Abstract
A machine (M) for sewing, embroidering or quilting, in which a flat section (T) of a textile structure (T) in a stretched state can be pressed against a textile structure support area (TA) adjacent to a stitch plate (SP) and/or against the stitch plate (SP) and moved in a plane parallel to the stitch plate (SP) at a speed (v) relative to the stitch plate (SP) so that the flat section (T) lies flat against the stitch plate (SP). The machine (M) contains a detector module (DM) with which a property and/or a state of the moved flat section (T) of the textile structure (T) can be detected, and a control unit (SE) with which an operating mode of the machine (M) can be adjusted depending on the detected property or the detected state of the moved flat section (T) of the textile structure (T).
