PF EMBROIDERY www.images-magazine.com 62 images MARCH 2021 Brother Sewing Machines: PR1055X 10-needle Embroidery Machine The Brother PR1055X 10-needle embroidery machine is designed to handle larger garments with ease, such as jacket backs and quilts. Operators can use the PR1055X’s built-in camera to scan projects in the hoop, connecting borders or placing embroidery designs exactly where they want them. They can also create designs on-screen with My Design Center by drawing directly onto the LCD screen, and adding stippling and decorative fills at the press of a button. The PR1055X also offers auto- threading and colour sorting, and its wireless LAN connectivity and optional PE-Design 11 software enables embroiderers to connect up to 10 machines. Wilcom: WilcomWorkspace New for 2021, WilcomWorkspace offers an online embroidery companion enabling users to view and resize their embroidery designs and use the company’s stitch processing technology to recalculate stitches and stitch spacing. “It offers a simple and affordable way to open the latest e4.5 .EMB embroidery design files, resize, recolour, export and print designs from anywhere,” says Wilcom. Being web-based, it runs on PC, Mac and most tablet devices. Embroiderers can save designs in the data-rich Wilcom .EMB file format, and retain all the thread colour and embroidery information. They can also convert and export any .EMB design to machine stitch files, including Tajima .DST, Tajima .TBF, Barudan .DSB, Melco .EXP and more, and “create unique colourways for different coloured garments and view them with Wilcom’s TrueView technology, simulating a stitched embroidery design in the various thread colourways”. AJS: Tajima TMEZ Embroidery Machine with Intelligent Thread Management Designed with the operator in mind, the new Tajima TMEZ range with Intelligent Thread Management (I-TM) is now available with one, two, four, six and eight embroidery heads. “I-TM cleverly looks at the design and delivers exactly the right amount and length of thread that is needed for that exact stitch,” explains AJS. This next generation of Tajima embroidery machines have a digitally-controlled presser foot (DCP), which is designed to help users embroider on very thin to thick material or seamed sections without fluttering. The TMEZ series also features a special Fine Stitch (FS) mode that “provides stability and creates a high quality of embroidery, which makes it easy to sew with hard-to-embroider threads”. Made with a slim cylinder design for easier access, the TMEZ series has a reinforced wide cap frame to enhance embroidery stability, which increases the rotational speed to 1,000 rotations per minute. The machines also enable network access, come with two USB and one LAN port, and are barcode-ready. Other features include a large, full-colour touchscreen operating panel, picker-less trimmers, thread trappers, head control keys, a laser position marker and a new universal needle plate. DecoNetwork: Business Hub DecoNetwork Business Hub is an integrated business tools solution that manages a user’s front-end website sales plus back-end quotes and orders, and includes complete artwork and production management tools. It enables automatic stitch estimating, as well as pricing for embroidery and embroidery digitising, making it easy to create an embroidery quote with custom digitising, says the company. “Along with the embroidery digitising job with stitch estimation, Business Hub also lets users add real embroidery lettering in a straight or arched line as they can currently do with their embroidery software.
