<strong>Embroidery</strong> / Digitizing Glossary - 123Digitizing about:reader?url=http://www.123digitizing.com/embroidery-digitizing-gl... 7 of 8 10/28/2016 12:11 AM altered. Stitch Processing The calculation of stitch information by means of specialized software, allowing scaling of expanded format designs with density compensation. A trademarked software feature developed by Wilcom Pty. of Australia. Stock Designs Digitized generic embroidery designs that are readily available at a cost below that of custom-digitized designs. Swatch A stitched out sample of an embroidery design used for inspection, comparison, construction, color, finish and sales purposes. Tackle Twill Letters or numbers cut from polyester or rayon twill fabric that are commonly used for athletic teams and organizations. Tackle twill appliqués attached to a garment have an adhesive backing that tacks them in place; the edges of the appliqués are then zigzag stitched. Tearaway One of two basic types of backing materials. Another type is Cutaway. Tension Tautness of thread when forming stitches. Top thread tension, as well as bobbin thread tension, needs to be set and balanced. Proper thread tension is achieved when about one-third of the thread showing on the underside of the fabric on a column stitch is bobbin thread. Thread Fine cord of natural or synthetic material made from two or more filaments twisted together and used for stitching. Machine embroidery threads come in rayon, which has a high sheen; cotton, which has a duller finish than rayon but is available in very fine deniers; polyester, which is strong and colorfast; metallic thread, which have a high luster and are composed of a synthetic core wrapped in metal foil; and acrylic, which is purported to have rayon's sheen. Thread Clippers Small cutting utensil with a spring action that is operated by the thumb in a hole on the top blade and the fingers cupped around the bottom blade. Useful for quick thread cutting, but unsuitable for detailed trimming or removal of backing. Topping Also known as facing. Material hooped or placed on top of fabrics that have definable nap or surface texture, such as corduroy and terry cloth, prior to embroidery. The topping compacts the wale or nap and holds the stitches above it. Includes a variety of substances, such as plastic wrap, water-soluble plastic “foil” and open-weave fabric that has been chemically treated to disintegrate with the application of heat. Trimming Operation in the finishing process that involves trimming the reverse and top sides of the embroidery, including jump stitches and backing.

Variable Sizing Ability to scale a design to different sizes. Zigzag Stitches that progress in an alternating-angle (zigzag) fashion; typically used for final stitching on appliqué and tackle twill.
