Embroidery

Embroidery is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply threads. Nowadays, embroidery is usually seen on hats, hats, coats, blankets, shirts, jeans, dresses, stockings, and golf shirts.


This craft has an interesting history:


In popular tradition, the embroidery was related to the ability that marked a girl's path to womanhood. Seen as a typical women's activity, embroidery was often used as a form of biography. Women who could not access formal education and did not know how to write often used it to document their lives.

In eighteenth-century England, embroidered clothing was often seen as a sign of wealth and status. Embroidery was an important part of the medieval Islamic world. The seventeenth-century Turkish traveler Evliya Çelebi called it "the craft of two hands." Embroidery was a sign of social status in Muslim societies, so in cities like Damascus, Cairo, and Istanbul, the embroidery was visible on handkerchiefs, uniforms, flags, calligraphy, shoes, tunics, slippers, bags, and even leather belts. Often for the wealthy people, craftsmen embroidered objects with gold and silver thread. The imperial embroidery workshops in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur, and Ahmedabad became famous for their sophisticated figures, patterns, and knots. The embroidered fabrics used for the holidays were beyond imagination.

Development during the Industrial Revolution automatized the embroidery process. The first embroidery machine was invented in France in 1832 by Josué Heilmann, which was a manual machine. Automatic embroidery at St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, flourished in the second half of the 19th century. Both St. Gallen (Switzerland) and Plauen (Germany) were important centers where embroidered automatically. Swiss and Germans saw a thriving business in embroidery so they immigrated to New Jersey (U.S.A.) in the early 20th century and developed a machine embroidery industry there.

Nowadays a major supplier of embroidery machines is Melco, which almost 20 years ago redefined efficiency with the first modular network embroidery system. Melco embroidery machines offer outstanding performance, efficiency, and stitch quality. Due to the improved seam dynamics, the frequency of "thread problems" is kept to a minimum. This means optime and higher profitability potential. In addition to amazing efficiency and performance, the seam quality is outstanding, and the new automatic cutting system is durable and reliable.

What does a “modular” embroidery system do?

With the Melco operating system (MOS), you can control every machine on the network from a single computer. Allows the management of individual machines without interrupting production on the entire network. Another system does not offer this level of control and flexibility. With Melco EMT16X, there are no limits to system configuration. And the yarn supply is managed by the patented Acti-Feed ™ yarn control system, automatically providing the exact amount.
