H 2005 / 11 3 FISCHBEIN® MODELS 100 & 101 EMPRESS™ SERIES SEWING HEAD OPERATOR’S MANUAL 1.2 WARNINGS • The model 100 and 101 sewing heads are driven by strong motors, contain moving parts and have pinch points and sharp edges. Therefore, a certain amount of technical knowledge and familiarity with this type of equipment are required to operate and maintain the system. Proper eye, hand and foot protection must be worn while working with the 100 and 101 sewing heads. • The sewing head is not a stand-alone machine; therefore, care must be taken to provide the correct drive system and proper protection from the drive components. You should follow the recommendations in the manual about the drive system. • Replacement of the Connecting Needle Drive Rod (pages 52-55; Item 20: part#31020) must be performed by an authorised Fischbein representative, equipped with the special tools necessary. • Read the manual carefully before making any changes to the sewing head. • Always use genuine Fischbein spare parts (including Fischbein Lubricating Oil and Fischbein Oil Filters). Our parts are specifically designed for Fischbein equipment to provide optimum performance and safety. Use of non-Fischbein parts can void the product warranty. • Turn off and lock out air and power sources when performing maintenance. • Let the machine do the work. Do not pull the bag or the materials through it. • Consult Fischbein concerning your specific application and sewing need. • The sewing head is not suitable to operate in an area where explosive materials are present (explosive gas, vapors, powders or liquids). • When used in a dusty environment, NEMA 12 (IP54) electrical equipment must be used. • Frequently clean the machine to prevent accumulation of dust. Do this to prevent accumulation of material that may cause a fire or malfunction. • When cleaning the optical controls that may come with the sewing head, consult the accompanying manuals from the optical manufacturer. These additional manuals can be found in the electrical control box with the electrical schematics. • Any sources of leaks of the machine’s lubricating oil must be repaired immediately to prevent possible contamination of the product being packed and safety hazards around the system. • When cleaning the sewing head, use only recommended Fischbein cleaning solvent 5-101. • Do not use aggressive cleaning products as they may damage the rubber seals. • When in doubt about operation, troubleshooting and maintenance of the sewing head, consult your dealer or local Fischbein representative. • Other specific warnings appear throughout this manual. 4 REV.

  • Principles of Pattern Alteration Pattern Alteration
    E-372 02/06 Principles of Pattern Alteration Pattern Alteration it is an important ingredient that makes a garment a wardrobe plus or minus. Standards of good fit Fare influenced by many things such as the current fashion look, the hang and stretch of the fabric, the amount of ease preferred and figure size and type. For any seamstress, whether beginning or experienced, the art of fitting requires skill and patience. When this art has been mastered, garments will look better and feel more comfortable. Once the fabric is cut, however, fitting adjustments are limited to existing darts and seam allowances. Therefore, fitting problems should be solved before the garment is cut by making needed changes in the pattern. Preserve the altered pattern for later use by fusing nonwoven stabilizer on the pattern’s wrong side or redraw the pattern and new markings onto pattern paper. Use dry heat for fusing because steam wrinkles the tissue paper and smears the ink. Extension Family Development and Resource Management Specialists Know your measurements Accurate measurements are the key to good fit.Mea - surements should be taken at least every 6 months and/or when weight or the figure has varied significantly. Take all measure- ments snugly, but not tightly, over undergarments usually worn. Also, wear shoes similar to those usually worn. A string tied around the waist and the base of the neck helps establish reference points for measuring. Work in front of a mirror or with a partner to make sure that the tape is straight, parallel to the floor and positioned on the body in the correct locations.

The SRBA comprises of fifteen member and associate houses, who work together to protect and champion the understanding of bespoke tailoring and to promote the ingenious craftsmen that comprise the community of Savile Row.

A Master Cutter must oversee the work of every tailor employed by a member house and all garments must be constructed within a one hundred yard radius of Savile Row. Likewise, every member must offer the customer a choice of at least 2,000 cloths and rigorous technical requirements are expected. For example, jacket foreparts must be entirely hand canvassed, buttonholes sewn, sleeves attached and linings felled all by hand. It takes an average 50 plus hours to produce a suit in our Savile Row cutting rooms and workshops. #savilerowbespoke www.savilerowbespoke.com 2 1 Savile Row: inSide out Savile Row: Inside Out looks inside the extraordinary world of bespoke tailoring; an exclusive opportunity to step behind the scenes and celebrate the tailor’s art, the finest cloth and the unequalled expertise that is British Bespoke.
