Focus on Embroidery
Stocks Andreas Schulze designs new ZSK SPRINT 8
In 2019, the idea was born to hire an industrial designer for the development of a new ZSK SPRINT model. A key requirement for the new SPRINT model was robustness of the body and an improved ability for 3D puffy embroidery. The plan (pre-COVID) was to fi nalise the fi rst machine before the scheduled Open House in 2020. These plans were postponed due to the pandemic, however the new ZSK SPRINT 8 model, designed by artist and designer Andreas Schulze, is fi nally here to bring a new level to industrial machine embroidery. • New Take-Up Lever: The machine is equipped with a slightly longer take up lever. This ensures slightly more thread and a softer embroidery result. The backside of the embroidery shows a very clean 1/3 1/3 1/3 result.
The SPRINT 8
• Noise: Components in the F-Head have been changed which leads to a reduced noise level. • Quick Change: The Quick Change System between operation modes (tubular – cap – shoe etc.) is a standard feature of the SPRINT 8. (Previous models include this feature as an option extra).
• Super fast catcher: The machine is equipped with a super fast catcher motor. The system works well for high quality threads such as Amann, Madeira and Gunold.
• Status light (optional): A status light (red/ green) can be installed to the machine to signal the currently machine status. Ideal for factories with multiple machines.
• Robustness: The machine weight has been increased by approximately 40kg. A lot of additional weight has been invested into the robustness of the machine body.
• Thread stand: The thread stand can be loosened/ taken off with one screw. However, the height cannot be adjusted as in the SPRINT 6 and 7. For mobile use Stocks recommends a SPRINT 6.
• 3D embroidery: Organ Needles offer a needle with a very high thread channel. Combining this needle together with the latest puffy spring (extra strong) and the SPRINT 8 leads to great results, also for multi- level puffy embroidery.

• Fast colour change: The SPRINT 8 is equipped with a fast colour change system as a standard feature. The SPRINT 8 is available from Stocks in the UK.

Madeira was the fi rst company in the world to successfully produce an embroidery thread made from 100% natural rayon and the fi rst to introduce polyester thread in fl uorescent shades. Madeira is now delighted to present POLYNEON green 40, a premium quality machine embroidery thread made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles. With the same features as standard POLYNEON, it’s shiny, robust, and available in 108 carefully chosen colours from the well-known POLYENON shade range.
When selecting your core thread, consider the end use of the garments you embroider. CLASSIC, Madeira’s best-selling biodegradable rayon thread has a soft natural sheen and is suitable across most market sectors. If bleach resistance is required, select colours from the POLYNEON range. Both ranges are available in different thread weights and over 400 colours many of which are matched to Pantone meaning brand colours can easily be identifi ed.
For a unique look, try FROSTED MATT available in two weights. This polyester thread has a totally matt fi nish and lightfast properties making it ideal for embroidery onto fl ags, sailing equipment or other outdoor items. CLASSIC, POLYNEON and FROSTED MATT threads are vegan friendly, Oeko-Tex Class I certifi ed and REACH compliant.
The extended thread range includes a variety of metallics, wool mix and glow-in-the-dark-options. For more specialist applications, we have conductive, refl ective, and fi re-resistant threads. In addition, Madeira offers a variety of cut and tear away backing fabrics and an in-house cutting service. Madeira also stocks accessories to aid the embroidery process including magnetic frames, underthread, scissors, sprays, badge and appliqué fabrics and 3D foam in 10 colours. Embroidery is a sustainable choice for garment decoration, it’s cost-effective, durable and will last the lifetime of the garment.

• 18 needle thread tension: The 18 needle thread tension base includes a couple of changes. Thread breakage is detected through the white wheels. Clamp tensions have a larger clamping area and therefore provide a smoother tension. The bars of the tension are drilled in the centre for a smooth thread path.
