Embroidery with cords is considered a decorative technique that gives a distinctive appearance to the garment. Knitted fabrics are characterized by loop construction, which gives the fabric elasticity; therefore, this research aimed to study the effect of the variables of machine embroidery with decorative cords (in terms of the width of the ribbon, the length of the fixing stitch, and the width of the fabric) on the properties of the knitted fabrics. A weft knitted fabric was produced from polyacrylic material (380 denier) on a gauge 12 N/per inch and gauge N/14 per inch flat knitting machine, with a single jersey construction.
The samples were embroidered using cords of different widths. The widths of the cords were (3mm - 5mm - 7mm), and the embroidery cords were fixed using the 301 locked stitch, with a difference in the density of the stitches, as the lengths of the stitches were as follows (0.95mm - 1 mm - 1.5 mm). The results showed that the appearance, the stiffness in the direction of wales and in the direction of courses, and the seam strength are affected by the gauge of the knitting machine, the length of the cord fixing stitch and the width of the cord used in embroidery.
The samples were embroidered using ribbons of different widths. The widths of the ribbons were (3mm - 5mm - 7mm), and the embroidery ribbons were fixed using the 301 locked stitch, with a difference in the density of the stitches, as the lengths of the stitches were as follows (0.95mm - 1 mm - 1.5 mm), the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between (knitted fabric gauge, the width of the ribbon used, and the length of the stitches to fix the ribbon), and the properties of the fabric after embroidery.
