EMBROIDERY

1.What is embroidery?
Embroidery also known as “needle embroidery”. It is one of the excellent national traditional crafts in China to use embroidery needle to lead color thread (silk, velvet, thread), to stitch and transport needle on fabric (silk, cloth) according to the design pattern, and to form patterns or words with embroidery trace. In ancient times it was called “needlework”. In ancient times this kind of work was mostly done by women so it also known as “gong”

2.What is needed for embroidery?
Embroidery three elements: needle, thread, cloth

3.Raw material for embroidery
A Thread
1) Rayon (often used for top stitch)
2) Polyester silk (often used for top stitch)
3) Cotton thread (often used for bottom finish)
4) Gold thread (used for surface thread), other wool thread, nylon thread, linen and so on

Rayon Thread : Used in embroidery. Also known as rayon and artificial fiber, is the result of modern scientific progress, and its hand feel and luster can be comparable to silk. Rayon silk is processed by plant fiber through all sorts of technology and process, easy be affected with damp, the intensity after be affected with damp is reduced obviously, want to be able to be colored with low temperature only, dyeing cost is low, good control. Rayon is more expensive, feel good, good gloss, easy to color, bright color, suitable for high-grade embroidery. Specifications of commonly used rayon thread : 250D/2, 150D/3, 150D/2, 120D/2, etc

Cotton thread: common thread for embroidery. Also known as cotton yarn , is made of combed cotton yarn, high strength, uniform strips, bright color, complete chromatography, good luster, sun resistance, washable, not fueling.embroidered on cotton, linen, artificial fiber fabrics, beautiful and generous, widely used. Top thread and bottom line for embroidery. Commonly used cotton thread specifications: 30S/2, 40S/2, 60S/2
Artificial cotton: also known as mercerizing cotton, is a blend of polyester and cotton, with brightness and luster. Good tensile strength. Top thread and bottom line for embroidery. Commonly used rayon thread specifications: 30S/2, 40S/2, 60S/2

Polyester silk: a common thread in embroidery. Also known as polyester silk, polyester chemical fiber filament after processing, good gloss, high strength, washing and sun resistance. Color at high temperature. Common specifications of polyester filament: 150D/3, 150D/2

Gold and silver thread: common thread for embroidery. Also known as wire, the outer layer of the wire is covered with a layer of metal film, and the inner layer is composed of rayon or polyester silk. Because of the surface gloss of the thread, designers can create a sparkling embroidery effect; But, at the same time, also bring negative influence for embroider. Because when embroidering, often attrition between embroider needle, embroider line and cloth, produce heat power, at this moment, the young wool of embroider line plays an effect, take heat power away via embroider needle, and the surface layer of metal wire does not take young hair, the heat power of embroider needle still exists, as a result metal film is dissolved by heat power, cause broken line even.

Gold and silver thread (filigree) has a soft texture and gorgeous color. The color of gold and silver thread is rich, including colorful (rainbow), laser, pale gold, deep gold, green gold, silver, gray silver, red, green, blue, purple, snow, black and so on.
Gold and silver thread is widely used in weaving trademarks, yarn, knitted fabric, warp knitted fabric, woven fabric, embroidery, hosiery, accessories, handicrafts, fashion, decorative cloth, necktie, gift packaging and so on.

Sewing thread: also known as PP thread. Family sewing, clothing factory commonly used thread, good strength, rich color. It can also be used for embroidery.

Milk silk: not commonly used embroidery thread, composed of no chemical fiber silk, soft, fluffy texture

Low elastic wire: not commonly used embroidery thread, can be used as the bottom line.

High elastic wire: not commonly used embroidery thread

Fabric
Water soluble cloth: water soluble lace must use fabric, also known as water soluble paper, non-woven fabric. Made of plant fiber processed by a variety of processes, easy to be affected by moisture, after being affected by moisture, it is easy to appear “shift” for embroidery (machine embroidery occurs when the stitch is offset from the design position, so that the lace can not cover the bottom of the needle, dropped thread, dispersion, deformation and other quality problems). Water soluble cloth in water, heating water temperature more than 80℃ water soluble cloth will begin to dissolve in water, so that only embroidery on water soluble cloth lace, this kind of lace is called water soluble lace.

Water-soluble cloth commonly used specifications: 45 grams, 40 grams, 38 grams, 25 grams (for interlining).

Transparent net: net commonly used for embroidery. Interlining cloth is needed for embroidery. Feel lubricated, light and thin, the mesh is in the shape of small edge of six sides, the color is lighter than the lace when dyeing, high and low temperature can be colored. Mesh tension is not very strong, embroidery and finalize the design do not pay attention to it is possible to appear small hole.

Hexagonal mesh: commonly used mesh for embroidery. Interlining cloth is needed for embroidery. Feel soft, hexagonal mesh, according to the size of mesh can be divided into: small hexagonal mesh, large hexagonal mesh, according to the different material can be divided into: polyester hexagonal mesh, nylon hexagonal mesh. Polyester hexagonal net relatively hard hand, high temperature color, cheap price. Nylon hexagonal net relatively feel more soft, room temperature can be colored, but the price is high. Pay attention not to polyester hexagonal network and nylon hexagonal network, otherwise very troublesome.

Finalize the net: The fixed yarn net is also known as the fixed yarn flower net. The hand cloth is thick and woven. Each has the characteristics of six-eye cloth, quality, and gram weight of each unit. , Stereotypes are also divided into polyester and nylon.

Polyester mesh: Polyester mesh is also called polyester mesh, hexagonal small mesh. Need to add interlining when embroidering. Embroidered mesh is not often used.

Stair net: The mesh is large and trapezoidal, and interlining is required when embroidering. Embroidered mesh is not often used.

Cogan yarn:Weaving root yarn crystal yarn, press yarn. The daffodil is commonly used in netting, and there is generally no need to add interlining when weaving. The other half of the warp is slender chemical fibers, like glass cloth, it is densely woven with yarn and weft yarns, and it feels smooth and transparent. The density of weaving can be divided into 34, 36, 42 and so on. You don’t notice the horribly large needles appearing when knitting.

Seersucker: Light to the touch, soft and bubbly crepe. There are soft, loose, printed and color bars. Wear the color of textile fibers, do not need ironing after washing, there are cotton, there are refined fibers or ironing and spinning.

Cotton: Commonly used fabrics for embroidery. Cotton cloth is a woven fabric made of cotton yarn. It has the advantage of easy warmth, soft fit, moisture absorption, and good breath ability. The disadvantage is that it is easy to shrink and wrinkle, and the appearance is not very crisp and beautiful, and it must be ironed frequently when wearing. The specifications and characteristics of cotton cloth mainly refer to yarn count, density, width, weight and length. Yarn count refers to the thickness of the warp and weft yarns of the fabric, which is expressed as the number of warp yarns (count) × the number of weft yarns (count). Density refers to the number of warp yarns or weft yarns per 10cm length of the fabric. The density of the fabric is directly related to its strength, elasticity, feel, thinness, water permeability, etc. Generally, the warp and weft density of cotton fabrics is about 100-600 in the range. The width refers to the distance between the two sides of the fabric. The width of the finished cotton fabric is generally 74-91cm, and the width is 112-167.5cm. Weight refers to the weight per unit area of ​​the fabric, which is called the weight of square meters. Generally, the weight of square meters is an assessment item for its gray fabrics, but it is often used as the main basis for the valuation of finished products when trading externally. Generally, the weight of cotton fabrics is about 70-300g/ m2. The length of the fabric depends on the use, thickness, package size and variety. The cotton exports generally have fixed lengths (30 yards, 42 yards, 60 yards) and random rice (yards). Cotton can be colored at room temperature. Common embroidery specifications are: 88*64, 90*88

T/C cloth: commonly known as really cool. Embroidery commonly used fabrics. T is the meaning of TERYLENE polyester, C is the meaning of COTTON cotton. Polyester and cotton blended fabric

Leather: mainly used for appliqué embroidery.

Velvet: Mainly used for appliqué embroidery.
Satin cloth: mainly used for appliqué embroidery.

Hot-melt film: The use of hot-melt film is roughly the same as that of 25g water-soluble cloth. It is used as an embroidery interlining (auxiliary material) to ensure the quality (wrinkling, damage, deformation, wool, etc.) of light and thin fabrics during the embroidery process. Use heat to dissolve, such as a roller heat press or an iron. The advantage of this process is that it not only does not affect the pattern, but also achieves the effect of shaping and ironing, so that the pattern is flat and beautiful, and no lining is left intuitively. The disadvantage is that if the dyeing process is carried out, the sol crumbs that are not completely dissolved by the heat will appear when they are pressed by the embroidery needle or small needle step.

Paper Park: Also known as interlining paper, it stabilizes the stitches and improves the smoothness of the embroidery. Cut Park: Cut off the nature Park, usually used as a backing, after the embroidery is completed, the remaining part can be cut off. Tear-off: It is a thinner paper than cut-off. After embroidery, the excess part can be torn off at will.
