  • Rolled Edge Napkins Created By: Melinda Stephenson
    Beginning Serging: Rolled Edge Napkins Created by: Melinda Stephenson One of the most often used stitches on your serger, apart from the four thread overlock, is the rolled edge. This works beautifully on napkins, as well as for hemming difficult to hem, slippery chiffon. To learn how to serge a rolled hem, start with either 100% cotton, 100% linen or a cotton/linen blend. These natural fabrics work best for napkins as they absorb moisture. Polyester or any synthetic fabric blends are not recommended for making napkins— they just don’t absorb as well. Supplies: • Cotton or linen squares cut to 18 or 20” • Scrap fabric cut from the same linen or cotton • 2 cones serger thread • 1 cone Wooly Nylon • Seam sealant (Fray-Check) 3. Set Tension: • Instruction manual a. Right needle: Normal • Optional: clear wash-away stabilizer b. Upper Looper: 2-3 (check your owner’s manual) Machine Set-up c.

  • Skinny Scarves by SUSAN BECK
    This article originally appeared in Through the Needle ONLINE Issue 9 Skinny Scarves by SUSAN BECK These long, narrow scarves made of t-shirt knit or sheer fabric are fast to make and fun to wear – one, two, or even three at a time! They’re a great item to make for craft fairs and bazaars – and they also make great gifts! Directions Cut a rectangle of fabric 10” wide and 3 yards long. Note: The more lightweight the fabric, the wider the scarf can be (12”-14”). If the fabric has more bulk, you can cut it very narrow (6”-8”). Thread the serger for a 3-thread rolled hem, adjusting the tensions as directed in your user manual. Generally, the needle tension will be normal, the upper looper tension will be loose, and the lower tension will be tight. Sew a sample on fabric scraps to decide if the resulting rolled edge looks the way you want it to. Adjust the settings as needed. Different fabric types and weights may require different tension adjustments for the perfect rolled edge. Serge all four edges of the scarf, starting at one end and serging off the opposite end, and trimming the edge slightly as you go. Supplies • 3 yards of lightweight, sheer, or single knit fabric in polyester, cotton, rayon, or silk (yardage will make 4-6 scarves) • Serger with 2- or 3-thread rolled hem capabilities • Three cones or spools of fine (60-weight) thread to match or blend with the fabric • Seam sealant Tip: Hold your hand lightly on the fabric to the left of Option 3: To wear the foot to make sure the fabric is going under the two or three scarves needle and not falling away after it passes the knife.

    The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laada Bilaniuk, Chair Ann Anagnost, Chair Stevan Harrell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2016 Ge Jian University of Washington Abstract The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology My dissertation is an ethnographic study of the language politics and practices of college- age English language learners in Xinjiang at the historical juncture of China’s capitalist development. In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang.

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami‖s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.
