Embroidery can be applied to improve esthetic or functional properties of products. However, the expected appearance of the original design may be discarded by unsuitable selected technological parameters of embroidery machine. Thus, the influence of the technological parameters and embroidery thread types on the embroidery geometric parameters and on tension characteristics of embroidery has been investigated in this research.
The research results revealed that the changes in geometry parameters of the designed digital image compared with the ones of actual embroidery samples are dependent on embroidery filling type, stitch density, and thread type. Mechanical testing of the embroidery elements has proved that embroidering influences the decrease in material breaking force and elongation at break compared with their initial tension characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
