The patterns are sewn with thread if an accessory or garment is embroidered. This can be for practical or decorative purposes. For example, a business owner might want their staff to have their company logo embroidered on their polo shirts. 

There are several different types of embroidery, but we specialize in machine embroidery. 

How do embroidery machines work?

“Machine Embroidery” refers to using a particular sewing machine or embroidery machine to create a pattern on a fabric of your choice. It is most commonly used commercially as it is an excellent tool for marking products or uniforms, but it can also be used to create patterns for purely decorative purposes. There are two main types of machine embroidery: free motion and computerized.

With free-motion machine embroidery, designs are created using a primary zigzag sewing machine, but this can be limiting. It is also labor-intensive and time-consuming, as the embroiderer has to manually develop the design using various settings on the sewing machine.

On the other hand, as the name suggests, computerized machine embroidery is controlled by a computer. These industrial and commercial embroidery machines, like the machines we use here at Custom Planet, have a pulley or pulley system that keeps the embroidery region of the fabric taut under the sewing needles. The machine automatically moves the area to create the design from a pre-programmed digital embroidery pattern.

Embroidery machines will vary in their capabilities, requiring varying degrees of input from the user. Some ask you to change the thread color, while others can crop and change colors automatically. Also, multi-needle machines can have multiple sewing heads, which means they can process multiple garments simultaneously.

How do embroidery machines work on t-shirts?

T-shirts are challenging to process, but they are the most commonly processed garments. I would use the nylon mesh technique for t-shirts. Take a layer or two of nylon mesh and make the designs on it; that’s how it’s done. The machine then applies it to the T-shirt.

To embroider directly on T-shirts with your sewing machine, you must first place a soft tear guide behind the area you want to embroider. Make sure there is no strain on your balancer. I tied the fabric and stabilizer together.

How do embroidery machines work on lightweight fabrics?

Lightweight fabrics are perfect for embroidering; the problem is that if the fabric is transparent, the liner/stabilizer will show through; You can use a water-soluble stabilizer or a very light, paper-thin stabilizer. Some people use organza fabric of the same color as the stabilizer. Then the additional stabilizer is cut close to the design.

How do embroidery machines work on vinyl and Leather?

The problem with vinyl and leather is that you can’t use heat to adhere to the fixer, so you’ll need a self-adhesive fixer. Then the next problem is that putting leather or vinyl on the underwire will leave an unwanted mark, so you can do the same as you would with plush fabrics, i.e., attach the stabilizer and stick the fabric to it.

How do embroidery machines work on heavyweight fabrics?

You will need a suitable tear-off stabilizer on the back – use a medium or heavyweight stabilizer; use multiple or multiple layers if you have a thin stabilizer.
