Consumption in grams= {(L*C) + (C*SL)}*2*GSM/10000 grams (when length units are in centimeter). This is a basic function to find the fabric consumption of a knit t-shirt. The key is C= Chest, L= length of the body measure, SL= Sleeve length , B=Biceps , GSM = fabric weight in grams per square meter. Be sure to include the allowances in all fabric measurements.

Simply 'Thumb Holes'.

Feeder Stripes have a small repeat of the stripe design, which generally fits within 1.9 inches.

Auto stripes have larger repeats of the stripes; for example, more than 1.9 inches.

Engineered stripes have a design of the stripes which is not repeated in the garment. The size of the repeat depends on the size of the garment. Where one repeat ends in the fabric during knitting, the next garment starts.

It really depends on which variation/model you have and condition. Send me an email with pictures at jomax9@hotmail.com and I can help with you manikin vendor baker boy machine.

Good Qustion. I went to the School of Art to study Interior Design but was advised by a year tutor that this metier was not for me and that I should study something involving two-dimensional design...like mural pailting. I had been very intrigued by the presentation made by Katleen Whyte the legendary embroiderer and elected to study with her and the rest, as they say, is history!

The Department of Labor states that full-time vs. part-time is completely at the discretion of the employer. There is no set guideline.

For example, a company can require a minimum 40 hours as full-Time and anything below that as part-time. Another company can consider anything over 30 hours as full-time
