Computer embroidery printing, also known as ribbon printing, refers to the process of digitally printing cards, tapes or disks or preparing patterns to guide or stimulate various actions needed for embroidery machine and embroidery frame design. The designer of this process is the printer. This term comes from mechanical embroidery machine, which records stitches by punching holes in paper tape. Whether it is a mechanical embroidery machine or an electronic embroidery machine, the purpose of recording stitches is to enable the embroidery machine to recognize and execute its actions. Needles connected to horizontal and vertical rods can be used to record the points needed to form the pattern, mechanically or with a mouse or in a more modern way.
The basic method of printing has not changed. We still need to draw a picture six times the original size.
Computer embroidery
Let's make a version. When the computer is used, the patterns are all less than 6 times the normal size, but there will be no inaccuracies.
Put the drawings on the digital board in the same direction as the embroidery on the machine, and arrange them neatly. Don't let it move while working on it.
The most important thing in printing is to study lofting, plan the starting point, plan the path of lofting, arrange the number and order of color change, and skip stitches.
Start taking some time to do the above work well, so that you won't rework and damage your work. In addition, you should also plan the needle density required for the pattern. In short, we should always keep in mind the general concept of patterns.
The enlarged pattern should be an exact copy of the sketch. The printer is responsible for converting the drawings into the machine language of a specific machine. The printmaker's skill is the most important in the whole work. He wants to show the designer's ideas and ensure the quality and appearance of embroidery. One of the most basic requirements is to enlarge the sketch with an appropriate number of stitches and unfold the fabric correctly on the machine with an appropriate tension.
