirmed, download links for the files (.DST, .EP, .JC5) and technical stitch sheets are delivered instantly via email.
What if my machine requires a different punch format?
If you need format conversions (e.g. from .DST to .DSB or from .EP to .UPT), simply WhatsApp our technical desk with your invoice number, and our team will convert it for your machine free of charge.
How do I order a custom design not listed in the store?
Visit our Custom Design page or send reference photographs and loom hook parameters directly to our WhatsApp numbers. We provide technical quotes and turnaround estimates within 2 hours.
Campuses & Career Outcomes
Do you guarantee job placements after course completion?
With 15+ years in Surat's textile market, mills and saree houses regularly contact us for certified designers. We assist every student in curating their 25+ file portfolio and arrange direct interview referrals.
Which campus should I visit if I specifically want to learn Jacquard?
Our Sachin GIDC campus is directly supervised by Nishad Mendapara and is positioned in Surat's primary weaving corridor, making it the ideal center for Rapier and Electronic Jacquard training.
