Professional Computerized embroidery machines are specialized machines that can create embroidery from computerized designs.
Such machines exist for the home market, for the small independent professional and for mass production.

The computer directly controls several different motors, which precisely move the needle bar, the tensioning discs, the feed dog and other elements in the machine.
The computer drives the motors at just the right speed to move the needle bar up and down and from side to side in a particular stitch pattern.
These machines have a motorized work area that holds the fabric in place underneath the needle assembly.
They also have a series of sensors that tell the computer how all of the machine components are positioned.
The sewer simply loads a pattern from memory or creates an original one, and the computer does almost everything else.

It can be argued that computer-controlled embroidery machines are older than computers, i.e. models made between the two WWs used punched paper ribbons for control.
Before computers were affordable, most embroidery was completed by punching designs on paper tape that then ran through an embroidery machine. One error could ruin an entire design, forcing the creator to start over.
(So in the old days I would have been a PUNCHER!!)

According to Wikipedia and other sources, the first modern day computer controlled sewing machine was built by Orisol in 1987 for making shoes, i.e. much later than embroidery machines.

The colour blue

So ,, what does a logo embroidery digitizer talk about?

Do we talk about stitches…&…threads….&….needles….&…materials? Do we talk about a new sewing project?
Do we talk about the latest gorgeous baby design viagra a baby towel? Or do we talk about a superb Christmas table runner with mistletoe embroidery in each corner?

Not this one! No way!

This one never considered herself a ‘crafty’ person.
She’s more interested in a well put together design, she’s into detail and she admires quality workmanship.

Her background is in manufacturing jewellery.
She’s more into the how and why, rather than the beauty of the finished product.
Yes, the technical aspects fascinate her. Why do diamonds sparkle more? Why is 14ct gold a better alloy?

Well , ok, we’ll get back on track.
So ,, what does a logo embroidery digitizer talk about?

This one talks about the colour blue.
We’re talking here about blue dye in embroidery cotton threads.

It was this dye, the color sapphire blue that became one of the rarest and most costly of dyes to be obtained in the ancient world.
It was known to come from the gland of a snail (murex trunculus) in the Mediterranean.
Out of it came the royal purple and the royal blue.
It was also this blue dye that was used to dye the blue cord on each tzitzit, which was the hem or fringe of the prayer shawls of the Hebrews as commanded by HaShem.

Dr. Ari Greenspan noted, “We take the gland out of the snail.  As soon as the gland is exposed to oxygen, the liquid in that gland undergoes a fascinating chemical transformation from a clear liquid to a yellow, to a green, a greenish blue, aquamarine, then blue and ultimately ends up a dark purple.”

Greenspan goes on to describe the rest of the process wherein the purple liquid is dried and then ground into a powder.  By exposing this new compound to sunlight, the blue described in the ancient Jewish sources is achieved.

“The molecules of any specific color can be measured in exact wavelengths.
This measurement is read in increments called nanometers.
When the molecules of the blue color called Tekhelet, extracted from the murex trunculus snail are measured, the reading peaks at exactly 613 nanometers.
What a marvelous coincidence that this number matches the total number of commandments in the Torah, written by the finger of God in sky-blue sapphire.”

Fascinating; this colour blue, wouldnt you agree?
