Machine embroidery is a technique that uses a sewing machine or embroidery machine to create decorative designs on fabric. Unlike hand embroidery, which is done manually with a needle and thread, machine embroidery automates the process, allowing for intricate patterns and faster production. This method is popular in various industries, including fashion, home decor, and promotional products. Embroidery machines can be programmed with different designs, making it easy to replicate logos or artwork on items like shirts, hats, and bags. The result is a professional finish that enhances the appearance of textiles.
