As a result of technological developments and the effect of fashion, embroidery has become an important field of ornamentation on textile surfaces, especially for industrial branches such as clothing, home textile and footwear. Since the primary aim of embroidery is pattern transfer, special attention has been paid to visual quality, while the quality factors related to usage have remained in the background.
