The Development History of World Embroidery Machines

Embroidery is one of the ancient national handmade arts in my country, and it has made a great contribution to the progress and improvement of the national material civilization in the past. However, after entering modern society, especially after the introduction of foreign trade, the demand for embroidery products has greatly increased. Hand embroidery can no longer meet people's needs and slowly withdraws from the historical stage. With the development of the machinery industry, the traditional manual embroidery method has been changed.

The development of embroidery machines has a long history. The first hand embroidery machine was produced by Joshua Heilman in 1828, announcing that traditional hand embroidery began to withdraw from its dominant position.

When embroidery first broke away from manual embroidery, the embroidery machine at that time was a traditional sewing machine, replaced with a bottom plate with a small round hole, the needle of the sewing machine kept going in and out, and the hand-held embroidery frame was tightened, moved back and forth, but the essence is still a kind of hand embroidery.

In 1864, Groebli developed the first experimental prototype of a flying shuttle embroidery machine in Switzerland. The birth of the first automatic shuttle embroidery machine in New York in 1890 marked a new step in the development of embroidery machines.

In 1964, Japan's first embroidery machine entered the market, followed by the introduction of the first mechanical multi-head embroidery machine in 1968. It was not until 1970 that electronic technology was applied to the shuttle embroidery machine, which brought about the upgrading of embroidery machine technology. The technology of skipping stitches and automatic color changing has been rapidly developed internationally, which makes computerized embroidery machines widely used.

At the end of the 1980s in China, the first computerized embroidery machine came out, breaking the dominance of imported computerized embroidery machines and causing a sensation in the domestic market. However, the development of embroidery machines has not been rapid since then, and it was not until the end of the nineties that it achieved rapid development.
