machine embroidery
Computerized textile decoration
Machine embroidery is decorative stitching done by a sewing machine or specialized embroidery machine rather than by hand.
Home machines follow programmed designs, while commercial machines produce the logos and lettering on uniforms, caps, and promotional items.
The term distinguishes the technique from traditional hand embroidery: The monogram was machine embroidery, not handwork.
