Sewing

Not even nudists are against sewing, although it would be prohibited on the Sabbath for Jews.

Yes, feel free. I always do.

I bought mine in 1979. Great machine. I used it to sew a bunch of Frost Line kits; snow ski clothes, a back pack and down sleeping bag, etc.

Check at Singerco.com. They have free downloads of most of their models.

Looking closely at a square of fabric, you will see a thread that runs vertically and a thread that runs horizontally, this is galled the grain of the fabric.

Bias cut fabric is fabric that is cut diagonally to the grain. In other words, if you cut off a corner and then cut another strip at the same diagonal, say 2 1/2 inches wide, you will have a bias cut fabric. this strip of fabric can then be folded taking both outer edges toward the center and then folded again in half. It can be used to finish anything from blankets, quilts garments etc. as it is very bendable and pliable because it stretches as a result of being cut on the bias.

Supplies for class:

* Dressmakers shears - 8 inch to 10 inch pair - to only cut fabric with

* Scissors to cut paper

* Small "snippers" - used to cut thread - a convenience, not a necessity at

this point

* Clear ruler - see-though makes it easy to lay out a pattern correctly but

any ruler will work. Ideally an 18 inch clear acrylic ruler is best but we

can certainly make due with a 12 inch ruler

* Tape measure - a good quality one that will not stretch and has

measurements clearly marked on both sides

* Pin cushion

* Dressmaker's pins - long pins with plastic heads - quilting pins would be

fine - pins should have colored heads because they are easier to use

* Fabric marking pens - air and water soluble

* Hand sewing needles - a package of assorted multi-sized needles

* Sewing machine needles - size 14 - it is possible that a few will be

broken

* Bobbins and a case to hold them - check to see what your type your machine

uses

* Thread - all-purpose cotton thread - white and black for now, thread to match

projects will be purchased with fabric later

* Seam ripper

* Seam gauge - a 6 inch metal ruler with a sliding tab - sometimes called a

measuring gauge and newer versions have a short sliding ruler in place of

tab - either one is fine

* Thimble - optional, some people don't like to use these

* Needle threader - optional - some people need them, others don't

* Fray Check - just what the name implies - it helps prevent fraying

* Point turner

* 3-ring binder - 1 inch

* A sewing box, plastic tub, or even a shoe box, to keep supplies in.

Supplies to add as you can:

* Pinking shears - not necessary but helpful

* Yard stick

* Dressmaker's tracing wheel and tracing paper - used to transfer markings

form the pattern to the fabric

* Tailor's chalk - the dry powdery type - used for marking

* Pressing cloth - a thin cotton dishtowel will work

* Beeswax - used to strengthen thread

* Interfacing - used between layers of fabric to add a small amount of

stiffness - (Intermediate class)

* Spray bottle - to be used at the ironing board

* Lint brush - used for cleaning tight places on sewing machine - your

machine may have come with one

* Large safety pins - used to pull elastic through casing

The simplest stitches in regular use. You can find a guide to the U.S. stitch names at the Annie's craft store website.

i expect it means, the same as ditch stitching, say you have put a band on a skirt, well where the band meets the skirt, right at that line, sew , so that you don't notice it...good luck

A double stem stitch is stitching but doing it with double stitches you stich normally with double wool

Some people sew because they want a finished product, like a shirt or quilt. Other people sew because they enjoy working on their sewing projects. Other people sew because they enjoy sewing with other people.

A sequins sewing machine is one that is used to sew sequins onto fabric. Embroidery thread should not break while using it in one since it is fairly strong.

Not realy! But you can do this trick that alot of artists do just make a diny little differance to it but an unnoticeable one then your all good. Hope i helped

A balance wheel does the job, but of course you could use the on/off button. I know that that is not a choice on your multiple choice question though because I was on the same one.

A bmach machine, often referring to a specific type of machinery or equipment, can typically be found in industrial settings, manufacturing facilities, or specialized workshops. Depending on its purpose, it may also be available at construction sites or among businesses that require heavy machinery. For personal or small-scale use, bmach machines may be available for rent at equipment rental stores or through online marketplaces. Always check local listings or industrial supply websites for availability.
