5 Common Types of Fabrics According to Weave

In our previous post, it was stated why an embroidery digitizing operator should have enough knowledge about fabrics because it could affect the overall quality of the design of a particular embroidery digitizing job. Since we already have tackled the types of fabrics according to applications, today what we will share to you is the second classification of fabrics commonly used for embroidery digitizing project – the weave.

When we speak of weave, it refers to the pattern used for manufacturing a fabric. Fabric weaves range from plain and simple to artistic and decorative. With so many types of fabrics weave available in the market these days, finding for the most suitable weave for an embroidery digitizing job sometimes is a hassle activity. So to help you in your project, we have here five of the most commonly used fabrics weave for embroidery digitizing.

Plain Weave 

Each filling yarn goes alternately under and over the warp yarns

This is said to be the most common and the simplest of all fabric patterns. Plain weave are very affordable to produce, durable, smooth, at the same time features a tight surface that makes it conducive not just for embroidery digitizing but also for printing of draperies, tablecloths, and upholstery. Fabrics with plain weave are crepe, taffeta, organdy, cotton, calicos, cheesecloth, gingham, percale, voile, and muslin.

Twill Weave 

Three or more shafts; warp or filling floats over two or more counterpart yarns in progressive steps right or left

This is somewhat a keen to plain weave however, it is more durable, more flexible, heavier, and with better resistant against soil and wrinkle. Common applications of this fabric weave are for making upholstery, comforters, and pillows and examples of fabrics with twill weave, you have covert cloth, drill, jean, jersey, velvet, and the likes.

Satin Weave 

Floats one warp yarn over four or more weft yarns, then tied down with one thread, resulting in a smooth face

This type of fabric weave is said to be glossy, with smooth surface, and great drapability. Just like twill weave, this type of fabric weaving is more flexible than plain ones. Satin weaves are commonly used for draperies and quilts and example of fabrics with satin weave are bocade, brocatelle, crepe-satin, peau de soie, velvet satin, etc.

Basket Weave

 Two or more warps simultaneously interlaced with one or more fillings

It is a variation of plain weave. Fabrics are of loose construction and flat look. However, compared to plain weave fabrics, the basket weave is more flexible and stronger but less stable. This particular weave of fabric is commonly used in composites industry as well as in making outerwear, wall hangings, pillows, and draperies. Samples of fabrics with basket weave are oxford and monk’s cloth.

Jacquard Weave 

Warp is individually controlled with each pick passage creating intricate designs

Fabrics with jacquard patterns is a mixture of plain, twill, and satin weaves. Many decorative fabrics are manufactured using jacquard weave. This is one of the best fabrics to weave for an embroidery digitizing artwork because designs do not easily fade or wear out. Brocade and damask are samples of fabrics with jacquard weave and these are commonly used in making upholstery as well as wall hangings.

Types of Fabrics According to Applications

Knowledge on fabrics is another important requirement for embroidery digitizers aside from expertise in using the digitizing software. Fabrics serve as base material of a certain embroidery project and failure to choose the right textile could compromise the overall quality of an embroidered designs. So to help you determine which base material is best for your embroidery project and which is not, we decided to feature here the different types of fabrics that embroidery digitizers could use for a certain job.

Basically, fabrics are classified into four types. You can categorize them according to application, weave, composition, and finish. These four categories of fabrics have also their own subcategories and for the meantime what we will be discussing to you are fabrics under application category.

Fabrics According to Applications

• Furnishing Fabric – These are the fabrics used in making upholstery such as beds, sofa beds, and mattresses.  The bed covers and cushion covers are also part of the furnishing fabric.

• Interlining fabric – Interlining fabric, as the name suggests, is the material sewn at the middle of two separate fabrics for warmth. You can commonly see it between the curtain face fabric and the lining.

• Lingerie fabric – Lingerie fabric is of course the material used for making undergarments such as brassieres, panties, nightgowns, and the likes. The fabric usually incorporates one or more flexible, stretchy materials that are not typically used in more functional, basic cotton undergarment.

• Lining fabric – The fabric is assembled separately and seems to appear as a second garment but its main purpose is to provide the garment with a perfectly smooth inside finish. Jackets, coats, capes are just samples of that often come with lining fabric.

• Polar fleece fabric – It is usually made from PET plastic or other synthetic fibers. Polar fleece fabric is typically used when making outerwear because it actively keeps the moisture away from the body.

• Shirting fabric – This is the most ideal fabric for making shirts, blouses, and pajamas. And similar to other fabrics under applications, shirtings come in several types like poplin, oxford, etc.

• Suiting fabric – This is the best material used for tailoring suit. Though most suiting fabric comes from natural fibers, synthetic fibers are also used.

• Stretch fabric – Synthetic fabrics that stretch are called stretch fabric. The fabric evolved using from the scientific effort to make fibers using neoprene and it is commonly used nowadays in making swimwear, delicate laces, slacks, sportswear, and support hose.

With these samples of fabrics, hopefully, you will now how have an idea which base material is ideal for your custom digitizing project.

Free-Motion Machine Embroidery vs Computerized Machine Embroidery

The surviving examples of ancient embroidered products, which are now displayed in national museums, is enough justification that people have been into embroidery for decades. Embroidery is the art of decorating a plain fabric or other materials using needle and thread.  During the early centuries, the process of creating design out of combined stitches was done by hands. But when industrial revolution came, machine embroidery was introduced then. Machine embroidery is a much improved process of stitching designs on textiles. It is basically categorized into two types – the free-motion machine embroidery and the computerized machine embroidery. On this post, DigitPlace will discuss to you how free-motion embroidery and computerized embroidery differs in terms of stitching a design.

In free-motion machine embroidery, you don’t need an expensive sewing machine in order to create a custom embroidered the design. The basic zigzag sewing machine that is primarily used for tailoring, coupled with a backing plate and an embroidery hoop, is enough for embroiderers to form artistic design on base material. Embroiderers too do not need any pattern in order to produce an embroidered design. They can design anything they wish and change the thread color whenever they want. The common stitch type being used in free-motion embroidery is running stitch. But they can also create a filled-in effect by sewing several parallel rows of straight stitching and utilizing the machine’s zigzag stitch to create thicker lines within a design or a border. Another good thing about free-motion embroidery is the designs are uniquely created.

Meanwhile in computerized machine embroidery, embroiders use a computer-controlled machine for embroidery. The operator for computerized machine embroidery no longer need an embroidery hoop because the equipment itself already comes with a hooping or framing system that will keep the framed area taut under the sewing needle. Aside from using more advanced equipment, this type of machine embroidery process requires the operator produce a design that comes in stitch format. Thus, the expertise of an embroidery digitizer is very important.  And if there are things that make computerized embroidery better than free-motion embroidery, the operator can create intricate designs in a faster turnaround time. Computer-controlled embroidery machine usually consists of 20 or more heads and each head has 15 or more needles thus, a single head can produce several special fabric effects concurrently. Not to mention the availability of pre-programmed digital embroidery pattern that enables the embroiderer to reproduce the same design on different fabric anytime he/she wants.

Tips on Creating Quality Embroidered Logo

samples of DigitPlace's digitized logos

For a person to create a quality custom embroidered logo, there are a number of things he or she should have to learn. The very first step is how to create a digitized file for embroidery design. Logos are among the most commonly used designs for embroidery. In this post, DigitPlace will provide you some tips on how to set up a good quality custom embroidered logo on a fabric or garment.

First and foremost is to choose your desired design. You can find so many custom logos online, which you can use as design for embroidery. In case you really want a personalized logo, there are some logo designers offering designing services online. You can contact them and request for their designing service. Once you already have your preferred design for embroidery (which is in standard image file format like jpeg, bitmap, png, etc), the next thing you need to do is to convert it to a computerized embroidery format. Modern embroidery machines or computer-controlled embroidery machines require a specific file format in order to stitch the design and that is none other than but digitized or stitch file.

The process of transforming your logo (which is intended for) into a digital file (render in thread onto a fabric) is what we refer to as logo digitizing. Digitizing the logo is a very important process in computerized embroidery because it simplifies the job of an embroiderer when stitching designs, especially intricate designs. In logo digitizing, a computer design software is needed in order to accomplish the task. This design software comes in different types and it is the responsibility of an embroidery digitizer to properly select the best design program that is compatible to the computerized embroidery machine. It is vital to consider the compatibility of the digitizing software and computerized embroidery machine because it can significantly affect the quality of the custom embroidered logo.

Aside from design creation, another important thing that you should watch out for is thread and fabric selection. Producing a digitized file that is compatible to the computerized embroidery machine will be nothing if the embroiderer is unable to select the right thread and fabric to be used in setting up the design. Some threads work best on heavy fabrics but could create poor quality designs when used in fluffy or silky textile.

By putting those important things in your mind when doing logo digitizing job, you will definitely be on your way to creating good quality designs for embroidery.

What is Embroidery Digitising

Even before computers are introduced in the embroidery industry, embroiderers are already stitching designs with intricate pattern. They do it through a process called punch needle embroidery, an old needle art done by punching Before computers became affordable, embroiderers  most embroidery was done by punching designs on the paper tape (also called as punched tape), which will be ran through and embroidery machine.

Creating designs through punch needle embroidery is very painstaking because a single error could ruin the entire design and allows the embroiderer to start all over again. Fortunately, Wilcom introduced the first computer graphics embroidery design system in 1980 and this brings in a number of innovations in the embroidery industry. One of them is of course the discovery of embroidery digitising, which is very popular nowadays.

So what is embroidery digitising? Well, it is a process of converting the original image/text, which will serve as embroidery design, into digital data or stitch. This converted file is very important in the overall operation of the computerized embroidery machine since it is the one that determines the needle penetrations, color changes, stitch characteristics, start and stop points, etc.

For a person to produce a good quality digitized file, a computer software meant for embroidery digitizing is very much needed. This digitising software (also spelled as digitizing software) is equipped with a number of tool programs essential for converting analog designs for embroidery to stitch files. The embroidery digitising software, just like any other computer design programs, requires the user to have an artist’s talent as he or she is expected to deal with a lot of experimentation such as but not limited to finding the right combination of layers, patterns, colors, and shadowing effects for a particular embroidery design. Aside from that, the embroidery digitizer should also be a good embroiderer or knows how to select fabric types, needles and machine because a good quality digitized file for embroidery will be useless if it will be set up on an incompatible materials or equipment.
