Abstract: A method for embroidering endless strips using an embroidery machine includes the following steps: Feeding a strip section of at least one upper strip to an embroidery area of an embroidery frame; introducing embroidery using at least one embroidery head onto the strip section of the upper strip within the embroidery area of the embroidery frame; feeding at least one lower strip to the embroidery area of the embroidery frame, which is placed below the upper strip; producing at least one connecting seam between the upper strip and the lower strip in a plane of the embroidery frame; and removing the finished strip comprising the embroidered strip and the lower strip sewn thereto.
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus on an embroidering/stitching machine or sewing machine for applying at least one additional band-like material which can be fed to a needle by means of a feeding device, wherein a cutting device is arranged on the feeding device (4), wherein the feeding device (4) can be rotated together with the cutting device around the axis of the needle (6) by means of a drive and the cutting device is driven or can be driven by means of the drive of the presser (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting a checking unit of a presser foot, used in a sewing or embroidery machine. A needle bar moves the presser foot towards a needle plate, using a spring which is connected in series. The checking unit intercepts the presser foot using a checking element of the unit, before contact is made with the work piece to be sewn and controls the movement of the presser foot until the latter touches the work piece. The checking element and the needle bar are both operated by a common drive and the bedding position of the checking element can be modified in relation to the needle plate.
Abstract: The invention relates to an embroidery machine for embroidering embroidery fabric (23), particularly for chain stitching and drop stitching. The embroidery machine has an embroidery head (1), located above the embroidery fabric (23), and an embroidery needle (2) is movably supported in the embroidery head (1) in such a way that by means of drive mechanisms, the embroidery needle (2) is movable up and down and is also rotatable about its longitudinal axis. The embroidery machine also has a stitch plate (3), which is located below the embroidery fabric (23) and on which at least some of the embroidery fabric (23) rests during the embroidering. A thread layer (18) is located on the side of the stitch plate (3) remote from the embroidery fabric (23) and guides the embroidery thread (10) for stitching, and by rotation of the thread layer (18) the embroidery thread (10) can be laid around the embroidery needle (2) that has pierced the embroidery fabric (23).
