PF EMBROIDERY EQUIPMENT www.images-magazine.com 86 images NOVEMBER 2019 PenCarrie: Madeira Weblon Backing Backing is notorious for being quite rough in texture, states PenCarrie. “The Weblon Backing (MR071) from Madeira is softer than other backing though, so it’s great for sportswear and kidswear.” An ideal cut-away stabiliser, the backing is sold in packs of 250 sheets in black and white. “If used with the Madeira Avalon Cold Water Soluble Topping (MR050), it can also help prevent puckering,” adds the company. The water-soluble film is said to be useful on towels and knitwear in particular, preventing stitches from sinking and disappearing into the fabric when embroidering. www.pencarrie.com Amaya: Melco EMT16 Plus The Melco EMT16 Plus modular embroidery machine can be configured to whatever multi-head set up the user requires, reports Amaya Sales UK. “This takes out the guesswork when starting a new embroidery business as you don’t have to decide on whether you need a one-, two- or four-head machine,” it explains. “Just start with the minimum you decide on, and then add on as your production requirements.” This modular concept is said to enable users to optimise production by configuring the order in which machines embroider. If a thread breaks, for example, only the head that has had the break will stop, leaving the other heads running. “The same applies for other occasions of machine stoppages, which can give users an unbelievable increase in their embroidery production.” The new Melco Fast Clamp is also available from Amaya, which allows users to embroider on fabric in difficult positions. www.amayauk.com Users are able to configure the Melco EMT16 Plus to whatever multi-head set-up they require BriTon Leap: Embrilliance Software BriTon Leap has released its latest free update to the Embrilliance software platform with major updates introduced across all programs. The update adds object-based, scalable font creation and publishing, complete with fine-grained rights control and custom installation file generation to its StitchArtist level 3 digitising software at no additional charge. This enables users of StitchArtist level three to create their own native fonts for personal use or sale/distribution to the Embrilliance community. Other new additions to the software’s lettering engine include the ability to create envelopes to warp single and multi-line text into near infinite shapes, as well as template creation tools, including baseline objects that run text on any path and namedrop objects. Both of these additional features are said to allow assignment of any lettering to specified template areas with defined styles and placements. Although StitchArtist is required to create these objects, any Embrilliance platform program enables users to assign new lettering to template objects in an Embrilliance working file. This is said to be ideal for stock design sellers and embroiderers looking to increase efficiency, suggests the company. The latest software update features a range of improvements, which include new lettering sequence controls for caps, DST output options, automated trim settings and three-point arc drawing, making it “the most extensive update of the platform to date”, says the company. www.embrilliance.com The latest update of the Embrilliance software is free and includes major updates across all programs The Weblon Backing from M a deira is ideal for sports and kidswear, says PenCarrie
