Custom patterns can be also be created stitch by stitch and stored in the stitching-program. Overlockers have been adapted for decorative stitching on the edge of fabric whilst an angled two needle, four thread interlock machine has been developed to produce decorative effects on both under and outerwear. The range of specially developed shirring and smocking machines continues to diversify and expand.
Snap fasteners, poppers, rivets, spangle, rhinestones, nailheads, etc, can be used for decoration, on their own or mixed with many other forms of decoration. Technology continues to open up more and more ways to economically decorate apparel. One computerised hot fix spangle machine provides the ability of making spangle motifs with eleven colours and shapes of spangle in one operation.
Similarly sequins can now be stuck on to a garment quickly and securely, with full washability, rather than the conventional slower and less secure sewn method. It may not be long before an attachment for the ultrasonic and hot fixing of stones is added to the embroidery machines and programmed into the embroidery package.
The decoration of denim offers a further array of design opportunities from different washes, sandblasting, and lasers to the addition of permanent 3D creases and crinkles introduced by setting resins on moving mannequins. Electronics built into smart textiles offer a whole new concept of textile decorations, LED lights can be introduced into garments which can flash in time with music, and indeed buttons can be added with cloth speakers to provide textiles and garments which can play tunes. With so many different forms of decoration, all of which can be combined in the same garment to add maximum value and uniqueness, the sky really is the limit to the designer.
The new exhibition, Texprocess is set to be the top event for the garment manufacturing and textile processing industry. Leading international manufacturers will present their latest technology for making up textiles and other flexible materials, as well as for their decoration. Exhibits will cover the entire supply chain from design to finishing. IT systems, logistics and services will also be on display together with a forum for future-oriented subjects, such as sustainability, traceability, environmental protection, automation and supply-chain management. Texprocess will make its debut in Frankfurt am Main from 24 to 27 May 2011 and run concurrently with the well established Techtextil exhibition.
