When referring to machine embroidery, there are basically two types: Computerized Machine Embroidery and Free Motion Embroidery. Both types of machine embroidery offer advantages and challenges, but very different results. Computerized Machine Embroidery uses a sewing machine that has the capability of having a design imported into it’s memory, and the sewing is controlled by the machine. When using a computerized embroidery machine, you must first acquire your design. These can be purchased, either in the form of a downloadable file on the internet, or from design collections can be purchased on an input device such as a CD or proprietary card used on the machine. An embroidery machine uses a hoop to secure the fabric in place while the design is being stitched. A layer of stabilizing material is used underneath the fabric to give it body, and is secured with the fabric into the hoop. Select stabilizer based on the type of fabric you are using. Many kinds are available, and a knowledgeable salesperson can help you choose the right one. The operator chooses the color threads to be used, and as one color section is complete, the machine will pause while the thread color is changed. All action is controlled by the machine. When all the stitching is complete, the hoop is removed from the machine, and the fabric removed from the hoop. The stabilizer on the underside will then be trimmed off. The stabilizer should be trimmed as close to the stitching as possible. Any finish work is ready to be done. Free Motion Embroidery uses a standard sewing machine and all elements of the process is controlled by the user. A darning foot is used when this type of embroidery. This allows the needle to move freely, while the fabric movement and speed of stitching is controlled by the operator. In free motion embroidery, the design is being stitched 'free hand'. This technique lends a painterly quality to the work. The operator has chosen a design and is, quite literally, painting with thread. This method requires skill and practice, and the end products are one of a kind. Creativity is the key here. If one is planning on producing multiples of a design, or wants the ability to replicate a design at a future date, computerized machine embroidery is required. There will be no difference in size, stitch count, or density of stitches. If, on the other hand, the operator wants creative control, then free motion embroidery will allow the individual to create a one of a kind piece that will never be duplicated exactly.
