Machine embroidery

Machine embroidery is now so heavily utilized for product branding, corporate advertising, uniform adornment and also for personal sewing and craft projects by hobbyists that the word "embroidery" is now generally more readily associated with forms of Machine Embroidery than any of the more traditional forms of "Hand Embroidery".

There are two main types of Machine Embroidery:

The first "Free Motion Sewing Machine Embroidery", involves using a basic zigzag sewing machine.

The second "Computerized Machine Embroidery" involves using an embroidery machine or sewing/embroidery machine.
