5 Types of Machine Embroidery

 

What is machine embroidery?

The word "machine embroidery" refers to the technique of creating a pattern on a cloth with a sewing machine or a specialty embroidery machine. Machine embroidery patterns are most typically used for commercial purposes because it's an excellent tool for branding items or uniforms, but they may also be used to make patterns for merely ornamental purposes.

 

Patchwork Embroidery:

 

In this technique, the little pieces of cloth are frequently assembled on another fabric substrate. They are usually organized pleasingly. This technique makes use of machine stitches. The patchwork technique is utilized to create a more dramatic appearance, and any stitch can be used to embellish your design. Quilts are embellished using this embroidery method.

 

Whitework Embroidery:

 

The whitework machine embroidery patterns are most commonly made with white thread on white cloth. It's also known as "French Laid Work." Broderie Anglaise, shadow work, and other embroidery techniques are always included in this method.

 

Shadow Work Embroidery:

Herringbone stitch is used in shadow work embroidery and is often employed on semitransparent or transparent textiles. As a result, the shadow work may be pleasingly seen on the material's face. Georgette, organdie, batiste, muslin, and other sheer or semi-sheer lightweight fabrics are commonly used for this stitching method.

 

Candlewicking Embroidery:

Candlewicking embroidery is a type of whitework embroidery that uses a different method. This needlework is usually done with an unbleached thick cotton thread on the unbleached muslin. Candlewicking is a "traditional embroidery technique" because it employs an antique technique known as the "colonial knot." On the design line, these colonial knots are made.

 

Fish Scale Embroidery:

The fish scales, such as goldfish, are used to create the needlework designs in fish-scale embroidery. Velvet is the most common fabric for this needlework. The fish scale is prepared first, and then holes are made at the base of each scale using this process. The cloth may then be sewn over it.
