Commonly, embroidery was used for decoration, product branding, corporate advertising and uniform adornment, widely used in clothing, accessories and textiles for interiors. It has become an integral part of our visual world and when compared to traditional print, embroidery is more three dimensional, has high luster and textured effects.

Computerized Embroidery

Nowadays, embroidery is largely produced on computer controlled embroidery machines, or what we called, computerized embroidery. Computerized embroidery machines create embroidery from computerized designs. These machines can exist from single home use to small independent professional to mass production.

Computerized embroidery machines are highly specialized and engineered machines that have a multi-needle fixed “embroidery head” and a frame holder that moves the framed product like T-shirt for example, in either two directions so that the embroidery design can be sewn.

They call the frame holder – “pantograph”, it is a graph plotter because it moves to (plots) the exact location (co-ordinates) of the design express in x and y values.

The design is created within a grid, also known as a field, with x being the horizontal axis and y the vertical axis, just like in math. Therefore, any point on the design can be identified in values of x and y. The machine reads these co-ordinates from the design data file and moves its pantograph into position to receive each new stitch from the machines’ stationary needle head.

Computerized Embroidery Process

Basically, digital embroidery process is so simple and easy to understand. It has six functional activities as follows:

1. Interpretation of artwork and digitize the design using specialized software

2. The design will be saved as a stitch file that can be understood by the machine

3. The embroidery machine will read the stitch data file

4. Teach the machine hot to embroider the design

5. The fabric to be embroider will be hoop or frame on and slot into the machine arms

6. The machine will start stitching and run until embroidery design is finished
