A Little History
Machine embroidery dates from the early 1800s with the first machines being hand guided and foot driven. The first multi needle machine was around 1823 in Switzerland. Hand guided embroidery can still be seen in some Asian countries.
By 1911 the multi headed pantogragh guided machine had been introduced and this design was very common till the late 1960s.
Electronic control of machines was introduced in the 1970s using punched tape to control movements (hence the term used for making embroidery programmes "punching"). With the introduction of computers in the 1980s the modern embroidery machine was born and little has changed in the basic design since.
Attempts have been made to make machines self threading using compressed air. Various devices for detecting sewing or thread faults have been also tried but the basic machine remains the same with the only major improvements being machine reliability and stitching speed.
The Art Of Embroidery
(Under Construction)
We have always tried to give the best embroidery at a competitive price, together with prompt delivery and friendly service.We do not attempt to cheapen the product by reducing stitches, using cheap thread or not using backing. Those sorts of savings are minimal in the overall costs of running an embroidery business. Inferior embroidery or poor placement of the embroidery can spoil the presentation of your garment which, we feel, is the most important thing.Embroidery will last many years and should be considered a long term investment.
