What is the difference between a horizontal sewing machine and a vertical sewing machine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It relates to the orientation of the hook (the part under the bed that catches the top thread to create the lock stitch) to the needle. Horizontal machines often have a 'fixed' bobbin case that the user doesn't remove, and utilize a drop-in type of bobbin, whereas vertical machines have removable bobbin cases that the user must insert the bobbin into, then insert the filled bobbin case into the machine.

Horizontal bobbins usually hold a lot more thread and make it easier to replace the bobbin without having to remove the work, therefore you will commonly find this type in industrial applications.

How do you cut a 90 inch round table cloth down to a 70 in round table cloth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since round table cloths are measured on the diameter, not the circumference, you would fold it in half twice, measure 35 inches (half of 70) from the center of the cloth, add 1 1/2 inches for the hem, and that is where you start your cut.

You don't measure up from the bottom because you can't be sure if they added the hem before or after their measurement.
