A method for embroidering endless strips (1) by an embroidery machine, comprising:
- feeding a strip section (30) of an upper strip (3) to an embroidery area (207) of an embroidery frame (200);
- introducing embroidery, by an embroidery head (101), onto the strip section (30) of the upper strip (3) within the embroidery area (207) of the embroidery frame (200);
- feeding a lower strip (4) to the embroidery area (207) of the embroidery frame (200) and placing the lower strip (4) below the upper strip (3);
- producing a connecting seam and thereby a finished strip (6) by sewing the upper strip (3) to the lower strip (4) in a plane (E) of the embroidery frame (200);
- and
- removing the finished strip (6) comprising the embroidered strip (3) and the lower strip (4) sewn thereto.
An embroidery frame (200) for an embroidery machine for embroidering endless strips (1) in a plane (E) of an embroidery area (207) of the embroidery frame (200), comprising:
- a feed slider (206) which is displaceable parallel to a plane (E) of the embroidery frame (200), by which a lower strip (4) is guided to an upper strip (3);
- and
- a further feed slider (206′) which is displaceable parallel to the plane (E) of the embroidery frame (200) and by which a further lower strip (4′) is placed below the upper strip (3).
A method for embroidering endless strips (1) by an embroidery machine, comprising:
- feeding a first strip (3) to an embroidery area (207) of an embroidery frame (200);
- guiding a second strip (3′,4,4′) by a feed slider (206) to be selectively arranged
- next to the first strip (3) in the embroidery area (207) when the feed slider (206) is in a feed position or
- away from the embroidery area (207) when the feed slider (206) is in a park position;
- securing the first strip (3) in the embroidery area (207) between an upstream clamp (202) on an inlet side of the embroidery area (207) and a downstream clamp (203) on an outlet side of the embroidery area (207);
- introducing embroidery, by an embroidery head (101), onto the first strip (3) within the embroidery area (207) of the embroidery frame (200) while the feed slider (206) is in the park position and the first strip (3) is secured in the embroidery area (207);
- moving the feed slider (206) from the park position to the feed position;
- sewing the first strip (3) to the second strip (3′,4,4′) while the feed slider (206) is in the feed position;
- moving the feed slider (206) from the feed position to the park position;
- releasing the upstream clamp (202) and the downstream clamp (203);
- and
- removing the first strip (3) and the second strip (4) sewn thereto from the embroidery area (207).
