Machine embroidery is a process in which a design is embroidered onto fabric using a computer-controlled sewing machine. Here is a general overview of how the process works:
-
The first step is to create a design or choose one from a pre-existing library. This can be done using specialized embroidery design software or a graphics editing program.
-
The design is then transferred to the embroidery machine, either by connecting the computer to the machine directly or by saving the design onto a USB drive or memory card and loading it into the machine.
-
The fabric is placed under the embroidery machine's needle and the machine is programmed to follow the design. The machine moves the fabric and the needle to create the embroidery, using thread to stitch the design onto the fabric.
-
The machine continues to embroider the design until it is complete. The embroidery process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the embroidered area.
-
Once the embroidery is complete, the fabric is removed from the machine and the finished embroidery can be admired.
