Embroidery is the embellishment of fabric or garments with a decorative design made up of from a series of stitches. Where as traditionally this was done by hand, now embroidery work is done using computerized machines.
Using a framing/hooping system, the garment material is held tight (with a piece of bio-degradable backing material behind it) and clamped underneath the needles. The machine then gives a set of instructions to the needles, which move up and down, penetrating the fabric with thread, and resulting in the final embroidered logo.
Each machine has a series of 'Heads/stations' which determines how many garments can be embroidered at one time. Our overall capacity enables us to embroider between 5000-10,000 units per week. Each head contains up to 15 different needles, meaning that each embroidered design can incorporate up to 15 different coloured threads. This means that quite complex, multi-coloured designs can be achieved.
