Moss embroidery machines are constructed differently than traditional embroidery machines, but use a similar stitching technique. Moss embroidery is created using a single-thread system: the needle passes through the backing material and pulls the thread out from under the needle, plate-side up. Then, a rotating motion of the needle creates a loop on top of the backing material. The repetition of this pattern creates a dense, moss-like surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe hook of the needle points against the embroidery direction, in the direction of seam formation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLoop formation builds on the surface of the textile to create a three-dimensional structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChain stitch embroidery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike moss stitch, chain stitch embroidery is produced with a K-head, which also uses a single-thread system.
