The Importance of Testing Embroidery Tapes Before Starting Embroidery
If you are looking for embroidery digitizing services and planning to embroider on specific fabrics, testing the tape before embroidery is crucial. Testing the tape can help you determine the appropriate density and stitch technique, ensuring the best quality and appearance for your final embroidery product.
What is a tape in digitizing?
A tape refers to a file containing the
digital information required by embroidery machines to stitch out an embroidery
design. This tape, also known as a digital embroidery file, is created by a
digitizing software that converts a design or artwork into a stitch file format
that can be read by the embroidery machine. The tape contains information about
the stitch type, stitch direction, stitch length, and stitch density that are
required to embroider the design accurately on the chosen fabric. The tape is
loaded into the embroidery machine, which then reads and follows the
information in the tape to stitch out the design. Therefore, the tape is a
critical component of the embroidery digitizing process, ensuring the embroidery
design is stitched out precisely and efficiently on the fabric.
If you don't test the tape before embroidery, you may encounter the following issues:
1.Poor appearance of embroidery: If you
don't test the tape on specific fabrics, it may result in poor appearance of
your final embroidery product. For example, high density or improper stitch
technique may cause thread breakage or distortion of the embroidery.
2.Poor stability of embroidery: If you don't test the tape, you may find that the stability of your embroidery is poor, especially for some fabrics. If the density is too low or the stitch technique is improper, it may cause thread pull-out or the entire embroidery to lose stability, which will cause the embroidery to become damaged or fall off during washing or wearing.
3.Cost and time wastage: If you don't test the tape before embroidery, you may waste a lot of cost and time because you may need to redo digitizing and make samples. This will result in additional costs and delay the project timeline.
