How do you calculate fabrics yards from gsm?
Easy formula for calculate gsm as below,
GSM= (EPI/Warp count*1.1)+(PPI/Weft count*1.04)*23.5
Suppose: Fabric is 20x20/60x60
Calculate:
(60/20x1.1)+(60/20x1.04)x23.5 =(3.3+3.12)x23.5=6.42x23.5=150.87
So, GSM is 150.87maximum
Hopefully you get it.

Modal is a licensed fiber by Lenzing. It's part of the rayon family. Modal is made from beech wood, grown on tree farms that practice sustainability. The Modal manufacturing process uses fewer chemicals and less water, and produces less waste than traditional rayon processes. it's often used in woven fabrics, but as a jersey knit it is wonderfully soft and can be used as you would use any other jersey fabric. It makes especially nice high-end tee shirts, innerwear and loungewear. It is softer than regular rayon jersey.
How do you replace perished stitching on a leather jacket?
to stich leather you should do a blanket stitch do the stiches closely together but never stich in the same spot make shure you redu yoyure stich if it is further apart then 2 cm . always go over your work so you can redu any mistakes.
Flannels tend to stretch very badly....so my tip would be to pin good and when pressing, be careful not to pull out of shape....no steam, just press down and hold. Always, always pre-wash flannel. It shrinks at different percentages. Keep this in mind when buying so you don't come up short.
Be sure to check the width before buying if you need an exact amount of something. Some flannel is quite narrow compared to other fabrics.

How much is a singer touch n sew model 609 worth?
According to one repair person I took mine to, it is worth $50 and not worth repairing. I took it to another dealer and it will cost $75 to repair it. I think it's well worth it since all the attachments and the manual are intact and it works just fine. Feed dogs are broken and there is a gear that needs to be replaced, otherwise it has worked fine since 1973.
The value of this sewing machine is approximately zero ($0.00). There is nothing wrong with that particular make or model. Ninety-nine percent of these older, electro-mechanical sewing machines aren't worth anything because the cost of having it serviced approaches or exceeds the price of a NEW machine from a discount store. A new $89 machine will do everything the old one does and more. An old machine that has been stored away for years always requires service, even though it appears to sew ok for a quick test. All the grease and oil which lubricated the machine has either hardened or turned to varnish. This gunk has to be cleaned out and the machine lubricated else the machine will jam and break threads on the first project. Although older machines might be constructed from mostly metal, this alone doesn't make them "better" than a new machine having a lot of plastic parts. Mass produced, consumer goods from yesteryear have all same short comings of modern mass produced, consumer goods. They cut corners to save cost. You don't find out what these corners are until you have a problem. You are unlikely to break a new machine but if you do then you can take it back. Breaking an old machine will lead you down a path of frustration. You'll discover that the "all metal" machine has little plastic gears and a rubber timing belt, both of which have become fragile with age. This is why there is little to no market for old sewing machines. When you own an old sewing machine that you must get rid of, feel satisfied if you find it a good home; otherwise it will end up in a landfill. Of course, you can always stick it to someone by asking a high price for the machine than laying in wait for someone who doesn't know how to value such items. This happens all the time in antique stores.

Crewel fabric is a hand-crocheted embroidery fabric. The embrodery is done using a woolen yarn on a cotton, silk, velvet, linen or jute ground fabric. Crewel work fabrics are mainly used for drapery and upholstery. Other uses include making bedspreads, pillows and throws
Crewel fabric may be used to cover chairs or sofas and even made into table runners. All our fabrics in cotton and cotton-velvet are Upholstery grade. Crewel fabric finds use in making apparels also.Colors add to the variety of crewel fabric; besides white, you may find black, navy, maroon, cream, beige and other background colors used. Embroidery may be single color, 3 shades of one color or a range of colors (multicolor). Embroidery yarn is mostly wool; either 1-ply or 2-ply.
2-ply wool embroidery is costlier than 1-ply but provides a better finish as it is finer of the two and covers lesser surface per stitch. ArtSilk (synthetic silk) is also employed sometimes for embroidery yarn.
Prices of crewel fabrics may start around 20 US Dollars per yard with no possible guess on a maximum, depending on the fabric, amount of embroidery work and type of embroidery yarn (1 or 2-ply). Crewel Fabric is available in many widths with 52 inches being the most common. Length is 20 to 35 yards per bolt.

Why do you need extra fabric when using napped fabric?
Fabrics such as corduroy or velvet are napped. The color will look different when turned in different directions. You have to be able to lay all pattern pieces going the same direction or your garment will look as though it were made of different fabrics.
You would need to measure the area to be stitched in order to know the length of time it would take to stitch that area.
What are the properties of terycot fabric?
The dye uptake of Terylene (TCI) subjected to dry and live-steam heat can be characterised by a constant defined as the uptake divided by the square root of time (A/t), as in equations for diffusion. This constant is found to decrease to a minimum with increase in temperature of dry heating and then to increase to a value greater than that for the unheated yarn at high temperatures of preheating. Steam preheating also affects the constant and, at the higher temperatures of steam heating, shows similar tendencies to those found for dry heat but to a less extent. These results were obtained under conditions that allow free shrinkage during dyeing. However, if dyeing is carried out with the material under tension, although the general tendency is the same, the dye-uptake constant is greater than that for the corresponding samples dyed in the absence of tension and is greater than that of the unheated yarn for most of the samples. Measurement of parameters indicative of structural changes in fibres, e.g. moisture regain, density, X-ray orientation and X-ray lateral order, shows that these variations in dyeing properties cannot be explained on the basis of a fringe-micellar network theory of structure. An explanation is advanced which postulates a structure with rod-like morphological units separated by narrow voids, the size, amount and tortuosity of which govern the accessibility of the dye.
What is a product used to make fabric stiff?
Liquid Starch A garment can be starched during ironing by damping it with a starch solution and then ironing the garment dry. Starch can be bought in ready to use liquid or a dry form that is added to water. I have even made my own liquid by soaking a clean chopped potato in water and then using the water which has absorbed some of the potato starch, but this gives variable results and should be tested on a non-precious item first. :-) Starched clothing gets less stiff as it flexes during wear, and perspiration softens the starching. Starching needs to be redone after each wash.
During construction (sewing etc) a garment can have interfacing or additional layers of fabric added to areas that require stiffening. These can be adhesive iron-on interfacing or tack stitched in place. Typical locations that have stiffening are collars, lapels, cuffs and waistbands. Cheap clothing often has the stiffening omitted and doesn't sit neatly when worn.

Twill is fabric that has a diagonal pattern. It is actually woven in such a way as to create diagonal "ribs" in the fabric itself (not just colored diagonal lines). Think of cordoroy - that is a fabric with a vertical (up and down) pattern woven into it. Twill is diagonal weaving. If a twill fabric has extra "give" so that it can expand (stretch), it is a stretch twill.
Stretch twill often refers to the fabric having a small percentage of lycra/spandex in it, usually 2-4%.
