Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Embroidery pattern workers accurately position and attach embroidery patterns to fabric before sewing with an embroidery machine, as a specialized profession.
Description
Embroidery pattern workers fix pattern paper or templates onto fabric before applying embroidery by machine or hand to apparel or interior products, precisely adjusting the position and orientation of the design. They handle pattern creation and adjustment, fabric stretching into embroidery machine frames, positioning, trial stitching inspections, and finished product quality checks. Since thread and fabric types vary by product, they understand fiber material properties to achieve uniform embroidery. They collaborate with sewing machine operators and sewing workers as part of the production line and accommodate diverse small-lot production.
Future Outlook
Due to the overseas transfer of domestic apparel production and advances in automation, job openings are flat to declining. On the other hand, demand for skilled workers handling digital embroidery machines is expected to continue.
