  • Tailoring Series TECHNIQUES for TAILORING UNDERLINING a TAILORED GARMENT—Underlining Is a Second Layer of Fabric. It Is Cut By
    tailoring series TECHNIQUES FOR TAILORING UNDERLINING A TAILORED GARMENT—Underlining is a second layer of fabric. It is cut by the garment pattern pieces and staystitched to the wrong side of the corresponding outer sections before any seams are joined. The two layers are then handled as one. As a general guide, most suit jackets and coats look more pro- fessional when underlined. Underlining is especially recommended for lightweight wool materials, loosely woven materials and light- colored materials. For additional information on selecting fabrics for underlining and applying the underlining, see Lining a Shirt 01' Dress HE 72, N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. STAYSTITCHING—Staystitch all outer garment pieces before construction begins. If garment is underlined, stays-titching is done when the two layers of fabric are sewn together. Staystitch 1/3 in. outside seamline (on the seam allowance). Stay- stitch “ with matching cotton thread on all curved *areas that may stretch during construction such as necklines, side seams, shoulder seams, armholes, and side seams of skirt. Use directional stitching always to prevent stretching of fabric and to prevent one layer of fabric from riding. The direction to stitch is indicated by small arrows on the pattern on the seamlines. INTERFACINGS—Select a high quality hair canvas for the front and collar of coats and jackets. The percentage of wool indicates the quality—the higher the wool content of the canvas the better the quality. Since a high percentage of wool makes the hair canvas fairly dark in color, it cannot be used successfully under light-colored fabrics. In these cases use an interfacing lighter in color and lower in wool content.

  • Flexible Supports
    MATERIALS INFORMATION and TECHNICAL RESOURCES for ARTISTS - Flexible Supports There are pros and cons to all solid and flexible supports. Generally speaking, an ideal support will be able to withstand fluctuations in RH and temperature, possess an adequate level of absorbency and/or tooth, and will not become brittle or fragile with age. One drawback that is often associated with flexible supports is that they are more susceptible to being damaged by physical contact (e.g. tears, impact cracks, punctures, etc.) In addition, flexible supports are more likely to respond to changes in the environment, giving rise to draws in the corners, an overall loss of tension, and other planar deformations. Such damages can lead to both short and long term condition issues and can affect the stability of the paint and ground layers. Because of these issues, artists are highly encouraged to affix protective backing boards to the reverse of their paintings. Rigid supports, on the other hand, are less likely to withstand physical damage. Although some will still react to changes in the environment (e.g. warping, cracking, etc.), there are steps that artists can take to mitigate these problems. One such method is to adhere a fabric support over the face of the rigid panel. This allows the paint/ground layers to remain somewhat flexible should the rigid support exhibit warping and/or cracking. Rigid supports can also be cradled, particularly if they are large in size, to counteract possible warping or other types of planar deformations. FLEXIBLE SUPPORTS Canvas The use of fabric supports for painting dates to Greek and Roman times.

  • Pacific Colonisation and Canoe Performance: Experiments in the Science of Sailing
    PACIFIC COLONISATION AND CANOE PERFORMANCE: EXPERIMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OF SAILING GEOFFREY IRWIN University of Auckland RICHARD G.J. FLAY University of Auckland The voyaging canoe was the primary artefact of Oceanic colonisation, but scarcity of direct evidence has led to uncertainty and debate about canoe sailing performance. In this paper we employ methods of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis of sailing routinely used in naval architecture and yacht design, but rarely applied to questions of prehistory—so far. We discuss the history of Pacific sails and compare the performance of three different kinds of canoe hull representing simple and more developed forms, and we consider the implications for colonisation and later inter-island contact in Remote Oceania. Recent reviews of Lapita chronology suggest the initial settlement of Remote Oceania was not much before 1000 BC (Sheppard et al. 2015), and Tonga was reached not much more than a century later (Burley et al. 2012). After the long pause in West Polynesia the vast area of East Polynesia was settled between AD 900 and AD 1300 (Allen 2014, Dye 2015, Jacomb et al. 2014, Wilmshurst et al. 2011). Clearly canoes were able to transport founder populations to widely-scattered islands. In the case of New Zealand, modern Mäori trace their origins to several named canoes, genetic evidence indicates the founding population was substantial (Penney et al. 2002), and ancient DNA shows diversity of ancestral Mäori origins (Knapp et al. 2012). Debates about Pacific voyaging are perennial. Fifty years ago Andrew Sharp (1957, 1963) was sceptical about the ability of traditional navigators to find their way at sea and, more especially, to find their way back over long distances with sailing directions for others to follow.

  • APEN PENTEX LAMINATES Contender Sailcloth Is Pleased to Introduce a Completely New Laminate Using the New, Break-Through Fiber PENTEX
    APEN PENTEX LAMINATES Contender Sailcloth is pleased to introduce a completely new laminate using the new, break-through fiber PENTEX. Developed for the tire and mechanical rubber markets, PENTEX fiber has several features that make it well suited for sailcloth applications. As a close cousin to regular polyester (PET), fibers made from PENTEX polymer exhibit excellent resistance to flex fatigue and general toughness. They also are more resistant to UV radiation, maintaining more of their original strength for a longer time. This means added sail life in areas where the sun is strong. APEN Styles feature 100% PENTEX constructions including warp, fill and off-angle. New wider angle PENTEX grid for smoother panel transitions and greate fabric stability. NEW Contender now offers PENTEX laminates with taffeta, for increased durability and a wider range of applications. PENTEX fibers also provide a significant performance increase compared to even the high tenacity styles of regular polyester. PENTEX modulus is 2 ½ times higher than PET and since modulus is a measure of a fibers bility to resist stretching, sails made with PEN fibers will stretch less and hold their designed shape longer. Now for the first time, sailors can enjoy increased performance in a fiber without compromising the durability of their sails. Lower stretch, better UV resistance, and great flex strength all add up to improved sail performance. Contender has tested the APEN laminates on the water in both Europe and Australia with very successful results. Low stretch performance
