Why Network Your Machines?

  • Machine frame moves to correct position automatically
  • Display instructions on the control panel screen
  • Machine speed and needle bar order set automatically from the design

Barcode Scanning


Design transfer and networking is even more efficient with a barcode scanner. Implementing a barcode scanning system for loading designs will save time and reduce production errors. You can pull designs directly from a folder, or print a page with many barcodes for mass personalization projects.

Multimedia Design Features


Sequin

Make your sequin design unique with 12 different sequin styles and a variety of settings to determine the size and spacing of sequins. Sequin enthusiasts will enjoy the set of 4 specially punched sequin fonts (2 block and 2 script). Add automatic borders to create interesting effects and redefine your sequin lettering. Sequin fill will take the outlines you draw and automatically and intelligently fill them with sequins while preserving holes. This can be used with wave fills for a stunning sequin effect.

Chenille

With the Chenille option you can apply lattice, spiro, moss or chain walk to any segment and quickly transform it into creative chenille embroidery. Automatic sequencing of chains and mosses for shapes with holes minimizes travel stitches and cleans up your design for optimal machine operation.

Taping, Cording, Coiling

Taping, cording and coiling are unique embroidery effects created using special embroidery heads available only on some Tajima machines. The embroidery head will twist the upper and lower threads together to create a special coiling stitch. These effects have been made easy with DG16, eliminating hours of manual effort. No need for detailed stitch editing to set up machine commands, now you can work in outline mode instead.

Seed Beads

This new method of decoration is becoming very popular, very quickly. Users with the Seed Bead machine attachment and software option will be able to create expressive designs by placing beads in a variety of styles and positions. The Seed Bead tool’s functionality will be familiar to those that already work with Sequin tools.

Rhinestone

With DG16, you can take your favorite images and embroidery files and place rhinestones over the design elements. Place rhinestones over the background of your favorite photograph or bitmap images to give them a radiant effect.

Laser Appliqué

Use laser applique to create complex designs in less time and with greater accuracy whether you need really intricate patches, complex appliques in multiple colors or small lettering. Your embroidery design is sewn by the machine and then the laser will accurately cut the applique fabric without affecting the base garment.
