TIP OF THE WEEK: SEWING TERMS T-W…Posted on April 27th, 2009 @ 5:39 am | Filed in: TIP OF THE WEEK TUESDAY
HI!
HERE ARE THE LAST OF THE SEWING TERMS T-W
Tack: Temporary stitches used to attach one piece of the fabric to another, also used is a basting stitch.
Template: A cardboard or plastic shape used as a pattern for tracing either piecing or appliqué patches, or for tracing lines to be quilted. Can also be made for pattern pieces you use frequently.
Topstitching: Hand- or machine-sewn stitches that are functional or decorative that will show on the outside of the design or garment.>
Trapunto: A dimensional design created by parallel outlining stitches that are then stuffed with yarn or batting.
Tying: A traditional method of securing quilt layers with knotted ties at intervals across the quilt.
Warp/weft: The woven threads in the fabric. Warp threads are long and run from top to bottom in the length of the material. Weft threads run from side to side and are shorter.
Wickability: Ability of a fiber to transport moisture away from the skin
I HOPE SOME OF THOSE HELPED.
IF YOU DON’T SEW, THEN MAYBE THEY WILL HELP IF I EVER MENTION THEM ON HERE.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND THANKS FOR VISITING
