A frame (1) for clamping fabric (4) for embroidery machines (5), characterized in that it comprises a template for sewing labels (20, 30). The template can move transversely with respect to a resting surface (P) of a fabric (4) and comprises at least one cutout plate (2), which has at least one opening (21, 22) the shape of which matches a first label (20) to be applied by sewing to the fabric (4), the inner rim (21a) of the opening (21) being adapted to contain laterally the first label (20) during sewing.

Systems and methods relate generally to textile patch attachment to a textile material. In an example, a method relating generally to textile patch attachment to a textile material is disclosed. In such a method, design and coloring of a textile patch and the textile material is detected. This detection includes: capturing images of the textile patch and the textile material with a camera; sending the images to a programmed computer system in communication with the camera for image processing; determining thickness and colors of the textile patch and the textile material from the image processing of the images; and determining position of the textile patch relative to a pattern of the textile material from the image processing of the images. After the detecting, data obtained from the detecting is displayed on a display screen of the programmed computer system.

A composite sewn part for use in a subsequent curing process, including: a first composite laminate; at least one stringer secured to the first composite laminate by stitches, the at least one stringer including a first stringer portion comprising a composite laminate and a second stringer portion comprising a composite laminate, which are sewn together to provide the at least one stringer, the first stringer portion having a flange portion that is sewn to the first composite laminate and a web that extends upwardly from the flange portion and the second stringer portion having a flange portion that is sewn to the first composite laminate and a web that extends upwardly from the flange portion of the second stringer portion; and a polymer reinforcement located between the first stringer portion and the second stringer portion or between the first composite laminate and the first stringer portion and the second stringer portion.

A frame (1) for clamping fabric (4) for embroidery machines (5), comprising at least one cutout plate (2) provided with at least one cutout (21, 22) having a shape that corresponds to a first label (20) to be applied by sewing to the fabric (4), the internal rim (22a) of the cutout (22) being adapted to surround the first label (20) during sewing. The clamping frame (1) further comprises a pressing device (6) with a pressure plate (60) that is movable, with respect to the clamping frame (1), between a retracted position and a position in which the pressure plate is accommodated in the cutout (22) of the cutout plate (2) to retain the label in a direction perpendicular to the resting surface (P) for the fabric (4).
