An embroidery machine is a mechanical or computerized device designed to create detailed designs, patterns, and text on fabric. It automates the embroidery process with precision using needles, threads, and pre-programmed patterns. These machines are commonly utilized in the fashion, branding, and textile industries for decorative stitching.
The primary types of embroidery machines include flat bed embroidery machines, multi-needle embroidery machines, single-needle embroidery machines, and commercial embroidery machines. Flat bed embroidery machines have a flat surface for fabric placement, making them well-suited for larger projects such as apparel and home textiles. The technologies used in embroidery machines encompass computerized embroidery machines, manual embroidery machines, and digital embroidery machines. These machines are applied across various industries, including textiles, fashion, home decor, and promotional products.
