Free-motion machine embroidery:

A basic type of zigzag sewing machine can be utilized to produce embroidery designs in the case of free-motion machine embroidery. The tightly bonded fabric has to be moved beneath a needle to create a design in this kind of machine embroidery. In this case, the embroidery has to be developed manually by the operator using the machine’s settings so that the tight stitches form a design or an image on a piece of fabric.
These types of machines have only one needle, hence the operators have to stop and manually rethread for every color in a multicolor design, which consumes a lot of time. Any design created by this machine is very unique and cannot be accurately reproduced, unlike with computerized embroidery designs as this is a manual process rather than a digital production system.
