  • 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.

  • 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.

Darts can be horizontal, vertical or anywhere in between, straight or curved, but the stitching principles are the same. BThe goal of quality dart stitching is smooth, pucker-free points that don’t call attention to themselves. SHAPING A single-point dart is shaped like a triangle, and when stitched it takes a wedge of fabric out of the garment allowing for controlled fullness at the point. A single dart may be on the lengthwise fabric grain, angled or slightly curved. (1) A double-point or contour dart is diamond or rugby ball shaped, and is used to shape the waistline, leaving fullness at both ends for the bust and hip. (2) A French dart is a curved shape from the garment side seam to the bustline. This dart has cut edges joined like a seam. (3) V9082 Vintage Vogue, 1960. Misses’ A5(6-8-10-12-14) E5(14-16-18-20-22).
