Applique 贴布绣- A separate, pre-cut piece of fabric that is decorated (or decorated and then cut), and applied to another piece of fabric, typically a garment. Appliqués are frequently used to reduce overall embroidery stitch counts, execute reproductions of which embroidery is incapable (such as continuous-tone printing) and decorate substrates difficult to embroider directly.
Backing 衬背- Typically non-woven material (sometimes referred to by brand name 'Pellon') applied beneath material being sewn to increase fabric stability and support stitches. Available in both tear-away and cut-away styles of various weights, backing is generally hooped with the substrate or otherwise positioned between substrate and embroidery machine throat plate prior to stitching.
梭壳Bobbin - Spool or reel that holds bobbin thread (or 'under thread') in bobbin case. Bobbin thread works with upper thread to create stitches.
Chenille绳绣 - Type of embroidery-commonly found in appliqué and athletic applications-characterized by a design surface comprised of heavy loops of thread; sewn with heavy threads or yarns, chenille is created on specialized embroidery equipment.
Complex fill复合包边 - Similar to standard fill, technique that allows digitizer 'knock out' area(s) within fill, creating openings or negative space (visualize Swiss cheese).
Condensed format 紧凑排版- Digital design-storage format that allows for less limited (than expanded format) enlargement or reduction in size, scale, stitch length and density in a digitized design (within stitch-type limitations), due to proportional number of stitches being placed between pre-defined points, rather than individual stitches being assigned specific sizes; may not be read by all embroidery machines (see also expanded format).
Hook or rotary hook 旋梭- A circular device which spins around the bobbin case with a pointed arm protruding from its body-the hook; is instrumental, in concert with the needle and upper thread, in forming stitches.
Hook timing旋梭计时 - Proper synchronization of hook's rotary and needle's up/down movement; necessary to form stitches.
Hoop or frame 框架- Device used to stabilize the fabric in that area of substrate to be embroidered; typically composed of two concentric, wood or plastic rings, the inner of which fits tightly within the outer-with the fabric in between-stabilizing the fabric and holding it in close contact with the machine bed during embroidery.
Lock stitch锁针 - Sometimes referred to as a tack or lock-down stitch, it is typically found at the conclusion of elements such as fills and columns, or prior to color changes or stop points. Needle机针 - Slender piece of steel with a point, ball, taper or other shape on one end-to facilitate penetration of various fabric types-and a nearby hole (or eye) for thread to pass through.
Nippers 镊子 - Small, scissors-like cutting tool specifically designed for thread trimming, during finishing of embroidery.
Running stitch跑针 - Sometimes called 'walking' stitch, used for fine detail, outlining, and quickly covering space between separate design elements; used primarily for underlay.
SPM每分钟下针数 - Stitches-per-minute measurement used to rate embroidery machine production speed.
Satin stitch 包针绣- Closely spaced stitches, similar to zigzag, except that they alternate between straight stitches and angled stitches (rather than all angled) of varying length, angle and density.
Scaling 缩放比例- Proportionately enlarging or reducing all elements in a digitized design.
Scanner扫描仪 - Means of converting artwork-either transmissive or reflective-into digital format, to then be further digitized or edited via computer.
Special fill 特殊包边- A function available in some digitizing software that automatically incorporates special patterns or textures into fill areas.
Stitch editing 针脚编辑- The alteration of one or more stitches in an embroidery design, accomplished as a function of digitizing or editing.
Tension张力- Proper top- and under-thread tension is critical in the correct formation of stitches (in some cases, adequate tension may be quickly assessed by examining the underside of an embroidery and observing a 1:2 ratio of bobbin thread to top thread).
Zigzag Z型行进 - Stitches that progress in an alternating-angle (zigzag) fashion; typically used for final stitching on appliqué and tackle twill.
