The description of a textile production plant:
"esclusiva trapuntatura a capo"
They are talking about manufacturing quilts. I think it should be something like "single quilting" or "individual quilting" or "block quilting" but can't find anything to prove it.
Thank you

single head (quilting machine)
I think this refers to single/one head quilting machine.

Just my feeling and this: The description of a textile production plant. To be honest, I do not understand your version. But this is also part of the fun in translation :) . Thanks for asking!

Every article (is) individually quilted.
Perhaps the "exclusive" refers to the design or the pattern.
