Textile Eqipment

SCISSORS are used for cutting thread and material. DO NOT cut paper with these as it will make them blunt. PAPER SCISSORS are used for cutting paper. PINKING SHEARS are saw-toothed scissors used to stop fabric fraying.

NEEDLES are used with thread to hand sew, eg. tacking. They must be kept rust free and sharp. Use the correct needle for the task at hand.

PINS are used to hold two pieces of fabric together. They should be straight, sharp and rust free so that they do not mark the fabric

TAPE MEASURE is used for accurately measuring a seam allowance and taking body measurements. They should be made from fibreglass. They measure in centimetres.

TAILORS CHALK or MARKING PENCILS are used to draw guidelines onto fabric. It is only a temporary mark and will come off with a gentle rub. The chalk pencil may be sharpened to get a fine point. The brush at the end is used to erase unwanted lines. Colours available are white, pink, blue, black and yellow.

QUICK UNPICKS are used to unpick incorrect stitching. Take care not to put holes in the fabric when using them.

BOBBINS are used in the sewing machine for under stitching..


Identifying TextilesItems made from fibres, yarns or fabrics (or a combination of these) are called TEXTILES ITEMS. Textiles items are frequently utilized during your daily routines and activities at home.

Bobbin Case (insert & remove)

The bobbin in a sewing machine contains thread to create the bottom part of a seam. The bobbin is made of metal. The bobbin fits into a bobbin case and that case is inserted into the machine from a location where the needle thread can loop with the bobbin thread.

1. Fill the bobbin with thread. Pull out about 20 cm of thread from the bobbin. To correctly place the bobbin into the bobbin case, hold the bobbin case in your left hand. Pick up the bobbin with your right hand so that the thread wrapped clockwise when you drop the bobbin into its case.

2. The loose thread from the bobbin needs to be threaded through the bobbin case. To do this, grab the loose thread with your right hand and pull it into the slit on the bobbin. Tug the thread down, and under the tension spring. When tugged properly, the thread will be between the “C" of the tension spring.

3. To install the bobbin into the machine, pull the tab on the back of the bobbin and while grasping the tab, slide the bobbin into the sewing machine with the arm facing up.

4. Push the bobbin in until you hear a click, then release the tab. The bobbin is now installed into the machine.

5. With the needle already threaded, use your left hand to grab the thread from the needle. With your right hand, slowly turn the machine's hand wheel toward you. As you turn the wheel, the bobbin thread will loop up and become visible. Stop turning the wheel when you see the loop from the bobbin thread. Grab the loop with your right hand and gently pull the thread loose so you can lay the bobbin thread with the needle thread.

How to Tie a Knot

1. Choose a sewing needle that will be appropriate to your sewing project.

2. Choose a thread matches your fabric.

3. Cut an 80 cm length of thread and pass the end of the thread through the eye of the needle. You may need to dampen the thread end in order to make it pass through easily.

4. Pull the thread through the eye far enough to create a tail of thread that is 20 cm long. This end remains unknotted.

5. Take the other end of the thread between your thumb and forefinger. Wrap the thread loosely around your forefinger once and continue to keep the thread in place with your thumb.

6. Slide your forefinger down toward the base of your thumb, twisting the threads together until the loop that is formed is pushed off the forefinger end.

7. Grasp the loop between your thumb and forefinger at the point where the loop joins the rest of the thread.

8. Pull the loop until a knot is formed.

How to Thread a Needle (with a needle threader)

Push the loop in the needle threader through the eye of your needle.

Holding the needle and threader in one hand, pick up the thread and push it through the hole in the needle threader until it's about 10cm through the threader.

Gently pull the needle threader back through the eye of the needle.


How to Backstitch

A backstitch is a strong stitch which is used where a stitch as firm as machining is required. It looks like machine stitching on the right side, but stitches overlap on the wrong side.

Facts about Backstitching.•The stitch is worked from right to left.•Start the stitch with a knot.•Take the stitch under four threads of the fabric.•Return to the same starting place and take a stitch in the same direction – twice as far.•Return to the end of the first stitch, and make the third stitch the same way as the second. •Except for the first stitch, each stitch is the same length


Pin Cushion Design

Design BriefWhilst working in the Textiles room you need to consider your safety and the safety of other students in the room. As part of this, you are required to produce a pin cushion which should travel with you around the room ALWAYS. Your design brief is to produce a pin cushion using your sample of stitches from the sewing machine. It will need to be well stuffed in order to protect you and stop pins poking through the other side. You also need to wrap it tightly with thick thread and sew a button onto the centre. You will use whipping stitch to sew the opening together. This item will be assessed using the attached criteria.

DesignUsing your Ipad, draw 3 different designs (in colour) of the machine stitches you will use on your pin cushion. Think about the colour thread you are using as well as the type of stitches you want to use. Select one design and produce it onto your fabric.

Pin Cushion (how to make)

1. Using your sampler of decorative stitches from previous classes as one side of your pin cushion, cut another piece of fabric the same size.

2. Using the template, draw a circle with chalk onto the fabric (make sure the centre is placed on the centre of the stitches). Allow seam allowance of 1.5 centimeters.

3. Make sure the right sides of the fabric are together. Pin the two pieces together.

4. Using a hand needle tack both pieces together on the chalk line.

5. Thread up sewing machine and machine with straight stitch around shape. Leave about 5 cm of you pin cushion unstitched, to allow you to turn the pin cushion inside out. Remember to reverse stitch at the beginning and end to prevent the stitching from coming apart while stuffing.

6. Clip the circle but don’t cut through the stitching line. Turn pin cushion through to the right side.

7. Fill the pin cushion with polyester filling.

8. Thread a hand needle and use whipping stitch to close the opening.

Pencil Case

Creating your Design for the Pencil CaseSelect one design and draw it again. It needs to be perfectly designed at this stage as this will be the final picture that you will use to trace your pattern from.

•Print your design.•Trace the pieces from the design. •Cut out pattern using paper scissors.•Pin pattern onto felt that has been backed with Vliesofix.•Cut out felt.•Iron onto medium size piece of denim. (See ‘Produce’ sheet)•Zig–Zag satin stitch over edge of felt.


Pencil Case

Produce - How to make your Denim Pencil Case

Cut one piece of material 50 x 40 cm. Using tailors chalk, rule a line down the middle of the material. This gives 2 sections 25cm x 40 cm. On one piece rule another line 10 cm in from the edge. Show the teacher your marked sections before cutting.

Cut out a pattern of your chosen appliqué design on paper. It should be no larger than 12 cm square.

40cm

25cm 15cm 10cm


Pencil Case


Place pattern on to a piece of felt which has been stabilized with fusible paper backing. Pin it on then cut out shape. Peel off paper from felt then place felt shape onto middle sized piece of denim fabric (15cm x 40cm) taking care not to go too close to the edges. Iron – taking care not to move the iron while it is on the motif. The shape will adhere to pencil case. Satin stitch around motif. (Stitch length ½, Stitch width 3-4) Collect your zip and two tab pieces (4 x 5 cm) of denim. Zig zag edges of tab. Hand stitch ends of zip together. With zip closed, machine stitch tabs (length2 ½ width 0) to both ends of the zip right sides together. Open out.


Pencil Case


With right side of zip facing right side of fabric, sew 1 cm seam. If zip end is too close to presser foot, leave needle in, lift presser foot up, undo zip, put foot down, resume sewing. Repeat for other side. Press. On outside, top stitch using zig zag or a fancy stitch close to folded edges. Open zip. Place front and back right sides together. Pin, tack, and then sew all the way around the outside twice with 1.5 cm seam allowance. Zig zag outer edges to neaten. Trim corners. Turn through. Press.
