This document discusses the basics of embroidery machines. It explains that embroidery machines use computerized patterns and needles to decorate fabric with thread. Home machines typically have one needle for small projects, while commercial machines have multiple needles and are used for large-scale production. The document then goes into more details about the key components of embroidery machines, including the machine heads with multiple needles, the thread feeding stand, different types of frames to hold the fabric in place, and additional devices like sequin and cording heads.

1. EMBROIDERY MACHINE – BASICS

2. Also called digital embroidery, this pastime is the newest and fastest way to decorate fabric with thread.
A computerized embroidery machine holds a small piece of the fabric taut and moves the needle in accordance with a programmed
pattern.
Home embroidery machines and commercial embroidery machines, both requiring the use of a computer.
Home machines are built for small projects; they usually have one needle, meaning they can do only one garment at a time. About
the same size as a traditional sewing machine, they don’t take up much space.
Commercial machines, on the other hand, are built for production work and have several needles. These beasts can take up entire
rooms and cost several thousand dollars.

4. A multi-needle machine may consist of multiple sewing
heads, each of which can sew the same design onto a
separate garment concurrently. Such a machine might
have 20 or more heads, each consisting of 15 or more
needles. A head is usually capable of producing many
special fabric effects, including satin
stitch embroidery, chain
stitch embroidery,sequins, appliqué, and cutwork.

2) THREADS ARE INTERWINED WITH THE PARTS OF THIS
STAND TO ENSURE SINGLE CONTINOUS SMOOTH THREADS
ARE SENT TO NEEDLES FOR EMBROIDERY
THREAD FEEDING STAND
3. THREAD FEEDING STAND

10. 1) STABILISES THE FABRIC AND PLACES IT ON MACHINE
2) To avoid the movement of the design whilst being stitched as
described above’
3) Stabilizers or interfacing are added beneath or on top of the fabric,
or both In a Frame.
