Lesson 38 : Embroidery Machines

Single Head Embroidery Machines

There machines are similar to basic lock stitch sewing machines. Garments or components are secured in hoops or frames to span or hold materials taut for stitching. These machines are often used for monogramming and custom work like appliqué work. They may be manually operated and computer controlled. Manually operated machines depend upon the skill of operators to position and manipulate materials under the needle.Computerized embroidery machines have pre programmed alphabets that can be produced in any size, slant or lettering type. All the operator need to do is place the garment.(vedio)
