Click on the type of pants you want, and scroll down to the yardages shown. There is a column heading at the top for size, follow that column to the width of the material (45" or 60") and you will see what the basic fabric amount is.

Bondaweb (known as Wonder Under in the US) is an extra

strong, adhesive web which bonds one fabric to another when

ironed. It is a vilene product which works in the same way as

Wundaweb, is an extra wide 90cm and sold by the metre.

It depends on how big the hole is. If it is a slit, turn the fabric inside out. Line up the two edges, making sure loose threads are on your side. After threading the needle, knotting the thread, begin slightly back from the left edge of the rip. Use a small running stitch, which means, put the needle in and out very close to each entry / exit point. Try to make all stitches of even length and tension--do not pull too tightly on the thread and keep the rip flat. At the end, extend one or two stitches past the ripped section. Then, insert the needle and bring it back up with a thread loop on your side. Put the needle through the loop, once, twice, three times and gently pull down toward fabric. Cut the thread leaving at least 2" inches. Separate the threads. Tie them to make a knot. If the hole is wider, so you cannot bring the 2 edges together, you will need to patch it.

The basic supplies you will need are: a pair of scissors, a ruler and a design or template for cutting out the pieces. To piece the quilt, you only need a needle and thread plus a lot of time.

Most quilters today in the United States use a sewing machine to piece together quilts.

If cotton and silk threads are spun and woven in the same manner

The simplest skirt is the peasant skirt. Just cut the fabric the length you want the skirt plus four inches. Assuming a 45" fabric, sew the two selvage edges together.

Turn down the top 1/2 inch, then an additional one inch. and sew all around the waist. Leave a small opening to insert elastic. Cut elastic your waist measurement plus two inches. Insert into the top you have sewn. The sew the two ends of the elastic together.

Now add a two inch hem and you are done.

Normally, the patch work is used in HIGH WAY ROADS and other roads. In the Main road, the holes and other related works are done by the Highway dept. People who make the road fully/completely paste with the help of TAR + SMALL STONES/GULLY to make the road good again We can see many patch works in roads now a days due to heavy rain, etc.

Patchwork means putting something together out of many uneven pieces!

The earliest records of applique are found in 18th century Egypt. A ceremonial canopy that was part of the funeral tent of Queen Esi-mem-Kev, dating to 980 BC, is housed in the Boulak Museum in Cairo, Egypt.

I depends. It's either a sensor, it's wiring, or potentially the control card. Or it may be caused by wrongly positioned mechanisms of the main shaft.

In a thrift store, it will garner between $35 and $50, providing that all the attachments, books and power cord are included AND that the machine is in working order.

The value of this sewing machine is 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.

A ruler is used to measure things. The most common measurements used of rulers are centimeters, millimeter's, meters and inches.

You use it in sewing to measure the length of what you are sewing together.

Hear is some real info. though I will leave my thoughts as they amused me. >"<

I am now an owner of one in it's orig cabinet - it needs work, at least some oil. I am thinking wow, what the heck am I going to do with this mechanical marvel?

Thoughts, clean up the furniture find a use for it. Take the machine out & Craigslist it for free. for uses such as parts or perhaps a boat anchor?

Okay after looking at it closer, it does work and is in good condition. It needs oil in many places but looks pretty bullet prof. Whats it worth? I personally don't have a problem with free - the whole setup is good for learning to use one perhaps, or a seamstress living in a trailer? Someone wants it, I will find it a home, It's to cool to destroy.

Because you don't get enough oxygen and energy

This a pain, but here's how you do it. First remove the cuff. If it's a turn up cuff, then release the stitches holding it in place. This includes the tacking at the seams, and the hem stitching. If it's a sewn on cuff, clip the stiches, and lay the cuff aside. Then measure the pants and cut them to length, reserving 1/2 inch for seam allowances. Reattach the cuff if it is sewn on. If you must make a new cuff from the material of the pants, leave two inches extra to the pants. Turn the cuffs under 1 1/2 inch, and hem. Then flip the cuff up and out over the length of the pants and tack the cuff at the seams. Iron and wear.

Chiffon is one of thinnest fabrics. It's a sheer silk (or poly) fabric, usually used for clothing or window treatments.

A pattern is pinned onto fabric, then cut around.

Check the yellow pages for "yarn." You should find any local knitting shops located nearby that way.

Knitting needles can also be found at most craft stores, such as Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics, or Hobby Lobby.

When fabric is pre-shrunk, the consumer can have greater confidence that the fit they can test in the store is the same fit they will experience after they wash a garment. Prior to pre-shrinking, cotton and other shrinking fabrics required a consumer to guess as to how much larger the garment should fit at the store, to be a good fit after laundering
