Asked by Wiki User

sewing machine stitches: Straight (or running stitch) zigzag Satin stitch (a very narrow zigzag) back baste blanket buttonhole gather Overlock (serge) stay-stitch (a straight stitch done just inside the seamline to strengthen the seam) Stitch in the ditch (meaning to stitch inside the seam to help hold it down) Many machines have the capablility to sew embroidery stitches by means of special attachments, or the newer ones can be programmed by computer. There are many other kinds of stitches, I have an embroidery dictionary that has over a hundred stitches, and there are similar dictionaries for needlepoint and for cross stitch. I have provided some links to some that can be found online.
Perhaps you meant names of stitchery, such as embroidery, quilting, sewing machine, sewing, cross-stitch, needle art, crochet, knitting, crewel, embellishing, beading, blackwork, and hardinger. There are probably more, but these are the ones that come to mind.

What is worsted weight yarn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The common suggestion is to substitute two strands of sport weight for 1 strand of worsted weight.

However, everyone's tension is different. If your pattern has a gauge, I would suggest you crochet a small swatch and see if the gauge matches, using your tension. If it is too large, there are other variations you can try. 1 strand of fingering or sock yarn with 1 strand of sport or DK yarn, for example. Of course, that would necessitate having or buying more yarn.

Asked by Wiki User

Waterproof fabrics are generally very difficult to sew and need to be stitched by machine instead of by hand. The same qualities that make the fabric resistant to water also make the fabric resistant to the needle and thread.

What is worsted spun yarn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cashmere is a type of wool. Cashmere fibre is collected from cashmere goats. Worsted yarn is the tightly twisted woolen yarn spun from long-staple wool. So a tightly twisted cashmere yarn is called worsted cashmere.

Just as a caution in case you are buying cashmere. There is a wool act which describes what type of wool is marked as cashmere.

Who invented the loom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is hard to put a true date on when the loom or weaving machine was invented.

There is evidence of cloth being made in Mesopotamia and in Turkey as far back as 7000 to 8000. Wool was accessible in Egypt, as well, but was considered a fiber of the lower classes, namely, herdsmen and farmers. Cloth made from wool was thought to be crude and irreverent. Fabric made with cotton was much more acceptable and has been found in Egyptian tombs.

The earliest power loom was probably invented by Edmund Cartwright in 1785.

Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a mechanical loom in 1801, that was programmed with punched cards to weave complex patterns.

Successful power looms were in operation in England by the early 1800s, to improve on American output Francis Cabot Lowell spied on the new British textile industry. The British drawings or a model of a power loom, so he memorized the workings of British power looms.

With Paul Moody he recreated and develop an adaptation of the British design.

What is the difference between staple yarn and filament yarn including their textures?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, thread is ultra fine fiber that can be passed through a sewing needle eye. To confuse matters, there is a yarn weight called 'thread weight', which is about the same weight as sewing thread.

Otherwise yarn weights are all larger than thread: the diameter of the fiber is larger.
