How do you sew a hem by hand?
Have the garment worn (inside out) by a person, or use a dressmaker's manikin to establish the correct length for the hem. Mark with chalk or pin with straight pins. Remove the garment and press the hem. Straighten the hem flat and turn down, a small amount of the "hem" material, and once again press the fabric - this will keep the fabric from fraying. If there is not enough extra fabric to do this step use a commercially available fray-stop liquid. Fold the hem into place with the extra inside between the hem material and the garment. Taking needle and thread, (use a colour matching the fabric for the thread), place a knot in the end of the thread. Catch a small amount of the upper edge of the hem with the needle and take a very small vertical stitch into the garment, pull thread through to the knot, move about an inch along the hem and take another stitch and pull the thread through until it is taught, but not so tight as to bunch the fabric. Be sure the hem is laying flat to the garment and continue stitching until you reach the end of your thread or the starting place of the hand work. Secure the thread with a knot and if you have not completed the hem, re-thread the needle and continue. When you have completed the hem, cut the thread, make sure the work is tidy (no hanging threads etc), turn the garment right side out and you are finished.
Are baseballs machine sewn?
yes The present day ball stitching machines, are used as a thread tightening device. The stitching thread control device tightly clamps the stitching thread for manufacturing the finished baseball so that the worker only needs to use minimum force to pull and set the stitches on balls. The operation of this device is convenient for workers. In the past Baseball Stitching clamps were used. This device was used to secure the baseball during the process of sewing on the cover by hand. In the early days the clamps were made of wood by locale woodworkers or carpenters, and later made of metal. The baseballs were both sewn at the factories or at home, the work done mostly by women. Two pieces of figure-eight-shaped cowhide is dampened to permit pliability and placed around a string wound core, then placed in the stitching clamp. The covers are stapled together to hold in place for stitching. The baseball is then hand-stitched together with 216 raised stitches. It takes about 13-14 minutes to hand sew a baseball.

What is the function of the reverse stitch on sewing machine?
when you are ending a run of sewing in a straight stitch you use the reverse to "lock" the sewing, so the thread will not pull out as easy, and it is less bulky than hand knotting it. you just hit the reverse for about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch at the end of your seam and maybe do it a couple of times depending on stress of the seam is going to be under in the finish garment.
How do you remove party foam from clothes?
The stuff is basically a sticky substance. Use a butter knife or other blunt instrument to scrape the worst of it off the garment. Freezing the garment for about half an hour will help the knife remove it. If there is any residue in the garment, pretreat it with a good pretreater or antibacterial hand soap. Wash in cool water to avoid setting a possible stain. If there is a stain when the garment comes out of the wash, do not machine dry it, let it air dry. If this mild measure does not work, have the garment taken to a dry cleaners. Tell them what it is that made the stain, and they will have the proper chemical to remove it.
