What can be done to the embroidery machine

Looking at Chinese consumer goods, flooded streets, many people think that the embroidery machine are waste of money and is suitable only for her embroidery cartoon characters on children's clothing and sad to form chevrons guards.

However, the possibility of embroidery machines extend much wider.

Modern sewing and embroidery machines, special software and special materials allow embroider traditional techniques such as embroidery or cross-stitch, in the original techniques - yarn or ribbons, embroidering pictures in the technique of "sfumato" or "fotostezhok", as well as to easily perform product other needlework techniques are not directly related to the embroidery. For example, you can perform lace cutwork, appliqué or sew quilt, made in the technique of quilting and patchwork.

How it works

The fabric is stretched and secured in the hoop. carriage mechanism moves the hoops along two axes. Built-in car computer controls the movement of the carriage and the needle punctures in accordance with the program - "Machine embroidery design".

The process of sewing on a machine usually looks like this:

Please file with embroidery design is transferred to the car. The machine prompts you to install the hoop, and the appropriate size to thread the desired color. Before you start to embroider, you can move or rotate the design in the desired position within the hoop. After pressing the "start" button, can only watch as the formed embroidered pattern on the fabric. If the design is color, the machine embroiders the first color stops and offers to change the thread color. At this point, you can trim the excess pulling threads, and there are machines that cut themselves are pulling and not have to worry about it. After the embroidery hoop can be removed and ironed ready to work.

 

Main features embroidery machines

The size of the hoop

One of the most important characteristics of the embroidery machine - the maximum size of the embroidery.

Maximum field of embroidery, performed without having to move the hoop, progress is determined by the size of the carriage. The width of the embroidery machine is limited to the length of the platform.

Many manufacturers produce "Adjustable" hoop for their machines. These hoops are several anchorages and first embroidered design one half, then the hoop are fixed for the second mount, and embroidered the second half. Design of the hoop must be pre-prepared - divided into parts in a special program.

Securing hoop
An important feature that affects the embroidery quality - reliability hoop mounting. Having a lot of backlash in the mechanism of fixing the hoop and move leads to a shift of embroidery parts and distortion figure. The larger the size of the hoop, the more backlash mechanism affects the accuracy of positioning of the hoop. circuit offset effect is particularly noticeable in the corners remote from the mounting and working with heavy materials.

Hoop in most household appliances are mounted in one of the parties. The use of a single attachment simplifies the embroidery unit, but such structures are particularly prone to the appearance of backlashes.

Significantly reduce the clearance allows the consolidation of the hoop at two points - for the opposite side. Unfortunately, this fixation occurs only in professional and industrial embroidery machines, in particular in Janome MB-4 and 650 Brother PR-.

If you want to embroider a large complex pictures or collect embroidered linens from separate elements, you should pay special attention to the reliability of the hoop mounting.

Quality embroidery


embroidery quality is probably the most important parameter.
In the result affects a lot - the stability of yarn tension, the quality of processing of the friction surfaces, the accuracy of adjustment points and gaps in the mechanism, in general - the culture of production and technology.


Unfortunately, it is impossible to measure the quality of stagnation, but it is possible to evaluate well the machine embroiders or bad. For this purpose, it is necessary to sew the vending machine test design. For the test design should be chosen, in which there Satin rolls of various widths, various enveloping the solid, straight stitch and triple straight stitch. From these simple elements is almost any embroidery. Embroider cotton should be at an average density of non-elastic fabric, such as satin. Be sure to use a stabilizer and thread quality. Embroider at low speed. Well, if you carry out the test will help an experienced embroiderer or Sales.

That should look like high-quality embroidery:

Stitches are firmly on the fabric and embroidery does not look loose
All stitches satin beads look the same, but the width of the rollers remains stable
Lower thread is not shown on the front side of the embroidery
From Stagnation is not knocked loop
On the underside there is unexplained knots and loops of the upper thread
weave is formed on the underside. Well, if the lower thread from the inside takes two-thirds of the width of the satin roller.
A data transmission method in a car
The most convenient and modern way of data transmission in the car is the use of USB-devices. In most cases, to the USB port of the machine can be connected to an ordinary USB flash drive, but there is a machine, which can be connected to CD-ROM or other storage device or devices for wireless communication with the computer.

 

There are machines that support other more or less common standard carriers, for example, CompactFlash or PCMCIA card.

 

Next the family - the car using your own memory card standard. When buying such machines is important to ensure that the necessary memory cards, card readers and adapters are commercially available and are adequate money. Well, if all this iron is included in the package. Otherwise, you can stay with an expensive toy that does not know how to embroider anything but a dozen designs stored in the memory of the machine at the factory.

 

Another method of data transmission - direct connection to a computer machine. This is nice if next to the machine there is a place for the computer. Poor, if this method is the only one (there are machines, all managed by only a computer) as a computer or a place near the machine may need to do other things and it becomes impossible to embroider. Another disadvantage of this method of data transfer - a possible failure of the electronics of the machine when the computer malfunction or ground, while repairs can be very expensive. This failure occurs very rarely and only when using stationary computers. When connecting laptops, this problem did not occur.
