Specialized embroidery pattern-making and embroidery techniques
Key considerations for pattern-making and embroidery techniques in specialty embroidery: 1. When creating the pattern, ensure that stitch spacing remains consistent. Inconsistent stitch spacing can lead to unstable chain stitches, while uneven towel-stitch heights will result in suboptimal sewing outcomes.
Key considerations for pattern-making and embroidery techniques in specialty embroidery.
1. The stitch length must remain consistent during pattern making. If the stitch length varies, the chain stitch will become unstable, and the terry stitch height will also be uneven, resulting in an unsatisfactory sewing effect.
2. The stitch length setting varies depending on the thickness of the thread used, the fabric's weight, and the desired stitch density for the pattern; however, within a single pattern, the stitch length should remain consistent.
3. When skipping stitches is necessary, some fabrics may deform as they move. Therefore, stitch skips should be kept as short as possible wherever they occur (Note: Wrapped embroidery and ribbon embroidery do not allow for stitch skipping).
4. Do not set a skip stitch when the pattern is finished, otherwise the towel loops will get caught by the machine needle.
5. When starting the jump from a towel embroidery pattern, make sure to stitch 2 or 3 chain stitches first before jumping to the next point. If you jump directly from the towel embroidery without these initial chain stitches, the embroidery thread may lift up, causing the towel loops to unravel.
6. Typically, towel embroidery patterns are completed using two or three stitches of chain stitching. If you finish directly with the towel fabric, the stitches may unravel when changing materials.
7. Avoid making sudden changes in the embroidery direction. Otherwise, it may result in skipped stitches—and especially when working with wrapped embroidery or satin stitching, uneven thread buildup can cause the stitches to pucker, leading to an unsightly appearance. Typically, such directional changes should stay within 90°.
