INTRODUCTION
Computerized embroidery, also called Computer-controlled embroidery or simply
machine embroidery is a kind of Computer-aided design and manufacturing.
They can create embroidery from computerized designs.
Stitches like zig-zag, satin, flat fill, bean stitch, and others are simply straight stitches in
particular patterns can be formed.

TYPES OF STITCHES
Straight stitches: a line of repeated single
stitches.
Manual stitches: lets us plot each stitch
separately.
Satin stitches: Satin stitches track back and forth
over a narrow area, alternating between an
angled stitch and a straight stitch, like a zig-zag
with every other stitch perpendicular to the area’s
edges.
shiny finish due to the unbroken, long threads in
those straight passes.
StitchFill: comprised of lines of straight stitches, most often worked very closely to each
other so as to completely cover the ground surface
ADVANTAGES
Less labour
Less Time
Cost effective
More perfection in the finishing of the final products.
Digitizing: Digitizing is a process of converting the image file in
digital format and provide a path to follow by the embroidery
machine.
PHYSICAL COMPONENTS
Embroidery arm and head: The arm moves the hooped fabric around according to the
programmed design, while the head contains the needles, thread, and needle bar.
Needle Bar - The needle bar contains the actual needles and controls their up and down
movement during stitching.
Needles: Needles should be adapted to the thread type and
weight
Shank - clamped by the sewing machine's needle holder
Shoulder - where the thick shank tapers down to the shaft
Shaft - a length suitable for driving the eye and thread through
the material and down to the bobbin. The shaft is the longest
part and determines the size (diameter)
Groove - cut in the back of the shaft to release the thread into
a loop that aids the hook or shuttle to pick up the thread
Scarf - provides extra room for the hook or shuttle to pass
close by
Eye - the hole, carries the thread
Point - penetrates the material by parting the threads or
cutting a hole.
Threads and thickness: mostly viscose or polyester.
Standard thread weights:
80 very fine, e.g. for monograms on silk ties
60 fine, e.g. for delicate fabrics and small letters)
50 medium-fine, for medium weight fabrics
40 is medium, standard fabric, the most popular weight
30 medium-thick, for filling larger surfaces, quilts, cross-
stitches
15 thick
Embroidery Hoop or Frame: holds the fabric in place so it
is secure during stitching
Frame sash: frame sash that holds the frame tightly connected to the embroidery arm and
actually does all the moving.

Feed Type
Acti-feed is the technology that is used.
Uses thread feed gears, rollers, and a thread sensor bar to feed the
appropriate amount of thread for each stitch.
Amount of thread feed per stitch is dependent on material thickness
Feed type is of 2 types
Standard acti- used to feed thread at a user specified amount.
Auto acti-used to feed thread based on feedback from the thread sensor bar.
Lubrication
Use of correct lubrication and proper time is necessary .
Sewing machine oil, polymer light grease, heavy grease.
Lubrication is done manually.
Specified drops are to be added to different parts.
For example- 1 drop for rotary hook, 24 drops for needle drive .
1. Create the Digital Design
The first step in machine embroidery is creating the digital art that will be stitched onto the fabric. This is
the longest part of the process as it involves a number of steps.
• Artwork must be scanned in or opened in a special digital art program, then edited on a standard
computer to turn the image file into a design composed of stitches.
Some programs do this automatically, while others give the sewist many ways to edit the outcome in terms
of stitch length, colors, stitch angles, and more. The goal with this step is to get the art to look the way it
will look after it is stitched using the digitizing software.
2. Convert the Design into A Stitch File
Once the artwork has been successfully digitized in preparation for stitching on a Amaya embroidery machine, it
must be converted into a stitch file. These files are formatted to be interpreted by the computer within the
embroidery machine. Not all makes and models understand the same stitch files, so it is important to save the
file in the format specific to usage on design shop pro.
3. Then file has to send to a Seizer setting software
When the file is successfully save in design shop pro then its has to send to melco sizer software in
which we can fix the appropriate size of the artwork which is uploaded, in this design can be set as
per inches with respect to origin or center of the design.
4. Prepare the Settings
When the digitized stitch file has been uploaded into the machine's memory, instructions must be
given to the machine to correctly stitch the design. This includes assigning needles and colors to
various parts of the design and setting up stitching sequences. When using this data, embroidery
machines stitch with the desired color until they need to switch colors, tying off the previous color
before the next needle moves into position to begin stitching by using the machine software Amaya.

5. Hoop the Fabric
After all settings have been set and the art is ready to be stitched, the next step is to secure the
fabric on the hoop or frame, then set the hoop into the frame arms. If stabilizers are necessary,
they should be applied during this step before the actual stitching begins. Secure hooping requires
practice, so it is important that sewists take their time with this step or risk ruining the design if the
fabric is not tensioned properly
6. Turn on the Machine
Once the fabric has been hooped, the last and final step is to turn on the machine and let it
stitch. As it stitches, it will use the different needles and threads that have been set up ahead of
time, the head moving around the design as the needle stitches. It will continue stitching until the
entire design is complete, after which it can be turned off and the fabric unhooped.
Control Panel :-
It is the control panel attached to the machine from which we can adjust the frame positioning from
where the embroidery will start, by using of combination of button we can set the frame and with
the help of laser in it we can see the embroidery pattern is correct or not . After hooping the fabric
to start the machine we have to press the start button ,for sudden stopping of machine there is
button.
