  • DESIGNING and PRODUCING NON-WOVEN FABRICS USED AS INSULATOR LAYERS in INNERSPRING MATTRESSES Dr
    DESIGNING AND PRODUCING NON-WOVEN FABRICS USED AS INSULATOR LAYERS IN INNERSPRING MATTRESSES Dr. Nahla Fawzy Ahmed Assistant Professor, Spinning and Weaving Dept., Faculty of Applied Arts / Helwan University, Egypt ABSTRACT Mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body, used as a bed or a part of a bed and are generally consisted of two different layers, the comfort layer and the support layer, the comfort layer comprises of materials such as polyurethane foam, polyester fabric and natural fibers. The support layer or innerspring unit is created with a series of coils and springs. This support layer acts as the core of the mattress. This research aims to produce non-woven fabrics suitable for using as insulator layer in innerspring mattress whereas the insulator pad is put directly on top of the coils to keep the spring from pushing through the padding material or to insulate the upholstery from the core and to absorb the resulted stresses from the motion of the innerspring. Non-woven technique was used to produce 9 samples. Two types of textile materials were used, polyester, waste and reinforced waste. Polyester fabrics is produced using two types of fibers count (9 den., 15 den.) ,two types of fibers melting at (100 oC, 130 oC) then the polyester fabrics pass between two hot calendars at 120 oC, waste fabrics pass between two hot calendars at 100 oC. Reinforced waste is produced using woven polypropylene ribbons. Tests are carried out to evaluate the samples produced under study. The obtained test results are presented and discussed. Keywords: Hometech textile, Innerspring core, Insulator layer, Mattress, Upholster layer (cushioning).

  • History of Quilting
    History of Quilting When the first settlers came to this country they brought with them their quilting skills. New fabric was hard to come by, so fabric for clothing and for quilts had to be used and reused saving as much as possible from worn clothing. Thus the patchwork quilt was born. Scraps of fabric were cut into geometric patterns that fit together into larger blocks of design. Many of these patterns have been passed through generations, created by the ingenuity of our ancestors and traded within communities. Names for particular patterns sometimes changed as they moved from one part of the country to another, reflecting the environment within which it was named. (i.e. a pattern called the pine tree pattern in Connecticut might be named bear’s path in Ohio). Quilt making is an art form that both individuals, as well as groups of people participated in. From the lore surrounding quilt making we learn that parents passed the skills for quilt making on to their children at a very young age. The children would start with small patches of fabric, and learn to sew the very fine stitches needed for beautiful and elaborate quilts. Historically, quilting has generally been practiced by, and associated with women. This could be because the sewing skills needed to make a quilt have always been an integral part of women’s lives. Learning how to sew was such an important skill for girls to have that it was taught and practiced in the home and at school. Women of all classes participated in this form of expression.

The Refining of a Domestic Art: Surayia Rahman Niaz Zaman and Cathy Stevulak The kantha or, as it is increasingly referred to now, the nakshi kantha, is an important women’s domestic art of Bengal. It is made all over Bangladesh except in the south-eastern Chittagong Hill Tracts region. Layers of old garments such as saris, lungis and dhotis are put together and reconstituted into objects of functional, ritual, or ceremonial use. Borders and motifs are embroidered in variations of the running stitch with coloured thread, traditionally drawn from the borders of old saris. The empty spaces are stitched with white yarn to create an effect of ripples. In most Bengali families, small kanthas made of soft, old cloth, are used to wrap babies. [Figure 1] Husbands or sons who leave home to work on land or water almost always carry with them a kantha made by their mothers or wives.

  • Kantha Forms and Transformations
    40 Textiles on the move, The Focus through time and space Kantha forms and transformations Niaz Zaman and Cathy Stevulak The kantha or, as it is increasingly referred to as the nakshi kantha, is an important aspect of Bengali women’s domestic arts and crafts. Kanthas are made in most parts of Bangladesh as well as in West Bengal. The kantha has taken many forms: from simple quilts made at home for personal, domestic, or ritual use to elaborate story-telling wall hangings for public ith these transformations, the kantha view. Kanthas are used for traditional garments, such as saris and shawls, as well as for can now be found worldwide, not Western garments, such as jackets and stoles.
