    Mending as Practice and Expression Pocosin Arts Online - August 2021 Material Suggestions I want this experience to ft with what you have on hand and what you want to learn! I will link to sources of some supplies I like below, but there is no need to purchase anything unless you want to and think you will use it. You can also check the links to compare supplies to those you may already have. And of course you can get supplies anywhere you like. The most important thing you will need is some fabric scraps or worn-out textles to practce mending on (not your absolute favorite thing to start with). There are two broad categories of fabrics, based on how they are made; woven (like jeans, dress shirts, and sheets) and knited (like sweaters, socks, and T-shirts). We will talk a lot more about these in class. Each type lends itself to somewhat diferent tools and techniques. If you can, I encourage you to fnd a few scraps of each type to practce on, ideally in fabrics that are similar to the items you want to mend. These will also be a good source of material to cut patches from. I will be in touch before our class starts to fnd out about the projects you want to work on. For now, here are some general suggestons of materials and tools you may want to have on hand. In the meantme, feel free to contact me with any questons! [email protected] Threads You may want to use anything from sewing thread to wool yarn in your mending, depending on what you want to fx.

  • OT Fact Sheet: Sewing Thread
    Sewing Thread – Textile and Wearing Apparel Overview This provision refers to articles of clothing in Chapters 61 and 62 that must be assembled using sewing thread of the Parties to the Agreement. The provision applies to the component that determines the tariff classification of the good and such component must satisfy the tariff change requirements set out in the rule for that good. This is a new provision under the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and there is no such provision in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Processing: sewing thread is considered formed and finished in the territory of one or more Parties if all production processes and finishing operations, starting with the extrusion of filaments, strips, film or sheet, and including slitting a film or sheet into strip, or the spinning of all fibers into yarn, or both, and ending with the finished single or plied thread ready for use for sewing without further processing, took place in the territories of one or more of the USMCA countries even if non-originating fiber is used in the production of sewing thread of heading 52.04, 54.01 or 55.08, or yarn of heading 54.02 used as sewing thread References • USMCA • NAFTA o Final Text: Chapter 4, Annex 4-B, Section XI o No provision. o HTSUS: Chapter 61, Note 3 and Chapter 62, Note 4 o General Note 11 Significant Changes in USMCA Provision USMCA NAFTA Sewing New provision in USMCA. • No provision.

  • Sashiko - How To
    Sashiko - How to Basic materials: (1) Fabric : Flat-woven, loose-woven Cotton or cotton/Linen. (2) Waxed carbon paper for transferring pattern (Chacopy© from Clover Co.ltd.,) (3) Soft Tracing Wheel or Tracer Pen (both from Clover Co.Ltd.,) (4) Mid-weight sheet protectors (5) Sashiko needles (6) Thread: Sashiko thread, or Pearl Cotton #8 or #5 Transferring patterns 1). Lay flat the fabric, right side up, and pin the paper pattern on to the fabric. 2). Insert a waxed carbon in between the fabric and the pattern, waxed side down. You may need to take a couple of pins out and place the carbon and re-pin the entire layers. 3). If you would like to protect paper patterns and carbon paper from ripping or damaging by a tracing tool, put a sheet protector on top of paper pattern and pin entire layer. 4). Using a soft edge tracing wheel or Tracer pen, trace the pattern to the fabric. You need to press the wheel down harder to have a clear marking on to the fabric. 5). Carefully remove the pins. The transferred mark will be erased by dabbing with water. The transferred mark will become permanent by applying heat, so do not iron until you are done Sashiko stitching and erase the remaining line with water. How to handle thread One skein of Olympus Sashiko threads is 40 meters long (44 yds). Remove the paper band and open out the skein. Look for the extra loop of thread tied around the skein and cut through all the threads at this point.

  • Sewing Focus Umbrellas
    S EWING F OCUS TECHNICAL SEWING INFORMATION Umbrellas Checklist for Sewing Umbrellas Sewing Parameters: SCHMETZ Tip: Needle size NM SIZE 70 – 110 10 – 18 Depending on the thickness of the material. We recommend the use of the SCHMETZ SERV 7 needle. Needle point In the production of umbrellas, mostly round points of the type “R” and “SPI” are used. Sewing thread In the production of umbrellas, mostly core spun threads made from cotton or polyester are used. They have a core multi filament made from polyester and thus have greater strength. These threads are also available with hydrophobic finishing. Machine Many processes are carried out using industrial high-speed sewing machines with stitch types 301 (double lockstitch) and types of overedge chain stitches (class 500). Several types of automats are also used. Other factors: Thread tension The required thread tension depends on fabric, sewing thread and sewing machine. It should however be kept as low as possible in order to avoid seam puckering. Stitch type Double lockstitch (stitch type 301), single thread chain stitch (stitch type 101) and types of overedge chain stitch (class 500); all stitch types and classes according to DIN 61400. Stitch density The higher the stitch density the higher the elasticity and strength of the seam. The production of umbrellas requires an extremely high stitch density of 7 stitches/cm for the seam to withstand the high tension.
