There are many methods of Embroidery. Below is a quick list for your convenience. We have only included a subset of all related items defining embroidery, for more clarification; call us at 800 728 7192. 3-D Foam Embroidery This type of embroidery gets its 3-D appearance from foam that's placed over the area to be embroidered. As the design is stitched, the needle perforates the foam. Once completed, the unused foam is pulled away. Foam is available in a variety of colors and shapes. Anti-Pilling A treatment applied to the garment to prevent pilling, or the formation of little balls of fabric due to wear. Applique The use of fabrics sewn onto one another for decoration that adds dimension and texture. Designs with applique are economical because they reduce the number of embroidery stitches needed to fill the design area. Automatic Color Change The ability of a multi-needle commercial embroidery machine to follow a command to change to another specified needle with a different thread color. Back Applique A piece of fabric used behind a design where the front fabric will be cut away to reveal the fabric underneath. Backing A woven or non-woven support material added to the back of the fabric being embroidered. It can be hooped with the item or placed between the machine throat plate and the hooped garment. It comes in various weights in three types: tearaway, cutaway, and washaway. Balboa Stitch A technique used to produce tone-on-tone designs that feature the actual stitches as a background and give the fabric prominence. Has an embossed appearance. Bean Stitch Three stitches placed back and forth between two points. Often used for outlining, because it eliminates the need for repeatedly digitizing a single-ply run stitch outline. Birdnesting Thread collecting between the fabric and needle plate. Can be caused by inadequate upper thread tension, upper thread not going through the take-up lever, upper thread not following the correct path, or flagging (the up and down motion caused in part by improper hooping). Blatt Stitch Schiffli term meaning "to feed the yarn", therefore producing a long zigzag stitch with threads lying close together. Adapted for multi-head use; see Satin Stitch. Blending A digitizing technique that makes different colors of thread flow together in a more pleasing manner. Relies heavily on variable densities. Gives a design a more realistic, 3-D look. Bobbin Spool or reel that holds the bobbin thread, which forms secure stitches on the underside of the fabric. Bobbin Case Unit Holding bobbin in a sewing machine. Small, round metal device for holding the bobbin. Used to tension the bobbin thread. Inserted in the hook for sewing. Bobbin Embroidery Designs worked with the fabric hooped face down and the specialty thread or ribbon wound onto the bobbin. This is most effective for simple designs or special effects with threads too heavy to be threaded through the needle.
