The thread commonly used is polyester or rayon. It weighs about 40wt. Like any sewing machine, the embroidery machine has a bobbin and a spool placed inside the hook to form the stitches. Other non-woven textiles, like the backing and stabilizer, are added to provide support and stability to the material during stitching, which lead to a more enhanced outcome. Embroidery machines also perform different stitches such as the fill, running, satin and underlay stitches.

With these high-tech machines, you can choose your own design and add lettering or dates to an event. Once the design is entered into the machine, you can adjust its size to fit into the garment. Then the Computer transfers the design to the machine for stitching.
