  • Scissors 101 Cut Through Confusion
    1 of 3 Scissors 101 Cut Through Confusion When you decide to buy new shears or scissors, your choices encompass a wide variety of sizes, brands and investment options. Determining what you want to cut with your new scissors will help you narrow the field of possibilities. • Do you need sewing shears or trimming scissors? • Do you need a great pair of arts and crafts scissors? • Do you need household scissors? • Do you need decorative scissors for embellishing papers? • Do you need a scissor for a special purpose? Good shears and scissors can be summed up in one sentence. You get what you pay for. Purchasing Tips: ‣ Don’t expect $100 results from $10 scissors, but it’s perfectly fine to buy what you can afford and then invest in a higher quality scissor later. ‣ Dedicate scissors to a specific task. If you plan to cut out a garment that you plan to sew, don’t use the scissors from your kitchen. ‣ The best advice about shears and scissors is to spend as much as you can justify because sharp, accurate cutting instruments enhance your creative experience. Shears and Scissor Choices: There are many great brands of sewing shears and scissors including Gingher, Dovo, Havel and Fiskars. A good sharp 8” shear with bent handles will be a great choice for this task. If you have difficulty opening and closing scissors easily, you might consider the Fiskars Softouch Microtip Spring Action shears. HowToGetCreative.com • ©BarbOwenDesigns 2013 - All Rights Reserved 2 of 3 In your sewing room, you’ll also need a good sturdy scissor to clip and trim seams.

  • Sewing Machine
    Sewing Machine A sewing machine is a textile machine used to stitch fabric, cards and other material together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, the sewing machine has vastly improved the efficiency and productivity of fabric, clothing industries, needle industries. History In 1791 British inventor Thomas Saint was the first to patent a design for a sewing machine. His machine was meant to be used on leather and canvas. A working model was never built. 1 In 1814 an Austrian tailor Josef Madersperger, presented his first sewing machine, the development of which started in 1807. In 1830 a French tailor named Barthélemy Thimonnier, patented a sewing machine that sewed straight seams using chain stitch. The lockstitch sewing machine was invented by Walter Hunt in 1833. In 1842, John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States. Elias Howe, born in Spencer, Massachusetts, created his sewing machine in 1845, using a similar method to Hunt's, except the fabric was held vertically. Trained as an engineer, Singer saw a rotary sewing machine being repaired in a Boston shop. He thought it to be clumsy and promptly set out to design a better one. His machine used a flying shuttle instead of a rotary one; the needle was mounted vertically and included a presser foot to hold the cloth in place.

  • MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENT and REPAIR of INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES by WAYNE SNYDER, MASTER RIGGER US ACADEMY of PARACHUTE RIGGING
    MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR OF INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES by WAYNE SNYDER, MASTER RIGGER US ACADEMY of PARACHUTE RIGGING Presented at the PIA INTERNATIONAL PARACHUTE SYMPOSIUM RENO, NEVADA February 2007 MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR OF INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES PREMISE: You know how to sew and you are working with an “E” thread lock stitch sewing machine and it was sewing and now it’s gone bad. You probably just changed something – 98% of the time just go back and inspect and correct what you just did and you will be back in business. COMMON CASE SCENARIOS: A. Bobbin change B. Top thread change C. Jam D. Broken needle and/or changed needle Before we get into these specific areas, let’s go back and remember the basic way the machines work. All lock stitch machines make the same stitch. 301, 304, or 308: these are just lock stitch machines. “THE FLOW ACTION” • The needle does down • The needle goes below path of hook (Figure 1) • Needle bottoms out (B.D.C.) • Needle comes up (3/32 inch - common measurement), loop forms on hook side of needle (non-long groove side of the needle) (Figure 2) • Hook picks up top thread loop and carries it around bobbin case. (Figure 3) • Hook drops top thread off (Figure 4) • Thread take-up arm takes out slack and sets stitch in goods. (Figure 5) • Think of the bobbin thread as a long straight rod with the top thread spiraled around it. Sew a piece of paper with two different color threads – rip paper to remove it and there is your example.

  • Tips for Minimizing Embroidery Interruptions
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN TIPS FOR MINIMIZING EMBROIDERY INTERRUPTIONS Sewing interruptions can be caused by many factors, however the most common causes include the following: • Needle Thread Breakage or Pull-out – not picking up at the beginning of a stitch pattern • Bobbin Thread Run-out or Thread Pick-Up – not picking up at the beginning of a stitch pattern • Improper Thread Trimming • Thread break detector stoppage In order to minimize interruptions during the stitching of complex embroidery patterns, the following vital elements must work together during the embroidery process. These vital elements include: • Proper Digitizing for the fabric and pattern being sewn • Proper Embroidery Machine Maintenance and Settings • Correct Backings and/or Toppings for the Application • Proper Needle Type and Size • Quality Embroidery Threads We will look at each of these elements and discuss potential causes for excessive sewing interruptions. A. INTERRUPTIONS DUE TO NEEDLE THREAD BREAK Digitizing Causes: • Improper cornering with too many stitches in the same location • Not using appropriate underlay stitches that help minimize flagging during the rest of the stitch pattern • Density properties too high within designs that layer many colors of thread • Not using Tie-In Stitches at beginning of thread changes • Not using Short Stitches at the end of a stitching cycle Digitizing Solutions: • Try to minimize the stitch density at any one point. TECHNICAL BULLETIN • Reduce density properties as you build up layers of embroidery • On lettering, use your “short-stitch” function • Use appropriate underlay stitches that help minimize flagging • Use slower speed “Tie-In” Stitches at beginning of thread changes • Use slower speed “Tie-Off” Stitches at the end of a stitching cycle.

    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.
