Technical field
The invention relates to a method of appliqué embroidering. More
particularly, the invention relates to a method of appliqué embroidering
on mash fabric.
Background
Now most underclothes and underpants are made of mash fabric that is
thin and has good gas permeability. Usually the mash fabric is processed
by appliqué embroidering so that the underclothes and underpants can be
more beautiful. Now the method of appliqué embroidering is the
following: the mash fabric is covered with the appliqué cloth, and then
embroidering is carried out simultaneously on both the mash fabric and
the appliqué cloth with an embroidery machine. After that, the extra
appliqué cloth outside the embroidering outline is cut out, and the effect
of appliqué embroidering can be obtained. The shortage of this method is
that the product made by it has few kind of color, with few style and lack
of change, and with little stereoscopic effect. Additionally, the marginal
of the pieces of appliqué is not seamed with embroidery thread,
exposed on the marginal of the embroidery are the cutting edges of the
appliqué cloth. The thread is easy to come off or easy to be drawn off.
Moreover, the outline of the appliqué is cut out by hand and easy to be
left with different amount of appliqué cloth, which results in the whole
quality falling. All mentioned above can affect the beauty of the
underclothes and underpants.
Disclosure of the invention
The aim of the invention is to provide a method of appliqué
embroidering on mash fabric, the pieces of appliqué are prepared at
different time with single embroidery machine, each piece of appliqué
with different pattern, different color and made of different material. The
mash fabric processed by this method can obtain strong stereoscopic
effect.
The method to realize the aim of the invention is as follows:
a) pieces of appliqué are prepared according to predetermined
appliqué pattern; b) the mash fabric to be embroidered is covered with water-soluble
paper or cloth and put on an embroidery machine, and then
embroidered; c) the mash fabric of step b is embroidered with the outlines of the
pieces of appliqué prepared in step a; d) the pieces of appliqué prepared in step a are placed inside the
outlines embroidered in step c and embroidered or their marginal are
seamed with an embroidery machine; e) the mash fabric embroidered undergoes afterwards process.
The embroidery machines mentioned above can be that of shuttle or
of multi-head machine, and the pieces of appliqué can be prepared by
cutting out materials, such as cloth, leather, pierces of plastic, band, knit
band, fabric article, sponge article, metal article, crystal article etc., by
hand or by a cutter. The manners of embroidering by the machines can be
forming embroidery, coiling up a rope or cutting an eyelet etc., the
said embroidery means pattern is embroidered on the substantive part of
the appliqué pattern with an embroidery machine, the said seaming
means seaming the marginal of the pieces of appliqué, and the
afterwards process means the mash fabric is processed by hand after all
embroidering has been finished, for example dying-finishing , dissolving
with water, and finalizing etc.
The invention overcomes the limitation of prior method with which
only one kind of material can be applied on the mash fabric to form
appliqué embroidering. According to the method of the invention, more
than one embroidery process and appliqué processes can be carried out
with one embroidery machine, which results in that the embroidery can
be formed with thread of different color or different kind, the embroidery
can be formed by coiling up ropes, and cutting eyelets of different size
and different shape inside the embroidery. Because the material of the
pieces of appliqué can be cloth, pierces of plastic, leather etc., and can
be cut out into predetermined shape and size by hand or by a cutter in
advance, and the cutting process can be carried out in the same step layer
by layer so as to produce effect of levels. The appliqué can be made of
material of different color or different kind, and the material to make the
pieces of appliqué thicker can be placed under them, so that the thickness
between the pieces of appliqué and the mash fabric can be increased, and
the stereoscopic effect of protrusion and depression become strong. By
the step of embroidering the pieces of appliqué on the mash fabric using
an embroidery machine, the edge of the pieces of appliqué can be wholly
covered with embroidery thread, prohibiting the edge exposed outside
and thread drawn off.

Preferred embodiments of the invention
As shown in figure 1, the process of the invention is mainly to
carrying out cutting out with hands or cutting with a cutter, and
embroidering with an embroidery machine of multi-head or of shuttle etc.,
and includes the following steps:
a) different kinds of material for appliqué are cut out by hand or cut
by a cutter according to the appliqué pattern designed in advance to
prepare pieces of appliqué 3. b) the upper side or the underneath side of the mash fabric 1 is
covered with water-soluble paper or cloth, for example non-woven
interlining, and the mash fabric 1 is put on an embroidery machine and
embroidered with patterns designed in advance; c) the upside of the water-soluble paper or cloth or of the mash fabric
is embroidered with the outlines of the pieces of appliqué ; d) the pieces of appliqué 3 are placed inside the outlines embroidered
in step c, and embroidered or seamed with an embroidered machine; e) the mash fabric embroidered undergoes afterwards process.
As shown in figures 2, 3and 4, according to the invention, different
material (for example cloth, leather, and plastic etc.) is cut with a knife or
a cutter into the shape according to the appliqué pattern designed in
advance to prepare pieces of appliqué 3. Then embroidery is carried out
with an embroidery machine of multi-head or shuttle, the process of
which is the following, the upper side or underneath side of the mash
fabric 1 is covered with water-soluble paper or cloth made of non-woven
interlining, and embroidery pattern 2 is formed as designed on the mash
fabric, or on the water-soluble paper or cloth , for example embroidering
laces, or flowers, or coiling up ropes (4), that is, laces or flowers are
formed with cord thicker than thread, or cutting eyelets, that is, eyelets
are formed, patterns are cut or other operations are carried out at the same
time as embroidery is formed with the steel knife of the embroidery
machine or other cutters. When forming appliqué, firstly the
water-soluble paper or cloth is embroidered with the outlines of the
pieces of appliqué , then the pieces of appliqué 3 are placed inside the
outlines, and each substantive part of pieces appliqué 3 is embroidered
with the embroidery machine of multi-head or shuttle, or the pieces of
appliqué are seamed along the marginal, so that the pieces of appliqué
are fixed on the mash fabric or on the water-soluble paper. Finally the
mash fabric to which all embroidery process has been finished is sent to
undergo afterwards process, including dying-finishing, dissolving in
water and finalizing etc.
According to the invention, sponge, cotton, and feather stretching
outside etc. can be placed or pasted under the pieces of appliqué as the
embroidery is formed on the pieces of appliqué with the machine so as to
improve the protrusion effect of the pieces of appliqué on the mash fabric,
increase the stereoscopic effect of the pieces of appliqué and wholly
increase their outlook and feeling of touch.
According to the invention, embroidery, ropes or eyelets etc. are
formed on the mash fabric with an embroidery machine of shuttle or
multi-head, then the pieces of appliqué are located and embroidered, so
that there can be difference between the colors and patterns of the
embroidery and those of the pieces of appliqué , which result in several
kinds of stereoscopic patterns simultaneously on the mash fabric, each of
which presents several colors, different patterns and styles. The mash
fabric processed with the method according to the invention is more
beautiful than that processed by the prior method with single appliqué
embroidering. Coiling up ropes and cutting eyelets mentioned above are
prior art of the field, for example, coiling up ropes means that embroidery
laces or flowers are formed with cord thicker than thread, and cutting
eyelets means that eyelets are formed, patterns are cut at the same time as
embroidery is formed with the steel knife of the embroidery machine or
other cutters.
The mash fabric 1 mentioned in the invention is usually used to make
underclothes, underpants and wedding gown etc., which has small hole
and soft.
According to the invention, the pieces of appliqué 3 cut with a cutter
can be of different shape and can be cut in the same step layer by layer so
as to allow the pieces of appliqué with the effect of levels. If two pierces
of cloth of different color are cut at the same time so that the small
pattern overlaps on the large pattern, the pieces of appliqué can give a
visual effect of levels. The cutting can be carried out with a laser, which
carves a figure or a pattern on the cloth of appliqué. It is not easy for the
cutting edges of pieces of appliqué to come off because they are cut
with a laser, and the stereoscopic effect of appliqué improved.
According to the invention, embroidery threads of different colors
and different kinds can be used to form embroidery on the pieces of
appliqué or seam them, and the appliqué presents different colors and
styles.
According to the invention, when seaming the pieces of appliqué
with an embroidery machine, all the edges of the pieces of appliqué can
be covered with embroidery thread and prohibited from exposing outside,
and the appliqué are more beautiful.
