Quilting Classroom 8.00 Am Quilting Classroom Jennie Rayment 10th April 2015 8.00 am Tools & Equipment Transform your sewing machine mat to a tidy tote, change a portable baby changing mat to a neat carry case, turn an ironing pad into a easy to cart caddy - it’s all here in today’s Classroom. Remember to record the show! Sewing machine Thread to match Fabrics Rotary Cutter 28/45/60 mm Cutting Mat 17 x 23” Acrylic Ruler - 24.5 x 6.5” Eazy Heart Acrylic template Petal Pattern Acrylic Template Square in a Square Acrylic Template Hobbs batting (Crib size) regular Hobbs batting (Crib size) fusible Boxall Craf-tex - heavyweight fusible Notions Pins Hook and Loop Fastener 25 mm Sew Easy or Clover Bias maker Nursery Zoo Panel Clover mini iron Fabric Products Nursery Zoo Panel Funky Spot Flo Turquoise 1.5m Mini Bolt Mini Cupcake Turquoise 1.5m Mini Bolt Melodic Floral Fat Quarters Windy Daze Fat Quarters Sew-in interfacing Windy Daze Fat Quarters Melodic Floral Fat Quarters Sewing Machine Table Mat Tidy You need: Five Fat Quarters (Three are used for front and front of tidy, two are for Petal Pattern and pockets.) 1. Make front: Trim selvedge from Purple F/Q. Cut 4½ x 21” strip from Multi-patterned F/Q. Sew this strip to one side of Purple F/Q. Press seam open and flat. 2. Make back: Trim selvedge from White & Purple Floral F/Q. Cut 4½ x 21” strip from Multi-patterned F/Q. Sew this strip to one side. Press seam open and flat. 3. From remaining F/Q’s cut eight Petal Pattern shapes. Sew together to form a circle. 4. Lay completed design R/S down on sew-in interfacing. Pin layers. Sew round edge of design keeping close to raw edge. 5. Trim excess interfacing from outer edge. Make small slit in interfacing. Turn design R/S out through slit. Press carefully. 6. Appliqué design to centre of Purple F/Q. Why not select a small decorative stitch or perish the thought stitch it on by hand! 7. Place Tidy front on wadding. Pin in place. 8. Sew round edge of Petal design. This can be done with regular presser foot - no need for walking foot. 9. Sew round outside edge to anchor both layers - use longest machine stitch length. 1 Pocket 1. Using the same F/Q fabrics as for Petal Pattern, cut a 4¼” square from one F/Q and four 2½ x 4¼”strips from second F/Q. 2. Sew one strip to each side of 4¼” square. 3. Place ‘Square in a Square’ template on top, aligning centre of square with centre of design. Trim excess fabric to edge of template. 4. Repeat Stages 5 - 8 and make three more squares. Join all four to make a long band. Be a little careful as the sides of these blocks are on the bias and may stretch. Pin carefully. 5. From Multi-patterned F/Q cut one 6½ x 21” strip. Attach to one side of pocket strip. 6. Fold R/S out. Align raw edges. Press well. 7. Place pocket on Tidy front. Baste (tack) in place. 8. Divide into four pockets: Sew in ‘ditch’ between each ‘Square in a Square‘ block. Tab & Handle 1. Cut two 3½ x 6½”strips and one wadding section. 2. On two opposite corners, draw an arc. Use edge of Petal Pattern tem- plate. Sew round three sides leaving one side open. 2 3. Turn tab R/S out. 4. Attach hook and loop fastener. Top stitch round outer edges. 5. Make handle from 3½ x 21” strip. 6. Attach handle and tab to Tidy front as shown Ensure that hook and loop fastener is on the underside of tab. Finish Off 1. Lay Tidy front on back section R/S together. Pin layers. 2. Sew round outside edges leaving a gap where indicated. 3. Turn R/S out through gap. Press well. 4. Close gap with small stitches. Top stitch round all sides except for pocket section. 3 Fold Tidy...Fold up pocket section. Fold over again. Fold into three. Mark where second half of hook and loop fastener is required. Sew this in place through all layers. You can roll it up ready to go or open out and place under sewing machine ready to sew! Why not make a baby changing mat in similar way? Adjust the pocket so that the opening is on the outer edge. Applique some hearts for added decoration (use EZ Heart template). Watch the show for more details.... 4 Nursery Zoo Cot Quilt 1. From Funky Spot fabric, cut one piece slightly larger than Nursery Zoo panel. 2. Layer Funky Spot backing fabric, fusible wadding and Zoo panel. Working from the centre, slowly press layers together. Turn over and press back of cot quilt. If not using fusible wadding, tag layers together with Micro Tag tool. 3. Attach walking foot, increase stitch length to 3 - 3.5mm. Outline all major animal elements and borders. 4. By hand or with walking foot, sew round outside edge through all layers. Binding: From Funky Spot, cut 3 x 2” strips. (Cut these strips from selvedge to selvedge.) Join strips to make long band. Feed fabric into 25mm Bias maker. Press well. Attach walking foot, sew binding to front of quilt. Mitre corners. Turn binding to back of quilt. Fold raw edge under. Clover clips are great for holding binding in place. Hand slip stitch binding in place. (For more information on binding see Foldy Rolly Patchwork Pzzazz page 86. Hand wash quilt before use. ------------------------------- Finally, to make a smart heat resistant ironing mat/caddy with Melodic Floral F/Q’s and Bosal Craf-tex, watch the demo on Sunday 10th May at 8.00am show or on the later 5.00pm one.

  • 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.

  • Instructions
    Lekala 4932 Dress With Straps Dress With Straps - Sewing Pattern #4932 Recommendations on fabric: natural/mixed fabric suitable for dresses. You will also need: fusible interfacing; 11 buttons. Seam allowances: Seam allowance for hem of garment – 2 cm; other seams – 1 cm. Note on seam allowances: - If the pattern has double contour the seam allowances are included. They are 1 cm unless specified otherwise. - If the pattern has single contour, the seam allowances are NOT included and need to be added when laying out the pattern. Note on length of fabric: Attention! The amount of fabric needed for your pattern is not included. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. First, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 cm). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don't forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. CUTTING: Note on cutting: On the pattern pieces, “beam” means straight of grain. Lay out your pieces accordingly. Some pieces will be cut on the fold. This is noted on the pattern piece. Mark all notches and other design features such as pleats etc. from the pattern onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Main fabric: 1. Upper center back - cut 2 2. Upper side back - cut 2 3. Lower back – cut 1 on fold 4.

  • Fabrication and Analysis of Dielectric-Elastomer Minimum-Energy Structures for Highly-Deformable Soft Robotic Systems
    Fabrication and analysis of dielectric-elastomer minimum-energy structures for highly-deformable soft robotic systems Michael T. Petralia and Robert J. Wood Abstract— Dielectric-elastomer minimum-energy structures (DEMES) form an emerging class of soft robotic system. The ap- propriate materials and method for rapidly fabricating DEMES prototypes are described. A DEMES component suitable for use in highly-deformable soft robots is presented and analyzed. Combinations of this component into snake-like robots are also presented. A calculation for determining a DEMES’s maximum mechanical work, electromechanical efficiency, and energy density is described. The scope of the DEMES design- space and future research paths are discussed. I. INTRODUCTION It is well-known that a dielectric elastomer film with stretchable surface electrodes—a dielectric elastomer actu- ator (DEA)—experiences an electrostatic pressure on its surfaces when an appropriate voltage (typically on the order of kV’s) is applied across the film’s thickness [1]. This pressure causes the film to contract in the thickness di- rection and expand its area. When stretched across a rigid frame, simple dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have demonstrated areal strains greater than 380% [2], energy densities as high as 3.4 MJ/m3 [3], and maximum efficiencies up to 90% [4]. DEAs are of particular interest as elec- tromechanical transducers because the transduction element is extremely pliant and highly extensible when compared to most other transducer technologies [5], [6]. As a result, DEAs are able to operate in systems that are entirely soft; moreover, DEAs have the ability to function as actively and Fig. 1: Various inextensible, pliant planar frames adhered to 500% passively deformable systems capable of large-scale changes isotropically stretched elastomer films.

  • Surprise Humbug Tutorial You Will Need: 1 Rectangle of Stitched Linen Some 5Mm Ribbon Some Interfacing Some Matching Beads (Optional) Some Felt
    Surprise Humbug Tutorial You will need: 1 rectangle of stitched linen some 5mm ribbon some interfacing some matching beads (optional) some felt Step 1 : getting ready. Iron your stitched linen (on the back of the work). Allow an extra 1cm around all the sides of the stitched design to allow for the seams. Cut a rectangle of interfacing to the same dimensions as the design, and iron it onto the back of it. Then fold back the hems and iron them down into position. Step 2 : putting it together. Place the felt rectangle over the back of the design, and stitch it in place, so that you hide the back of the design as well as the hems. Stitch the ribbons in place (on the felt side), on both sides of the rectangle, making sure that they are aligned with the design. Page 1/3 Copyright © 2012 Faby Reilly (www.fabyreilly.com) All rights reserved Surprise Humbug Tutorial Roll up your rectangle so that the “ribbon” sides are touching. Start stitching them together, taking care to leave a large enough opening (roughly 2/3 up from the bottom of the design). Whip-stitch** your way up towards the top, around the corner and down until you can stitch no more. You can (if you so wish) add beads to your seam as you go. Then work on the opposite side, shaping it so that you get a humbug. Step 3 : adding the finishing touches. The ribbons should be facing each other, ready to be tied into a pretty bow. Your surprise humbug is now to be filled with a “surprise” of your choice.

  • Lesson Guide Jacket Interfacing & Lining Draping: Advanced
    Lesson Guide Jacket Interfacing & Lining Draping: Advanced Module 1 - Jacket Interfacing Step 1 For this lesson we will use the jacket created in our Jacket Draft & Drape lesson. We will begin this lesson by planning the jacket’s interfacing pieces. Consider these 5 points when choosing an interfacing: 1 Module 1 - Jacket Interfacing Step 1 Softly Tailored/Structured Decide on the overall look of your jacket. You may wish to create a softly tailored jacket or a more structured jacket. Here we will plan for a softly tailored jacket. 2 Module 1 - Jacket Interfacing Step 2 Woven fusible hair canvas or woven non-fusible mid-weight interfacing. Select the interfacing that best suits the look and the type of fashion fabric that you have chosen. For example, if you are going for a tailored, more structured look you may wish to choose a woven fusible hair canvas. If you are going for a softer look then you might choose a woven non-fusible mid-weight interfacing. 3 Module 1 - Jacket Interfacing Step 3 Interfacing - compatible with fashion fabric Always test various types of interfacing before you make your final selection, to be sure that the final choice is compatible with your choice of fashion fabric. You wouldn’t choose an interfacing that is heavier than your fashion fabric since it might be too overpowering for the overall look of the jacket. 4 Module 1 - Jacket Interfacing Step 4 Measure/Pre-Shrink Interfacing Once you have chosen the appropriate interfacing for your jacket design, whether it be a woven, non-woven or stretch or whether it is fusible or non-fusible, you must test it for shrink- age.

Wednesday, 9 am - Noon, Virtual Hand pieced Liberty Manx Log Cabin With Jenni Smith | Virtually & In Classroom Technique: Hand piecing Skill level: Beginner Manx Log Cabin - We are not going to sit in the dark with no tools for this workshop as was the case on the Isle of Man in the early 19th century– but I love how this technique was born from a necessity to use scraps and keep warm, with very basic equipment. A Manx Log Cabin block is very portable and involves tearing strips and embracing the slight imperfections to create a block so personal - in fact it is based entirely on the shape and size of your own hands! Jenni Smith (Author of Quilting with Liberty Fabrics) will teach you how to hand piece a Manx Log Cabin block, quilting it as you go and you can make 4 blocks to create a cushion top, table-runner or the start of a quilt. Log Cabins are brilliant scrap busters so I would recommend using a collection of cotton prints to play with (a mix of Tana Lawn and Quilting Cotton is fine).
