Typically, these on the bobbin case. threads, yarns, and cords are too large to fit through the eye of the sewing machine needle. So, in order to achieve a “stitched 5. Remember the rule of tension adjustment --“Righty, Tighty -- look”, you sew with the heavy decorative thread wound onto a Lefty, Loosey” bobbin and placed in the bobbin case of the machine. 6. Use a “construction quality” thread on the “topside” of your machine, as the needle tension will usually be increased. Think of the top thread as literally pulling the “bobbin yarn” into place to form the stitch pattern. 7. Bobbins can be wound by hand or by machine. Whenever possible, wind the bobbin using the bobbin winder mechanism on the machine. This will properly tension the “bobbin yarn” for a better stitch quality. 8. Bobbinwork can be sewn with the Feed dogs up or down. If stitching freemotion, a layer of additional stabilizer or the use of a machine embroidery hoop may be necessary. 9. Select the proper presser foot for the particular bobbinwork YARNS AND THREADS SUITABLE FOR BOBBINWORK technique being sewn. When working with the heavier “bobbin yarns”, the stitches produced will be thicker. Consider selecting • Yarns (thinner types, often a foot with a large indentation underneath it, such as Foot used for knitting machines) #20/#20C.This foot will ride over the stitching much better.

  • Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of Terms Used in the Documentation – Blue Files and Collection Notebooks
    Book Appendix Glossary 12-02 Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of terms used in the documentation – Blue files and collection notebooks. Rosemary Shepherd: 1983 to 2003 The following references were used in the documentation. For needle laces: Therese de Dillmont, The Complete Encyclopaedia of Needlework, Running Press reprint, Philadelphia, 1971 For bobbin laces: Bridget M Cook and Geraldine Stott, The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches, A H & A W Reed, Sydney, 1980 The principal historical reference: Santina Levey, Lace a History, Victoria and Albert Museum and W H Maney, Leeds, 1983 In compiling the glossary reference was also made to Alexandra Stillwell’s Illustrated dictionary of lacemaking, Cassell, London 1996 General lace and lacemaking terms A border, flounce or edging is a length of lace with one shaped edge (headside) and one straight edge (footside). The headside shaping may be as insignificant as a straight or undulating line of picots, or as pronounced as deep ‘van Dyke’ scallops. ‘Border’ is used for laces to 100mm and ‘flounce’ for laces wider than 100 mm and these are the terms used in the documentation of the Powerhouse collection. The term ‘lace edging’ is often used elsewhere instead of border, for very narrow laces. An insertion is usually a length of lace with two straight edges (footsides) which are stitched directly onto the mounting fabric, the fabric then being cut away behind the lace. Ocasionally lace insertions are shaped (for example, square or triangular motifs for use on household linen) in which case they are entirely enclosed by a footside. See also ‘panel’ and ‘engrelure’ A lace panel is usually has finished edges, enclosing a specially designed motif.

  • 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.

  • Bobbin Lace Class Handout (PDF)
    Beginning Bobbin Lace By Tim & Debbie Coyle Brief History It’s difficult to tell the early history of most fiber arts, as the fabrics are lost through reuse of the materials or deterioration. Bobbin lace is documented as far back as the 15th century in Italy. The technique spread quickly and widely after that. By the end of the 16th century Spain was producing colored silk laces as well as gold and silver laces. The Scandinavian counties and Germany were also very influential in furthering bobbin lace. Although lace is often thought of as adorning ecclesiastical fabrics and the garments of the wealthy and titled, peasants were numbered among the people making and wearing bobbin lace. In Eastern Europe they were responsible for keeping the technique alive, their laces were sophisticated and developed into very personal designs. Materials Pillow The pillow is the working platform for your lace. Pillows come in many shapes and sizes, and are made of many different materials, from straw or fabric scraps contained in a fabric covering, to different types of foam covered in fabric. What they all have in common is a firm but yielding texture that allows pins to go in easily and stay in place without wobbling. This kit contains a close cell foam block that works well to keep the pins in position. Rather than covering the foam with fabric, we have covered the top with the pricking pattern and instructions. You might want to buy some cotton quilting fabric, cut it to size, and pin it on to cover all sides of the foam.

Revised November 2020 Batik - Indonesian technique of wax resist dyeing applied to whole cloth. This technique originated from Java, Indonesia. It is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a tjanting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. Broadcloth - A very lightweight, smooth, flat looking fabric, with no pattern in the weave of the threads. It is similar in quality to pinpoint fabric but has less texture. This usually means it is slightly more transparent and not as shiny as the pinpoint. Chambray - A plain weave fabric woven with a colored yarn in the warp and a white yarn in the weft. Corduroy - A fabric with a distinct pattern, a “cord” or wale. It is mostly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. Cotton - A fabric made from the fiber of its namesake plant. It is good for first time sewers to use because it’s easy to work with and used for everyday clothing. Eyelet - A type of fabric that has holes that are edged using a buttonhole stitch. The holes are precisely sized and situated to create a pattern or patterns, often floral designs or abstract geometric arrangements. Faux Fur - A fabric fashioned to simulate genuine animal hair.

Troubleshooting Embroidery Designs Written by: Kay Hickman, BERNINA Educator, Professional & Home Embroidery Specialist Qualities of a Good Design § Maintenance Proper Setup § Problem / Solution Scenarios § Pressing Matters There is nothing quite as satisfying as stitching a perfect embroidery design for that special project. But it can also be frustrating when things go wrong. In order to troubleshoot and fix embroidery design problems, we need to first understand the qualities of a good design and how preventative maintenance can prevent a lot of issues from occurring in the first place. QUALITIES OF A GOOD DESIGN • The fabric is smooth and pucker-free around the outer edges of the design. • There are no traces of the bobbin thread showing on the top side. • There is no gapping between individual elements of a design or between the fill stitches and the design outlines. BACK SIDE • On the back (bobbin) side, you should see the bobbin thread. You should also see the needle threads around the edges of a fill or either side of a column type design. FRONT SIDE MAINTENANCE Preventative maintenance can go a long way to aid in getting a good stitch out. • Clean the machine every 3 to 4 hours of stitching time. This is especially crucial because the high speed of the embroidery creates more lint and fuzz than you encounter during normal sewing. Remove BEFORE HOOK OIL AFTER HOOK OIL all fuzz and check for tiny bits of thread that might • Follow the manufacturer’s suggestions and take be stuck in the bobbin case.
