What is the difference in the knit and woven fabric structure?
Knit fabrics can shrink or extend if a rib construction, have nap, have ribs/wales and are generally more elastic along the course. Woven fabric is interlaced sets of yarn that are not very elastic.
Are woven fabrics more fire resistance than knitted fabrics?
No. The only fabrics that are fire resistant are fabrics that are marked fire resistant. Whether the fabric is woven or a knit has nothing to do with the fire resistance.
Are woven fabrics better for summer or winter?
If you're referring to temperature and breathability, woven is not necessarily cooler than knit. The breathability depends more on the type of fiber (natural fabrics versus synthetic fabrics), and less on how it is constructed (woven fabrics versus knit fabrics).Fabrics that are "cool" and breathable are:linencotton (especially seersucker)rayonlightweight woolsilkThese are all natural fabrics, and can be either woven or knit. For example, a cotton shirt could be woven (such as a button-down shirt), or knit (such as a t-shirt).And if by "cool" you mean trendy or attractive....well, that's up to you. Both woven and knit come in cool prints and colors. :)

What is salvage in sewing?
I think you mean "selvage". That is the raw edge of the woven fabric. When you buy a length of fabric, selvage refers to the edge NOT cut. Some fabrics have a more finished selvage edge than others, for example velvet versus cotton knit.
What is knit and woven?
The difference in woven and knit garments lies in the construction of the fabrics. The knit garment is tougher and better able to withstand wear, but the woven garment has the ability to be more versatile in it's construction. The woven garment is the most common in clothing construction. Because of the ability to cut the material and shape it by means of sewing, it is far more popular in the garment industry. Material made by weaving is thinner as a rule and is not prone to raveling in handling. This allows the garment maker to cut shapes that are not ordinarily available to the knitted garment. Garments made by this method can be embellished by any number of add on items such as buttons, woven in patterns, or different types of lace and contrasting materials sewn to the fabric. The knitted garment is softer and more supple because its thread is treated differently. Knitted is produced by using needles to pull threads up through the preceding threads to produce fabric. Items such as sweaters and stockings are made by the knitting method and will readily "give" in response to pressure of the body. The disadvantage to the knit garment is that it is easily damaged by pulling of one thread in the garment which will distort or even destroy the garment. Examples of this problem is seen by the "run" in stockings and "pulls" in a sweater. For a more complete look at the material construction of the two methods, see the links.
What properties does woven fabric have?
Woven fabric is strong and durable due to the interlocking of yarns at right angles. It has low elasticity, providing stability and shape retention. Woven fabrics tend to have a more structured appearance compared to knitted or non-woven fabrics.
How does knitted fabric differ from cloth?
The term cloth generally refers to woven fabric that is formed with a warp and the weft, threads running side to side and up to down. Knitted fabric is formed by a series of interlocking loops and it is more flexible or stretches more than woven fabric.
What is the difference between kniting and woven?
Woven fabric is usually done on a loom by weaving threads of fabric together to make a full piece. The problem is the edges are usually free unless you sew along them to secure them in place. Also because of the way it's made it's only stretchy on the bias meaning in a diagonal direction. Knit fabric however is done by knitting threads together so instead of the threads being perpendicular like in the woven fabric they're actually integrated into each other by forming loops. This allows knitted fabric to be stretched in any direction since it's much looser than woven fabric.
What is the difference between bonded woven?
Bonded fabric refers to a material made by bonding two or more fabrics together, creating a single piece. Woven fabric, on the other hand, is made by interlacing two sets of yarn at right angles. While bonded fabric may incorporate woven fabrics, it can also include non-woven materials like knits or felts.
Is linen a good choice for dining chairs?
Linen material is loosely woven and so it stretches. You would be better off using a more tightly woven fabric.
