Custom Embroidery Tips

In order to create a high quality embroidery product, there are a few basic, but significant components that you have to watch out for when creating your own embroidery technique.
The Thread:
The two main types of embroidery threads are Polyester and Rayon. The color of the thread also has to complement the colors in the embroidery design, along with the color of the fabric.
Stitches:
Fill-stitches form different patterns and stitch directions, and cover large areas. Too many stitches will create small gaps and too few will show through the design. Keep in mind that fabric tends to absorb small stitches, so they should be avoided.
Underlay stitches, though often overlooked, plays an important part in the final embroidery quality and design. The method in which underlay stitches are sewn into the material also paves the way for the top stitches.
Backing Materials:
Backing materials like Cutaways and Tearaways should be chosen according to the type of garment or fabric used.
The Topping:
Toppings prevent fibers from getting caught in between stitches on some rough textured fabrics such as Fleece.
Locations:
The most noticeable area of the garment should be chosen as the central location of the embroidery design.

Embroidery Technique

Posted on 9:38 PM | By Didu | In , ,


Applique - A separate, pre-cut piece of fabric that is decorated (or decorated and then cut), and applied to another piece of fabric, typically a garment. Appliqués are frequently used to reduce overall embroidery stitch counts, execute reproductions of which embroidery is impractical and decorate substrates difficult to embroider directly.

Backing - Typically non-woven material (sometimes referred to by brand name 'Pellon') applied beneath material being sewn to increase fabric stability and support stitches. Available in both tear-away and cut-away styles of various weights, backing is generally hooped with the substrate or otherwise positioned between substrate and embroidery machine throat plate prior to stitching.

Birdnesting - Typically caused by inadequate top-thread tension, top thread not following thread path, or up-and-down substrate movement under needle (see flagging), birdnesting describes an accumulation of thread between substrate and needle plate, and can result in restricted or irregular substrate travel.

Bobbin - Spool or reel that holds bobbin thread (or 'under thread') in bobbin case. Bobbin thread works with upper thread to create stitches.

Buckram or buckram lining - Heavy woven material, stiffened with glue or other substance, commonly found inside the crown of certain caps, used to lend shape to the cap; sometimes useful as substitute for other backing.

Chenille - Type of embroidery-commonly found in appliqué and athletic applications-characterized by a design surface comprised of heavy loops of thread; sewn with heavy threads or yarns, chenille is created on specialized embroidery equipment.

Column - Typically used to form borders around fill areas and for rendering text, the column stitch consists of closely spaced satin stitches.

Complex fill - Similar to standard fill, technique that allows digitizer 'knock out' area(s) within fill, creating openings or negative space (visualize Swiss cheese).

Condensed format - Digital design-storage format that allows for less limited (than expanded format) enlargement or reduction in size, scale, stitch length and density in a digitized design (within stitch-type limitations), due to proportional number of stitches being placed between pre-defined points, rather than individual stitches being assigned specific sizes; may not be read by all embroidery machines (see also expanded format).

Digitizing - Historically (and colloquially) referred to as punching, the digital means of converting artwork into the vector commands-readable by an embroidery machine's computer-that determine needle penetrations, color changes, stitch characteristics, start and stop points, etc.

Digitizing tablet - The platen or surface on which original art to be digitized is placed; holds the artwork flat, allowing digitizer to specify various design characteristics (see digitizing) by 'tracing' and otherwise designating them with a digitizing 'puck' (input device similar to a computer mouse).

Editing - Limited form of digital design manipulation that typically allows user to edit stitches or blocks of stitches, incorporate text, scale up or down, reposition design elements, add, delete and modify machine commands, etc.

Emblem - Commonly an insignia, crest or patch-often applied via appliqué-characterized by a finished, sewn border that contains text and/or design elements.

Embroidery - Decorative sewing on fabric or other substrate that incorporates design elements, text or other recognition, commercial or promotional graphics; originally executed by hand, embroidery has evolved through various stages of technology to its current state of computer-driven, multi-head, multi-color embroidery machines.

Expanded format (see also condensed format) - Digital design-storage format that assigns individual stitches specific sizes; selection of this format typically restricts user's ability to scale a design up or down because stitch counts remain constant regardless of final design size.

Fill - Large design area typically covered by series of running stitches, the pattern of which may be varied in terms of stitch length, angle and density.

Finishing - Any of a number of procedures-thread trimming, removal of excess backing or topping, spot or soil removal or steaming to remove hoop marks-that are performed between completion of embroidery and packaging for customer.

Flagging - As needle moves up and down, substrate may also move up and down against the machine bed (resembling a waving flag), causing birdnesting and poor design registration; typically due to poor presser-foot adjustment or improperly stabilized fabric.

Hook or rotary hook - A circular device which spins around the bobbin case with a pointed arm protruding from its body-the hook; is instrumental, in concert with the needle and upper thread, in forming stitches.

Hook timing - Proper synchronization of hook's rotary and needle's up/down movement; necessary to form stitches.

Hoop or frame - Device used to stabilize the fabric in that area of substrate to be embroidered; typically composed of two concentric, wood or plastic rings, the inner of which fits tightly within the outer-with the fabric in between-stabilizing the fabric and holding it in close contact with the machine bed during embroidery.

Hooping aid or hooping station - A device used to aid in the hooping process, generally by holding the substrate and/or hoop as the rings are engaged, in order to enhance hooping efficiency and consistency.

Lock stitch - Sometimes referred to as a tack or lock-down stitch, it is typically found at the conclusion of elements such as fills and columns, or prior to color changes or stop points.

Looping - Erratic stitch construction-often due to improper top-thread tension-resulting in loops on the surface of the embroidery.

Monogram - Sewn or embroidered design consisting of stylized letters-typically three or fewer-that represent the initial(s) of a person or organization.

Needle - Slender piece of steel with a point, ball, taper or other shape on one end-to facilitate penetration of various fabric types-and a nearby hole (or eye) for thread to pass through.

Nippers - Small, scissors-like cutting tool specifically designed for thread trimming, during finishing of embroidery

Pencil transfer - Least expensive 'proofing' method performed by lightly rubbing a soft-leaded pencil on tracing or tissue paper placed over embroidery sample.

Puckering - Gathering of fabric due to its tension being less than that of stitches; typically due to improper thread tension, inadequate hooping or inappropriate backing.

Pull compensation - Deliberate distortion digitized into a design to compensate for thread pull that would otherwise cause a 1-cm stitch (for example) to shrink to a .9-cm stitch, due to thread tension.

Registration - The proper relationship and alignment of all colors, stitches and other elements in a design.

Running stitch - Sometimes called 'walking' stitch, used for fine detail, outlining, and quickly covering space between separate design elements; used primarily for underlay.

SPM - Stitches-per-minute measurement used to rate embroidery machine production speed.

Satin stitch - Closely spaced stitches, similar to zigzag, except that they alternate between straight stitches and angled stitches (rather than all angled) of varying length, angle and density.

Scaling - Proportionately enlarging or reducing all elements in a digitized design.

Scanner - Means of converting artwork-either transmissive or reflective-into digital format, to then be further digitized or edited via computer.

Short-stitch filter - Digitizing-program feature that eliminates stitches shorter than a predetermined length, to reduce thread breaks.

Short stitching - Deliberately shorter stitches incorporated by digitizer to compensate for increasing stitch density in corners and curves.

Special fill - A function available in some digitizing software that automatically incorporates special patterns or textures into fill areas.

Stitch editing - The alteration of one or more stitches in an embroidery design, accomplished as a function of digitizing or editing.

Stock design - Similar to clip art, a 'generic' embroidery design available in digital format at a lower cost than a custom-digitized design.

Tackle twill - Text characters cut from twill fabric with an adhesive backing; typically used for athletic applications, the backing allows the character to be tacked in place-appliqué-wise-then its edges finished with zigzag stitches.

Tape - Archaic (rendered largely obsolete by digital technology) means of storing embroidery-design information on a paper (or other medium) tape with holes actually punched through its surface which are then 'read' by an automatic embroidery machine; sometimes used colloquially as a synonym for 'diskette.'

Tension - Proper top- and under-thread tension is critical in the correct formation of stitches (in some cases, adequate tension may be quickly assessed by examining the underside of an embroidery and observing a 1:2 ratio of bobbin thread to top thread).

Thread - Typically a fine-gauge synthetic-but also of natural materials, for certain applications-cord used for embroidery stitching; made of two or more filaments twisted together for strength and other characteristics; available in a wide array of colors and performance attributes, as well as various specialty threads (such as metallic).

Topping - Sometimes known as 'facing,' a material placed on top of the substrate fabric prior to embroidery-either hooped or otherwise held in place-intended to neutralize fabric-surface characteristics such as the heavy nap of fleece, or the wales of corduroy; after embroidery, excess topping is removed either manually, or through the application of heat or water.

Trimming - The removal of excess stitches, thread ends and backing during the finishing process.

Underlay - Stitches applied prior to other design elements to either A) neutralize fabric-surface characteristics (see also topping); or B) to create special design effects such as depth and dimensionality.

Zigzag - Stitches that progress in an alternating-angle (zigzag) fashion; typically used for final stitching on appliqué and tackle twill.

Embroidery Designs

Embroidery is an art of materials (mostly fabrics) with designs stitched with together with yarn.

All purpose needles can be used f or most embroidery projects. Sewing machines can also be used to create machine embroidery designs. This type of embroidery is very popular for designs on jackets, sweatshirts, and sports wear etc. Mostly these embroidery designs machines are computerized that read digital embroidery designs files made by some specific software. Many machine embroidery designs can be found on internet and one can easily work on those by downloading designs. There are some machines only for embroidery designs purposes while others are combination of embroider design and sewing.

Making Embroidery Designs and Patterns

There is really nothing much to making embroidery designs in the embroidery digitizing process. Once we have selected the digitizing program, we can start on our embroidery projects. The design and editing the design is part of the process, of course. We start by picking out the artwork or design to digitize. Make sure the design is outlined by clean lines. We can then digitize this design as a vector file. Once we have set the design in a compatible file format, we can then upload it to the embroidery digitizing program. The design is useless if the program cannot recognize the file.

The less complex the design, the clearer the image. We can manually edit the design with our embroidery digitizing software. Embroidery is a craft that involves a lot of stitches and patterns that the design and the digitizing program should operate smoothly together.

The History of Embroidery and Its Modern Development

The History of Embroidery and Its Modern Development

Most people associate embroidery with a boring way to fill up a housewife's daily life. Embroidery has not only a long history. Different cultures formed different embroidery types. The styles of embroidery, which different nations invented, were passed on generations to generations and many of them have survived till nowadays.
We know of the embroidery work practiced by the ancient Egyptians. Also famous is the "raised" embroidery, practiced in the 16th century. It is better known as the Elizabethan embroidery. Still popular today is the Western European embroidery called crewel. Nowadays, embroidery has developed so far, that even the clumsiest novice can try and stitch something beautiful by using computer software or high-tech sewing machines.

An Introduction to the World of Embroidery

Embroidery just might be the domain of your grandmother, but it still had plenty of people who are interested in getting started in embroidery. As far back as Egyptian and Hebrew times individuals decorated their clothing with rich embroidery. The internet has allowed hobbyists and professionals from all over the world to mingle and discuss their latest embroidery projects. There are dozens of custom embroidery websites and people are always looking for free embroidery designs and embroidery digitizing.

In fact, A Google search for the term "embroidery" shows more than 70 merchants advertising their embroidery related products. If you like embroidery, there are a lot of online resources for you to explore.

Process of Embroidery Digitizing

Embroidery digitizing is really all so easy. Just three: the embroidery machine, the digitizing software, and the design and materials. With the digitized design saved to your machine's card, the machine will be able to start with the embroidery project.

We can say that embroidery has become an easy task with embroidery digitizing, right?

Stitch-on-Stitch With Embroidery Digitizing

Stitch-on-Stitch embroidery is something we'd like to see rise in popularity with embroidery digitizing. Computerized embroidery applying the tone-on-tone technique is not so common within the world of digitizing.

Stitch-on-Stitch embroidery is the a kind of embroidery involving an embroidery design that is of the same color as that of the fabric that it will be sewn on. Thought it is not s popular as the other kinds of embroidery used in embroidery digitizing and embroidery software too, tone-on-tone embroidery is still a fashionable trend in the industry. Tone-on-tone embroidery is not just used for soft designs like snowflakes on tablecloths and curtains. Of course, the women also get their share of classic designs with tone-on-tone embroidery. While embroidery digitizing can also accomplish tone-on-tone embroidery designs, there is competition with tone-on-tone monogramming. One main disadvantage in using tone-on-tone designs for your fabrics is that it could clash with the other designs the fabrics have. Don't forget that embroidery digitizing was made to enliven every embroidery work, even simple things like tone-on-tone designs.

What is Embroidery Digitizing?

What is Embroidery Digitizing?

When you're into embroidery and needlecraft you may have come across embroidery digitizing. Embroidery digitizing it the process of converting artwork into a stitch file that can be read by an embroidery machine and then sewn into fabric.

How do we go about embroidery digitizing? Pathing, or mapping, refers to the sequence of stitches in the design, from start to finish. A smoother design made in a shorter time costs less.

The digitizer then assigns stitch types to sections of the design. The underlay stitches will be added first. The underlay stitches should be done correctly because it helps the other remaining stitches have a smooth surface to embroider on. When not done correctly, the stitches will sink into the fabric or allow the shirt fabric to show through the design.

There are only three basic stitch types. These are run, satin, and fill stitches. There are many variations of these stitch types, however. There are types or fabrics that may only ruin the design. While being embroidered, a design may move and may cause some of the stitches to shift. Embroidery digitizing is indeed faster and easier.

How Embroidery Digitizing Works ?

Embroidery isn't all that hard these days, because of digitizing. Embroidery digitizing is basically putting in digital data into a computer with a digital file or scanned image and then creating stitch types, directions, density settings, and adjustments to make perfect embroidery. It's like recreating an image or a pre-made pattern with the help of a digitizing software or program and saving it as an embroidery machine code.

The first step towards embroidery digitizing is to know what type of embroidery software to use for the project. We can find many embroidery digitizing softwares on the Internet. Part of the digitizer's job is to make adjustments on the settings to make perfect embroidery.

Convert the size of the image to a bigger one, with the recommended size 3 to 6 times its actual size. See that the image is clean. This machine code is entered into the embroidery machine to be sewed onto the fabric.


Many people now experience easy and faster embroidery because of today's computer technology and embroidery digitizing.
