The flat embroidery machine is the product of modern technological progress, which can replace most artificial embroidery, and the quality of embroidery is stable, high efficiency, and low cost.

In 1828, Joshua Heilman produced the first hand embroidery machine. The hand embroidery machine was exhibited at Paris Exposition and won the Legion of Honor gold medal.

In 1867, the first flying shuttle embroidery machine was exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition and was awarded a recognition award. In 1870, the Schnoor and Steinhouse firm of Plauen, Germany developed a hand embroidery machine similar to Rittmeyer. This firm was a success and sold 2,325 units in 1982 alone.

In 1890, the first automatic mechanical shuttle embroidery machine was in operation in New York, but there was no pattern-making system available for six years.

From 1890 to 1906, the U.S. Shuttle embroidery industry grew significantly. 143 factories were established with 600 Shuttle embroidery machines. And most of them are concentrated in Hudson County, New Jersey because it is close to the clothing industry based in New York. In contrast, Switzerland has 6000 shuttle embroidery machines in use.

In 1911, the American embroidery industry has grown to 241 Shuttle embroidery factories, 1013 Shuttle embroidery machines and 5,900 employees, 248 hand embroidery factories, 1159 hand embroidery machines and 2500 employees.
