Paint and image-editing software such as Corel Photo-Paint and
Adobe PhotoShop generate bitmap images, also called raster
images. Each pixel in a bitmap image has a specific location and
color value assigned to it. Bitmap images reproduce the subtle
shading found in continuous-tone images, such as photographs.
Bitmap images are resolution dependent. They represent a fixed
number of pixels; as a result, they can lose detail and appear jagged
if they are scaled on-screen.
Schiffli term meaning to feed more yarn, therefore producing a long
zig-zag stitch with threads laying close together. Adapted for multi-
head use: See also Satin Stitch.
Bleeding occurs when stitching falls between the fibres of the fabric
and "bleed" into the fabric, resulting in the loss of a crisp outline for
the design.
Spool or reel that holds the bobbin thread, which helps form stitches
on the underside of the fabric.
A production process in which a sharp-pointed instrument or laser
punctures, or bores, the fabric. This is followed by stitches being
inserted around the opening to enclose the raw edges, while leaving
a bordered hole.
Type of embroidery machine with heads suspended from a bridge or
beam, allowing the pantograph a wider range of movement from
front to back (Y-axis) of the machine table.
Coarse woven fabric, stiffened with glue, used to stabilize fabric for
stitching. Commonly used in caps to hold the front panel erect.
