Embroidery is one of the highest-qualitypossibilities of textile refinements. Durability, feeling and wash ability ofthe applied company logo, motif or the promotion message are hardly to beexcelled by other printing methods.
However, how does such an embroidery design get onto caps, pullovers orpockets?
At the beginning stands the idea of a design, mostly in the form of a companylogo together with a slogan. If the idea only exists on paper, the design mustbe digitized into computer readable data. This takes place e.g. through readingin with a scanner. Then if the motif is available as a file, it must beconverted into vector graphics. In this case, individual pixels are no moredetermining for the design but the lines, which separate a color field. Onerecognizes vector graphics also by the fact that one is able to enlarge theminfinitely without quality loss, because the dividing lines always remainsharp. These vector graphics are loaded into the punch program. The semanticsof the word is to be traced back to the procedures before the computerizedembroidery program creation where the commands were still pricked by hand in a punch card made of hard paper.
The puncher on the software decisively determines the quality of the finishedstitch content. Here there are dozens of parameters such as stitch density,stitch direction, stitch distance, stitch pattern and the precedence of stitch work correctly on the motif, the embroidery machine and the textiles to beembroidered. Thus a cap requires a different embroidery program than a leatherjacket, even if it concerns one and the same embroidery motif.
Not without reason there are companies whichhave specialized one and only in the production of the embroidery motifs.
Then if the embroidery program is ready, it is transmitted either by network,direct connection or floppy disk to the embroidery machine. Again also in theembroidery machine there are different parameters which can improve the embroidery result or make it worse. The most important ones here are above and underthread tension and embroidery speed.
Then the real conversion of the program into the textile embroidery is onlyroutine. The embroidery machine is made, in principle, just like a normal housesewing machine, many components, e.g. the under thread guidance looks verysimilar.
The essential difference is the amount of needles, which reaches from 6 up to18 automatically changing needles and therefore usable colors in one motif.Then when the motif is constructed, a quick change of the embroidery piece canbe done, which makes the embroidery very interesting especially for biggerworks orders. Bigger embroidery machines are so-called multi head machines,here i.e. up to 24 embroideries are done at the same time. This increases theeconomic efficiency and therefore makes the price per piece more attractive.With the use of the finished product there are hardly any restrictions.Therefore, work clothes are embroidered with pleasure. Also clothes that needschlorine laundry, like for example doctor's smocks can be permanently improved with special sewing cotton.
