Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lace embroidery technology and relates to a method for embroidering three-dimensional lace. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional embroidery has a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations. This craft typically involves hand-embroidering patterns and designs using needle and thread. Despite its unique beauty, traditional embroidery faces challenges such as low production efficiency, long processing times, and limitations imposed by skill, which restricts its application in modern mass production.
[0003] With the rapid development of computer technology, the embroidery industry has also begun to benefit from the digital revolution. The emergence of CNC embroidery machines is a major breakthrough; they use computer programs to control the embroidery machine, thereby achieving automated production of complex designs. This technology has transformed the embroidery industry, improving production efficiency and quality. One of the background technologies of computerized embroidery is digital design. Designers can use computer software to create precise embroidery patterns, and even convert photographs or images into embroidery designs. Digital design not only provides greater creative freedom but also enables the generation of diverse products in a short time.
[0004] As consumer spending upgrades and aesthetic appreciation for embroidery increases, the flat, traditional computer-embroidered lace can no longer meet consumer demands. Three-dimensional lace, presented in a three-dimensional form, gives fabrics a unique texture and visual appeal, making people feel as if they are in a garden, experiencing the beauty of nature. Embroidered handicrafts with three-dimensional lace, with their unique style and elegant appearance, make fabrics more noble and distinctive.
[0005] Traditional computer embroidery techniques rarely include embroidery of three-dimensional lace, and the problem of embroidering three-dimensional lace urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and provide a method for embroidering three-dimensional lace.
[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following methods:
[0008] This invention provides a method for embroidering three-dimensional lace, the method comprising the following steps:
[0009] S1. Use computer embroidery software to create a pattern, and use the flat over stitch method to create a single stitch for the pattern.
[0010] S2. Make a pattern on both sides of the inner edge of the stitch pattern, and use the flat wrap stitch method to form two fixed stitches to fix the surface line, forming a stitch pattern strip;
[0011] S3. Input the stitch pattern tape obtained in step S2 into the embroidery machine, and prepare fabric and embroidery thread with embroidery pattern. Embroider the inner edge of the embroidery pattern, and then cover part of the stitch pattern tape with the outer edge of the embroidery pattern and fix it with embroidery thread to obtain the embroidered piece.
[0012] S4. Remove the bottom line of the large stitch on the back of the embroidery piece that is far from the embroidery pattern; pull out the top line of the stitch pattern from the front of the embroidery piece to form a three-dimensional lace.
[0013] As one embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the computer embroidery software includes any one of Tajima, Barinda, PersTajima, Wilcom, Ambrosial, Sanor, and Richpeace.
[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the width of the stitch pattern is 0.8-2cm.
[0015] Furthermore, the width of the stitch pattern is 1.2 cm.
[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the length of the stitch pattern and the length of the fixed stitch are the same.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the distance between the fixed stitch and the edge of the stitch plate is 0.5-1mm.
[0018] As one embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the embroidery pattern includes at least one of the following: floral pattern, portrait pattern, and pet pattern.
[0019] Furthermore, the embroidery pattern is a floral design.
[0020] As one embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the fixing stitch lines in the embroidery piece include large-scale fixing stitch lines away from the embroidery pattern and large-scale fixing stitch lines close to the embroidery pattern.
[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the fixed stitches are embroidered to obtain the bottom thread and top thread on the fixed stitches. In the present invention, the stitch pattern line on the front of the embroidery piece is the top thread, including the top thread on the stitch pattern and the top thread on the fixed stitches; the stitch pattern line on the back of the embroidery piece is the bottom thread, including the bottom thread on the stitch pattern and the bottom thread on the fixed stitches.
[0022] Furthermore, adjust the top thread to the loosest possible position and the bottom thread to a suitable tightness.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the stitch tape surrounds the inner circle of the embroidery pattern, and the outer circle of the embroidery pattern covers part of the stitch tape. The purpose of using the outer circle of the embroidery pattern to press down part of the stitch tape is to prevent the stitches from coming loose later.
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the distance between the outer circle of the embroidery pattern and the stitch line of the small needle close to the embroidery pattern is 1.5-3mm.
[0025] Furthermore, the distance between the outer edge of the embroidery pattern and the stitch line of the small needle close to the embroidery pattern is 2.5mm.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] (1) The lace produced by the embroidery process of the present invention is three-dimensional, which solves the defect that the traditional computer embroidery process cannot produce three-dimensional lace.
[0028] (2) In the three-dimensional lace embroidery process of the present invention, the front thread of the embroidery piece does not need to be cut, but only needs to be pulled out, so that the three-dimensional effect of the lace is more natural.
[0029] (3) The embroidery process of the present invention involves embroidering the inner edge of the embroidery pattern, and then covering the outer edge of the embroidery pattern with a portion of the stitch pattern tape and fixing it with embroidery thread, thereby avoiding the thread from coming loose later and improving the stability of the three-dimensional effect of the lace.
