Other features include a height adjustable electronic presser foot, which moves independently of the needle. “When the needle comes out of the embroidery material, the presser foot can still remain firmly on the material, depending on setting, preventing the embroidery material from being pulled upwards when the needle is raised,” explains Stocks. The Racer-R also comes with adjustable thread tension and promises an “extremely low noise level, compared to conventional machines with only about half the speed”. The ZSK Racer-R comes with the new R-Head embroidery head TheMagicTouch: Reflectra ‘Stitchfoil’ Reflective Films Used like a regular appliqué, Reflectra Stitchfoil reflective films are compatible with all embroidery machines. “The Reflectra products assist in dramatically reducing stitch time using a simple outline satin stitch,” explains TheMagicTouch. “They offer an illumination effect when exposed to any direct light source, or flashes from cameras or smart phones — the effects are stunning and offer massive potential for embroidered fashion, promotional, sports and workwear.” Available in a 48 x 32cm sheet format in a variety of colours and effects, Reflectra Stitchfoil is made free from PVC, softeners and heavy metals, and meets all the requirements of the Oeko-Tex standards.
