Jacquard embroidery

~ Embroidery with Jacquard type embroidery machine ~

Jacquard is a type of opening device used for looms. It was named after its’ inventor, Jacquard. Jacquard looms commonly use paper so they are referred to as stitch weaving machines.

The earliest embroidery machines use the same principle as Jacquard’s device, reading holes in a patterned crest paper guiding a needle to raise and lower a warp, producing cloth. As such, it was referred to as a Jacquard-type embroidery machine.

Nowadays the machine has become electronic but its original given name remains.

This may be because the Jacquard principle is closely related to the electronic system as it was applied to computers. Nowadays, embroidery sewn with an automatic sewing machine (a Jacquard embroidery machine) is called Jacquard embroidery. If you use the multi-head type, you can sew several embroideries at the same time.

However, you need to make sure to sew according to – * . Sometimes it is called Jaguard instead of Jacquard. We have introduced embroidery sewn with the Jacquard machine at our facility.
