Annotation:
New areas where the process of embroidery could be applied have emerged in recent years. Technologies of embroidery are more often applied in unusual areas such as medicine, used for production of composite materials that are reinforced with plastic and for production of smart clothes or textile, etc. It is important that the embroidered element is a product which has precisely the same parameters as it was designed and these requirements are relevant to both traditional embroidered elements and those which are made to carry out special functions.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of different factors on the quality characteristics of an embroidered element.
While doing this work the impact of textile fabric mechanical qualities and embroidery process on quality characteristics and functional qualities of embroidered elements have been investigated. An original research and evaluation methodology about buckling of fabrics inside the embroidered element (in limited dimensions) was created and criteria of evaluation were chosen. Also, the research on puckering of embroidered element was done and variants of embroidered elements defects were formed. Functional qualities of liuminescent embroidered elements were studied and evaluated in this work.
