Landscape fabric is meant to prevent weed growth in the area where it is put down. Pine needles are considered ground cover and are essentially meant to do the same thing but not as effectively. So for complete weed prevention use the landscape weed barrier ( providing it can allow water to pass through ) and pine needles on top for a nice appearance.
You will need pins, needles, scissors, tape measure, a sewing machine, chalk etc.
I really need to do something with my backyard. Where can I get tips on landscaping it?
no
There is no single "right" answer to this question. It depends on the type of fabric, and the kind of thread you are using. The thicker the fabric (such as denim) the larger the needle needed. In general, if you use a medium needle, you will probably do ok.
I assume that you are speaking of a sewing machine needle size. Sewing with cotton etc., you can use the universal 10/70 for most projects. Remember to change the needle often for best results. ADDITIONAL ANSWER: Needles, thread and fabric are project specific. If you are using a light weight fabric a 70/10 Universal needle should work nicely. However, if you're sewing with denim then you would need a "denim needle" or a universal 90/14 to a 100/16. Medium weight fabrics do well with the Universal 80/12 needle and standard sewing thread you can find in any fabric store. If you are sewing on a stretchy fabric then you need needles designed to slide through the fabric without tearing. And, here again, the size of the needle depends on the weight of the stretchy fabric. If you are sewing on leather, you'll need a leather needle. The best place to learn about needles, thread and fabric is "Threads Magazine" - they have excellent resource guides on their website. Sewmetheway
Of course you need a permit to landscape.
no you do not need one
NO
yes they need a lisence to do their jobs.
You would need mowers, tractors, weed eating devices, chainsaws, and hedge clippers.
Well firstly, a fashion designer needs the appropriate work gear - building nails, ruler, scissors, and cutting wire. All the rest equipment is just a myth. You do not need sewing needles or fabric.
Start with the needles and yarn that you want to use, then knit a sample. Calculate the gauge -- number of stitches per row horizontally and number of rows per inch vertically.Determine how much fabric you need, then knit.If you're working with commercial fabric, use a measuring stick and count the number of stitches, as above.
