Embroidery, which increases the value-added of the product with ornamentation technique, is indispensable for clothing manufacturers that particularly care about the brand image. With the development of computerized sewing machines, embroidery, which is a traditional ornamentation technique, can be performed using different methods and materials in multi-needle and multi-head embroidery machines. As a result of technological developments and the effect of fashion, embroidery has become an important field of ornamentation on textile surfaces, especially for industrial branches such as clothing, home textile and footwear.
 Since the primary aim of embroidery is pattern transfer, special attention has been paid to visual quality, while the quality factors related to usage have remained in the background. This research studies the effects of embroidery on clothing comfort in terms of embroidery parameters. By using the same yarn on the same fabric, the effects of embroidery stitch length and fusing paper properties on physical and thermal comfort properties are analyzed.
