Schiffli Embroidery is manufactured by applying machine embroidering with front yarn and back yarn on base cloth using thegschiffli embroidery machineh, which is 18 meters in length and equipped with 1,000 needles.
The features that differentiate embroidery from other kinds of lace are its freedom of design and ability to create luxurious three dimensional effects.
In addition, patterns can be created and modified in a shorter period of time.

1. Different Variations of Embroidery
Embroidery is classified into several variations depending on production methods and materials used.
(1)Allovers
The stitching is performed on the fabric.Thefabric remains on the final product.
 (2)Bored embroidery
The fabric is perforated by a special device called gborersh on the machine in addition to being stitched by needles.
(3)Guipires
The stitching is performed on water-soluble fabric which is dissolved afterward, allowing only the embroidered yarn to remain on the final product, thus laces of many styles can be duplicated on the embroidery machine.		 (4)Embroidery on Net
The water-soluble fabric is lapped over the net, on which the stitching is performed. Later the water-soluble fabric is dissolved allowing the embroidered stitching and the net to remain.
(5)Color Change Embroidery
Multi-color embroidery produced by a special type of machine called gColor Change Machineh, which enables the needles for different colors to work in turn.
2. Applications
Schiffli Embroidery is used for the following applications and others.
(1)Lingerie & Foundation (2)Formal Dress (3)Party Dress
(4)Home Textile (5)Automobile Seat Cover
3. Production Process of Embroidery
(1) Punching and Sampling
The sketch created by an embroidery designer is first enlarged by 6 times and traced manually, and the resulting drawing is posted on the digitizer of a special CAD system called gcomputer punching systemh. When the outlines of the shapes on the drawing are digitized by the use of a mouse, the system determines the locations of the stitching point by referring to pre-specified parameters such as stitch width, then translate them into machine interpretative pattern data which is output on to a floppy disk. This process is called gpunchingh which is an important element to determine the quality of embroidery. The data on the floppy is loaded into a sampling machine whose length ranges from 1 meter to 4 meters. The manufactured sample piece is shown to the customers for order.

(2) Machine Embroidering(Production)
Once the order is placed, embroidering begins on a 15-yard production machine. The machine is a large one with 18 meter length, 4.5 meter height ,and more than 1000 needles. Two pieces of base fabric are set vertically, one piece on the upper stage, the other on the lower. Thus two pieces of fabric, each with 13.7 meters length and 1.1 meter width can be embroidered at once. Since the introduction of computer numerical control, the positioning of the machine frame can be performed with higher speed and more accuracy.

(3) Inspection, Mending, Shearing, Finishing
The defects found upon close inspection will be mended by sewing machine. The floating thread is clipped by the shearing machine and sent to a dying factory to be finished.
