Sewing

They are called the feed dogs

Because of the way that fabric is woven out of thread, it can easily come apart into its constituent threads at the edge of the fabric. The zigzag shape of an edge makes it slightly harder for the fabric to come apart.

The shears are called "Pinking Shears"

You will need a double-needle sewing machine to sew two lines at once. Some basic sewing machines have the capability to do double-needle sewing, but most do not. Most double-needle sewing machines are commercial or industrial grade and are quite expensive ($600-$2,000+).

For some examples of double-needle sewing machines, click the 'related links' below.

A good way to control the unused portion of the fabric on a large piece is to use the same method quilters use. You need to take the portion you are not currently working on, and roll up the fabric to the working table level. You can tie yard around the roll to hold it together, or use a quilters roll holder which is a round piece of metal with one side open to clasp over the roll. Be sure to use an embroidery hoop large enough to help your work the project.

Many embroidery machine supply shops offer classes to help you learn how to use your machine. It would be a good investment on your future to enroll in one of their classes.

If you're talking about the "silver" circles in the banner, those are called grommets. They are "grown up" versions of the metal circles in gym shoes that you thread your laces through. Grommets are installed with a tool similar to a hole punch only over the "punch" you slip the grommet; when the tool is closed, the hole is punched and the grommet is inserted and compressed.

Every machine has a different code system and it is best to check your owners manuel for exactly what the codes mean. Most manuels can be downloaded off the internet if you can not find the one that came with your machine.

Yes. If you are a novice to sewing, you will find an excellent machine for your needs in this price category manufactured by Brother, Singer and Kenmore. Whether you are crafting, sewing home decorative projects, making quilt tops, or constructing clothing, these machines will do what you need. For example, Brother makes an excellent digital machine with 30 decorative stitches for less than $200.

Expect a machine in this price category to do the basics: straight stitch, zig zag stitch, sewing in a zipper and making simple button holes. Once you have mastered the basics of sewing, you may wish to upgrade to a machine that has more options.

I have a seam ripper that has a brass handle and is part of a set, so I'd rather not toss it. Dremel sells 2 different sized sharpening stones for chainsaws, and the smaller one makes my seam ripper work like new! I put a touch of oil on before I sharpen and it only takes a couple of sweeps. Just something to keep in your back pocket if you have a seam ripper like mine that you'd rather not dispose of.

The Montgomery Ward 7 Jewel Automatic Zig Zag model URR988 Sewing Machine was made in 1943-1947

The "sampler" usually refers to your finished product. Some samplers are small and very simple. Others are larger, and very ornate. But the term is usually used to refer to whatever it is you are working on. The term Cross stitch sampler started hundreds of years ago as young girls in school were learning alphabets and spelling and would use linen to spell out these words. Some added their own design with thread such as monograms, motifs and other touches.

Band samplers are rows of stitches (bands) usually of different specialty stitches such as Algerian Eye, Rhodes, Smyrna etc.

You would need enough fabric to make a circular cloth ten feet in diameter (assuming you mean the tabletop is a circle eight feet in diameter - you aren't exactly clear on that - whether the tabletop is 8 feet in diameter or 8 feet in circumference).

Polartec is a registered trademark for a special fabric treatment. Here is a direct quote from their website: " Polartec® fabric technologies are performance features that can be designed into or applied to existing fabrics. By using unique silver yarns in Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics, we can add permanent odor resistance. With yarn selection and different construction techniques, we can create more wind resistant or sun protective fabrics. And with an advanced surface fusion polymer, we can make fabrics more durable and highly water repellant. Many of these technologies can be added to a number of different fabric styles to meet the exact performance needs of clothing manufacturers and consumers. Polartec® technologies help us push the limit of what fabrics and finished garments can accomplish."

The shank on a sewing machine is the distance between the bottom of the preser foot and the screw that holds the presser foot in place. This applies to older sewing machines (usually pre-1980), as newer machines have a presser foot that snaps on, as opposed to screws on.

--A high shank machine measures approximately 1 1/4" from the presser foot screw to the bottom of the foot, and uses High Shank presser feet

--A low shank machine measures approximately 3/4" from the presser foot screw to the bottom of the foot, and uses Low Shank presser feet

I do not believe that there are 'brick and mortar' embroidery schools. There are several online lessons as well as channels on youtube where you can learn to embroider.
