Function

Technical
An example of a machine embroidered fabric badge. For centuries embroidery hand been done by hand, but during the industrial revolution mechanization of the process began. Embroidery machines were designed by 1860, combining in a single machine handloom technology with the existing sewing machine technology, the lock-stitch. The automation was refined in the in the 1970s - early 1980s with automatic, electronically controlled custom embroidered machines developed in Japan. Instead of the instructions being coded on a continuous reel of paper or Mylar(r) tape containing x-y coordinate information in Binary, Fortran or other numeric code to control pantograph movement, the information is now digitized on computer disks. These machines also do the work flat instead of vertically which allows automatic colour changes (Ref. 1).
