Abstract: A fixation inset (1) for an embroiderable carrier material (6) to be fixed to an embroidery hoop (2), hoop (2) being provided for a further carrier material, characterized in that fixation inset (1) includes a downholder (4) with at least one embroidery window (5), and that downholder (4) is insertable into embroidery hoop (2), and that downholder (4) is designed in such a manner that embroiderable carrier material (6) is fixable between its underside (7) which encircles the at least one embroidery window (5), and a counter face (8).

Abstract: In a time-saving machine embroidering method, an auxiliary frame, having clamped therein an auxiliary backing material, is placed in the frame of an embroidering machine. A motif is then embroidered onto the auxiliary backing material, and the auxiliary frame together with the auxiliary backing material is removed from the frame. The material to be embroidered is fixed in the frame, and subsequently the auxiliary frame with the embroidered auxiliary backing material positioned above the material to be embroidered is again fixed in the frame. Subsequently, the motif embroidered already is only fixed on the material by means of embroidering or sewing stitches. Finally, the auxiliary frame and the material provided with the motif are removed from the frame and the auxiliary backing material is removed.

Abstract: A process for marking a textile product by means of an invisible substance whose presence in the textile product is detectable by conventional detection methods of analytical chemistry, wherein the substance for marking the textile product is so selected as to be suitable for extraction from the textile product and detection through application of an absorbent probe.

Abstract: A process of making a low-shrinkage, air-textured yarn, in particular sewing yarn, of synthetic, pre-oriented polymer multifilaments, includes the steps of drawing multifilaments in the form of a single strand at a temperature of about 180.degree. to 230.degree. C. by a factor of 1.6 to 2.5, air-texturing the drawn strand at a rate of overfeed of 1.03 to 1.20 to form a single-strand raw yarn, feeding the raw yarn to a fluffing zone of predetermined length at a rate of overfeed of 1.003 to 1.025, winding the fluffy raw yarn at slightest possible tension, reeling off and twisting the wound raw yarn, and treating the twisted raw yarn at a temperature of 125.degree. to 135.degree. C. over 1 to 3 hours in a dyeing unit, and, optionally, dyeing the raw yarn. The process is equally applicable for making plied yarns.
