Embroidery Machine

fotografiaThe Regional Library in Žilina offers its registered users the option of custom embroidery for non-commercial uses. The Brother Innovis V3 embroidery machine is located on the first floor (the Scientific Literature Department). The maximum size of the embroidery area is 30×20 cm (determined by the biggest frame). The smallest size of fabric that can be embroidered is 10×10 cm. High quality polyester threads designed specifically for embroidery machines are used. 

What motifs can be embroidered? 

It is possible to embroider monograms, simple motifs such as flowers or inscriptions, as well as multicolor custom pictures. The machine offers tens of motives and diacritic fonts. It is also possible to use a professional software to make your own design from a picture created in a vector program in a .svg format. The most used vector graphics softwares are Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Xara Designer Pro. 

Which fabrics can be embroidered?

Almost all, but most need to be glued with a special underlay material, which the library has. 

Embroidery Machine Usage Rules

  • To use the embroidery machine, write us an  email at projekty@krajskakniznicazilina.sk with your vision of the motif and fabric.  The library will settle the date and time with you during its opening hours and will suggest the most suitable procedure. The fabric is to be brought by the user. The color selection may vary. As embroidery is a relatively short process, it should not take more than a couple minutes, although the amount of time depends on the size of the chosen motif.
  • A librarian accepts or declines the order. We do not embroider models which are contrary to the SR and EU legislation and the copyright law. We also do not print sexually explicit material, falsifications, and models that are obscene or inappropriate.
  • As of right now, this is not a self-service; therefore, the user cannot use the machine on their own

Embroidery Price List 

The library charges 0,50 € for every started two minutes of the embroidery process (opening price) and 0,50 € for the underlay material. The amount will be added to the user’s account when the order is received. The user pays at the central loan desk after receiving the finished product.
