How Does an Embroidery Machine Work?
Introduction Embroidery machines are used for adding embellishments and designs to fabric. They resemble most sewing machines, and the most common types are run off of computers with preset images and design options available. Older models allowed only freehand or preset stitches to be used. Most new embroidery machines come with their own software that already has preset patterns and shapes. You can create your own or purchase more. Many items can be designed, from a small monogram on a cloth or towel, to an actual piece of fiber art that can be hung on a wall. Selecting a Design The first step in using an embroidery machine would be to decide what design you would like to use and where it is going to be. You can choose a preset design or purchase one from many options on the Internet. Make sure that it is the proper format for your machine before purchasing it, or make sure you have the proper software to convert it to the one you need. Not all machines use the same file format.
