Embroidery Defect

Embroidery Defect is a common quality defect term in foreign trade orders for textiles, apparel, and home textiles. It refers to problems in the embroidery process that do not meet the customer's approved sample or industry standards. Specific manifestations include: thread breakage, skipped stitches, missing embroidery, wrong thread color, uneven stitch density, pattern misalignment, untrimmed thread ends, embroidery position deviation, exposed bobbin thread, and embroidery wrinkling. Usage scenarios are mostly quality inspection reports, inspection feedback, claim negotiations, and production rectification notices. Notes: 1) The contract should clearly define the criteria for determining embroidery defects (such as AQL sampling level and acceptable defect count); 2) It is necessary to distinguish between 'major defects' and 'minor defects'; the former affects function or appearance for sale, while the latter may be repairable; 3) Keep approved samples and sealed samples as reference for comparison. Difference from other terms: 'Embroidery Defect' specifically refers to defects in the embroidery process, while 'Printing Defect' refers to printing flaws, 'Weaving Defect' refers to fabric weaving problems, and 'Sewing Defect' refers to stitching defects. Foreign trade practitioners need to confirm embroidery process requirements with the factory in the early stage of the order, strengthen inspections in the middle stage, and inspect according to standards in the later stage to avoid returns or claims caused by embroidery defects.
