What fabrics do you use for making shirts?
100% ringspun cotton is super soft and works really well to give t-shirt a great fit. A blend of 50% cotton & 50% polyester works too. If you're adding graphics to the shirt, both of these fabrics are good choices, as the printing looks great on the material.

What is the value of a vintage singer sewing machine model 66-16 made in 1947?
It all depends . . .
Is it in a plastic or a wood case?
Is it in poor, good, or excellent condition?
Is it portable or mounted in a sewing desk?
The 66 is not rare, or anything like that, and it is not a really popular machine.
I would say $50 for a portable in decent shape, and up to $150 for a desk-mounted machine in decent condition. I would ask $250, which is ridiculous, but some people who don't know Singers might pay that if the machine is in really good condition and sews very well.
What is a Knit King Jac 40 Accessory used for it is listed as Brother Knitting Machine Accessory?
The Jac 40 is an accessory for jacqard and knit-in two color work on a standard gauge (4.5 MM) knitting machine. It uses punch cards and patterns over as man as 40 stitches. with a punch card installed in the Jac 40, you activate a lever which moves pins out to match tne card. You then use those pins (holding the Jac 40 behind the working needles of your KM) and push the needles forward then knit one row with two colors in your yarn feeder. Then with a click, you move the Jack 40 card forward and select the next row of pins with which you move the next group of KM needs forward for the second row of two color knitting.
It sounds more complex than it is, once you do it. Instead of moving needles forward manually one at a time for patterns larger than your machine can do (if you don't have an electronic machine), you can use the Jac 40.

Where can you find out how much an antique singer sewing machine is?
There are many factors that would play into determining a price for the machine. How "old" are we talking? early nineteen hundreds treadle? or early 1990's domestic? What kind of condition is it in; has it developed rust and a worn finish from sitting out in a garage. Does the machine still work and are all original parts still in tact? Does it have a wooden cabinet? A working 1949 model in excellent condition is listed on eBay for $1599.99 just for an idea.

Sewing up the cervix keeping the baby in place long is it pain ful or harmful to the baby?
When a woman's cervix is weak (sometimes called an incompetent cervix) she is more likely to have a baby born prematurely because the cervix shortens or opens too early. In order to prevent premature labor, a woman's doctor may recommend a cervical cerclage. A cerclage is used to prevent these early changes in a woman's cervix, thus preventing premature labor. A closed cervix helps a developing baby stay inside the uterus until the mother reaches 37-38 weeks of pregnancy. Treatment for cervical incompetence is a surgical procedure called cervical cerclage, in which the cervix is sewn closed during pregnancy. The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus and extends into the vagina.
Who invented the modern hypodermic needle?
Forms of intravenous injection and infusion began as early as 1670. However, Charles Gabriel Pravaz and Alexander Wood were the first to develop a syringe with a needle fine enough to pierce the skin in 1853.
Benjamin A. Rubin invented the "Pronged Vaccinating and Testing Needle" or vaccination needle. This was a refinement to the conventional syringe needle.
In 1955, Roehr Products introduced a plastic disposable hypodermic syringe called the Monoject.
The microneedle device is a painless alternative to the needle and syringe. Mark Prausnitz, a chemical engineering professor from the Georgia Institute of Technology teamed together with electrical engineer Mark Allen to develop the prototype microneedle device, which looks like the nicotine quit smoking patch. The microneedle is made up of 400 silicon-based microscopic needles, each the width of a human hair. The tiny, hollow needles are so small, that any medication can be delivered through the skin without reaching the nerve cells that create pain. Microelectronics within the device would control the time and dosage of the medicine delivered.

Why are pin cushions in the shape of a tomato?
People used to believe that placing a ripe tomato on the mantel when first entering a new home guaranteed future prosperity. Since tomatoes were not available year-round until recently, families moving into new homes often substituted round balls of red fabric stuffed with sawdust or sand. These balls were also used as pincushions, which explains--if you ever wondered--why your grandmother's pincushion looked like a tomato.
