It means to sew something a bit short, or shy, of a given measurement, such as to sew a scant 1/4" seam.

In occupied Japan in the 1940's

Use heavy polyesther thread.

I just paid $40 for one... it's not in amazing condition (kind of dirty/rusty on the outside). But it works.

Jewelry wire is a great wire to use when making a plush toy that you would like to have a lot of mobility.

Widely available and very inexpensive, jewelry wire is a great option. Depending on how mobile you would like the plush to be, and how frequently it will be used, 18-20 gauge wire will be best. You can find jewelry wire at most craft stores and big box stores, it is sold on spools.

You can use your fingers or pliers to bend the wire. You will want to use wire cutters to cut the wire.

To prevent the ends of the wire from poking through the outer fabric of your plush toy, wrap the cut ends of the wire around pliers to make a loop. This will keep the wire from poking out, and give extra stability to paws or feet. Also, you can hand-stitch these loops in place to keep the wire from moving inside the plush.

Add the wire before stuffing your toy, then carefully stuff around the wire. You will find this is easier if you have added some stitches to hold the wire in place first. If you plan to firmly stuff your toy, you may want to use more than one wire, or very firm wire.

This would be very fun to do with a stuffed snake. Make a simple snake, add a wire through the center, then stuff. You can then wear the stuffed toy as an accessory by wrapping the snake around your wrist, ankle, or strap of your handbag.

Since this question is in the sewing section, I assume you want the meaning of pueblo as a stitching terms. In the sewing community, Pueblo refers to any product that is produced in the Pueblo region of the United States. Most of these products are produced using the weaving techniques of the Pueblo Native Americans.

There is one specific stitch that is recognized as Pueblo, the twinned running stitch. This stitch is woven under and over, under and over each cross thread, and twinned by running another thread over and under, the opposite threads.

This is the thread count, when the cotton is constructed, if counted the number of squares in a inch of the said fabric you would have 60, hence the term 60 square.

The higher the thread count the finer the fabric, so up goes the quality, and price,

A good quality cotton fabric would be a percale quality, around 500 thread count.

According to Ian's shoelace site, you don't need a tool. There are many ways of fastening aglets, for plastic, you simply wrap, and melt. For more info, see the link I have provided.

One yard of fabric is 36 inches. Bolts come in two sizes: 44 inches, and 54 inches. If you need a piece of fabric that is 29 inches x 53 inches, you'll need 29 inches of fabric, or 7/8 of a yard.

Thread is generally used for sewing.

Yes, but untreated is is liable to shrinkage.

A chainstitch uses one thread (needle thread) which is looped around itself after the needle pushes it through the fabric, forming a stitch that looks like a chain on the underside of the fabric. A lock stitch uses two threads. The needle thread is above the fabric and the bobbin thread is below the fabric. After the needle pushes the upper thread through the fabric, the hook loops the bobbin thread over the needle thread, "locking" it so it will not be drawn back through the fabric when the needle is raised. Zig zag refers to the stitch where the needle alternates left and right as it sews. A zig zag stitch could be either a chainstitch or a lockstitch.

If your fabric is 45" wide then I would go for a yard (36"): cut three (3) 10" strips from selvage edge to selvage edge; then cut each strip into five (5) 8" lengths. This all depends upon if your fabric has a nap or pattern. If you need to reverse the lay out, then: cut four (4) 8" strips from selvage edge to selvage ddge; then cut each strip into rour (4) 10" lengths, leaving one extra.
