Embroidery digitization is the converting of digital files to formats that are decipherable by embroidery machines. Thus, graphics are translated into three-dimensional results. Sleeve embroidery, a type of embroidery digitization, gives an opportunity for further innovations to bring dull fabric to life. Adding an elevated design on the otherwise plain surface of the fabric poses a pleasing impact on the user.
What Is Sleeve Embroidery?
Sleeve Digitizing is the introduction of embroideries on the sleeves of clothing. The process usually entails intricate designing that, if executed correctly, enhances the overall fabric. It adds a sense of belonging to the shirt without taking excessive space. This permits the introduction of negative space on the front and back of the shirt. However, this depends on the designing technique being applied that is either minimalistic or supports filling designs. Sleeve embroidery, if executed accurately, raises the value of the product, thus raising its life and the volume of sales.
Sleeve Embroidery by Hand
The conventional way of embroidering fabrics is by hand. Although this results in engaging products but is time-consuming. A wooden frame is used to avoid stretching the fabric. This ensures that the stitches result in an embroidery identical to the one demanded.
Machine Sleeve Embroidery
With the advancing technology, conventional methods are being
replaced by modern ones. Similarly, machine digitization entails less effort
than a manual one. Thus, the key to genius digitizing is the usage of machinery
wherever possible to achieve a clean result. Mandatory steps involved in sleeve
digitization include:
1.
A template is
obtained for embroidery. A stitch file conveyed from graphic formats is used
for this purpose. It gives an outline of the base design that the embroidery is
to be done on. A clear template results in a neat product.
2.
The sleeve embroidery designs are printed
on a piece called a stabilizer. Various types of stabilizers are available in
the market and are categorized by their permanency. Permanent ones are stitched
upside down on the fabric to conceal it. However, temporary stabilizers are
preferred as they can be washed away from the fabric leaving only the embroidery
behind. This enhances the wearing experience immensely.
3.
Crucial
equipment required for the process is gathered. This includes choosing threads,
needles, thread color, and stitching sequence. Dependent on the preferences of
the designer and the demand for clothing, this varies. Thus, apart from the
color and hues, the materiality of clothing also affects the process of
embroidery.
4.
The fabric is fitted so as to avoid any pulling
that may ruin the design.
5. Machines are used to complete the process of embroidering sleeves as per demands.
Customization by Sleeve Embroidery
Sleeve
embroidery is a great way to customize fabrics
without overwhelming the fabric. It adds versatility and uniqueness to the
fabric. Customization permits freedom over the options of embroidering. Not
only does this allow for a high-quality design but gives control over its
durability too. The durability of sleeve designs is dependent upon the strength
of the thread used.
