I HOPE YOU AREN’T GETTING SICK OF THE SEWING TERMS.
JUST A FEW MORE WEEKS TO GO AND I WILL MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

SEWING TERMS P-R

Pin-Baste: To use safety pins or straight pins to temporarily hold together fabric, a hem or a seam so you may sew it.

Pilling: Formation of groups of short or broken fibers on the surface of a fabric, which are tangled together in the shape of a tiny ball called a pill. Hydrophobic fibers tend to pill much more than hydrophilic fibers.

Piping: Cording covered by a strip of fabric (called a bias tape) sewn to create a decorative finish or edge of a project.
Raw edge: Unfinished fabric edge, but also used to describe ends of ribbon, piping or cording.

Resiliency: Ability of a material to spring back to shape after being creased, twisted, or distorted. It is closely connected with wrinkle recovery. An example of good resiliency is polyester.

Rotary cutter: Looks like a pizza cutter, but with a rolling razor-sharp wheel. Used with a special mat (self-healing) designed for it and a variety of clear rulers and templates to speed up the fabric-cutting process.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND THANKS FOR VISITING.
