Small, slender piece of steel with a hole for thread and a point for
stitching fabric. Machine embroidery needles come in sharp-points
for piercing heavy, tightly woven fabric; ball-points, which glide
between the fibers of knits; and a variety of specialty points such as
wedge-points, used for leather.
Punching term, similar to jump, whereby pantograph movement does
not entail needle penetration.
Disk format for storing and retrieving designs which allows for global
(automatically changes density, size, stitch width, stitch count in a
single operation) changes within that design.
Use the outline processor to modify designs by adjusting their stitch
count and other settings. The outline processor allows you to set a
target stitch count (absolute or percentage) and the software
automatically adjusts the values of settings such as Satin density,
Tatami density, Fill stitch length, Run stitch length, Fill density, and
Underlay density.
There are two modes for processing designs. In the standard mode,
the values of all settings are modified by the same proportion. In
advanced mode, the system modifies each setting value by different
percentages in an effort to keep the overall stitch quality as close to
the original design as possible.
Holding device for frames and frame sash which controls movement
of embroidery fabric in the X-and-Y directions, to create your
embroidery design while needle remains stationary.
Continuous roll of paper or mylar tape defining x and y coordinate
information through the use of punched holes. Paper Tape has been
almost completely replaced by computer disks.
