The embroidery machine is indispensable when performing large work, as well as when working in some techniques, where the use of small hoops is unacceptable. The machine can be purchased or made by yourself.
It is necessary
- - wooden plank
- - hacksaw or jigsaw
- - bolts, washers, wing nuts
- - sandpaper, stain, varnish
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to take a wooden plank 25x15, it can be thicker, but it should not be thinner - it will not withstand the strong tension of dense fabric and will crack. You will need to cut off two 320 mm long base strips with two holes on one side, round and oblong. There are also two sticks, their size is 320-350 mm, the ends are rounded and at the ends there are two holes, round and rectangular. You will need a couple more planks with three holes each. Details in the corners are rounded off with sandpaper, stained or varnished, or both alternately. You will need a pair of stops, for which cylinders with a hole in the middle are grinded, and two distributor cubes. The cylindrical stops are attached to the long hole of the base planks with bolts, then bolt the base planks to the upright planks.
Step 2
The bolts are always secured with wing nuts; during assembly, make sure that the wings are outside the structure. The next step is to connect the middle pillar bar to the top bar. The cylinders are needed precisely to connect the machine frame to the rack, and the bolt that goes through them must be longer than the other bolts. The specific dimensions will depend on the width taken for the manufacture of the bar machine. Calculating the width is quite simple - it should be enough for two slats and a cylinder, and there should also be room for fastening with a thumb.
Step 3
A properly designed machine can be assembled to different frame heights, but its width is usually not adjustable. The machine on different supports is used as a floor machine, for embroidery on a sofa or at a table. You can make several such easy-to-manufacture machines, and pull several works on them, which are embroidered in parallel. This is especially true for those craftswomen who work in different techniques on several large-scale projects. The machine for any surface must be stable, so it makes sense to take thicker beams for the supports so that work, even on heavy and bulky fabrics, does not outweigh the frame when turning and the machine does not tip over.
Step 4
More complex machine designs require individual designs for each needlewoman. By adding nodes and joints, you can make the frame mount movable not only around its axis and up and down, but also sideways, and if there are three joints in the mount to the frame, each edge of the frame can be lowered and raised independently of the other. The wood for such fastenings must be durable and covered with several layers of varnish. The more mobile and mobile the frame with stretched embroidery, the more stable the supports should be.
