How do you finish at the end of a hand sewing stitch?

I just take an extra stitch on the bottom of the piece, or in a hidden portion, and pass the needle back through the stitch to form a knot, Then I pass it through again to double the knot. If the sewing piece is needlepoint, I simply weave the yarn through the back of the stitches in the piece.


What are underlying assumptions about artificial intelligence?

One underlying assumption about artificial intelligence is that it is not possible for a machine to think or form opinions on its own. This might very well be proven false in the near future because programs are out there that offer a machine options in certain situations and the machine has to pick the best option.


How do you thread and install the bobbin on a singer 6251 sewing machine?

Put your spool of thread on the silver prong on the top of the sewing machine. Run the thread through the tensioner by following the arrows on the front of the machine (through the little clip at the top, down in the channel to the right of the 'auto tension', back up the other side of the 'auto tension', up to the top again, around the little groove there then down the other side of the groove). Thread the needle from the front then tuck the thread down and to the left so that it goes through the little channel on the foot. Then pull several inches of thread straight back. Wrap the thread once or twice around the little circular thing with the groove in it that is attached to the left side above the foot (sorry, I can't find my instruction book and I don't remember the name of that thing). Pull the metal plate back that covers the bobbin holder (the one with the little window in it) and put your bobbin in there with the stripes pointing up. Slide the metal plate back part-way so that the little arrow on the left of it lines up with the little arrow on the base of the machine. There will be a small gap where it is not closed all the way. Step on the pedal to run the machine and the bobbin should start to wind. You can look at your spool to make sure the thread is running. Keep an eye on the bobbin and don't wind it too full. When you have enough thread on the bobbin, let off the pedal, close the plate the rest of the way, unwind the thread from the round thing, and use something to sweep under the foot to draw the thread backward so that you pull about five inches of thread out the back of the machine. Trim all the ends of the threads so that you have two threads about 4" long--one coming from the needle and one from the bobbin. Then you're ready to go. Hope this made sense...and sorry if it was too much detail but I wasn't sure how much experience you've had with sewing.


How do you form a double treble crochet stitch?

First, make a chain that is three stitches longer than the number of double crochets you want in your row. Bring yarn once over hook from the back to front; skip the first three chains from the hook, then insert the hook into the 4th chain. Hook yarn and draw it through the chain stitch into the working area of your hook. You now have three loops. Hook yarn and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook. You have two loops. Hook yarn. Draw yarn through both loops. When you reach the end of the row, make three chains before turning to start the next row. This chain three counts as the first double crochet of the row.


What should you do if you pierced your ear with a sewing needle?

Well you can hope you didn't give yourself some form of infection, then go find something more intelligent to do that doesn't involve risking your health. I would suggest that you see a doctor. In case the metal needle was dirty, you could get Tetanus. The doctor can give you a Tetanus booster shot to prevent the disease.

What is cross stitching?

Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches are used to form a picture. Cross-stitch is usually executed on easily countable evenweave fabric. The stitcher counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch. Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern.
