Tips and Principles to Follow for Digitizing on Terry Cloth

Embroidering on terry cloth can be a unique challenge due to the fabric's thickness and density. However, with the right techniques and principles, embroidering on terry cloth can produce stunning and durable results. In this article, we will discuss some key techniques and principles to follow for digitizing on terry cloth. Eagle Digitizing offers digitizing services that can assist with this process.

To produce quality goods on terry cloth, digitizers should follow a few basics.

First, using Rayon thread instead of Polyester is preferred for both run ability and the lifespan of the embroidery itself.

Second, using solvy, a water-soluble plastic film, allows for more detail to be seen in designs and is a must at the production level.

Lastly, a tear-away backing is advisable for stability, but cut-away and solvy can also be used in certain circumstances.

When digitizing designs for towels and terry cloth, it is important to keep in mind specific values that are required for this fabric type.

l  Increasing the density on column and fill stitches by about 10% to 20% from standard goods

l  Increasing pull compensation values to counteract the thickness and pile of the fabric.

l  Zig-zag underlay is also advisable to help mat down the terry cloth and maintain clean edges on thicker columns over 3mm.

It is also important to note that with the increasing popularity of single-head and home embroidery machines, individual personalization of products using monogramming and keyboard lettering name drops has become a profitable market. To achieve quality results on terry cloth, it is recommended to use lettering and editing software that has specific values for this fabric type.

In conclusion, embroidering on terry cloth requires careful consideration of thread, underlay, pull compensation, density, and backing. By following these techniques and principles, you can produce high-quality embroidery products on terry cloth.
