What sort of seam would be best for a sheer floaty, see through fabrics and why? A French seam because it looks really neat from the inside and the outside.
What sort of seam is best for jeans and why? A flat fell seam because it is very strong and also decorative.
What do you have to put on to the sewing machine in order to sew a zip in? A zipper foot.
Why is Velcro a particularly good fastening for small children's clothing. It is very safe - there are no small parts to choke on.
What is a component? Components are all the things on a textile product other than the fabric.
Name four types of fastening. Buttons, hook and eye, Velcro, laces, zips, buckles
Name three components that are not fastenings and say what they are for. Thread for sewing, beads that are decorative, interfacing to stabilise fabric.
What is interfacing and what is it for? Interfacing is a non woven fabric that is used to strengthen and stabilise.
What is bondaweb and what can it be used for? Bondaweb is a heat activated adhesive that can be used to bond two pieces of fabric together - as in applique.
Why do we use gathering? Gathering is used to shape and take in fullness of fabric. It can also look very attractive.
What is a dart? A dart is a special way of shaping fabric. It is often used on the waist or bust line to shape a garment to the wearer's figure.
What is a patch pocket? A patch pocket is a pocket that is made and then applied to the top of a textile product.
What could happen to a garment if seams are not neatened? The seams could fray and the garment could fall apart.
What is quilting? In quilting you sandwich wadding in between two pieces of fabric and sew through all three layers.
What is wadding? Wadding is the soft fibrous material used for padding when doing quilting.
What is a hem? This is the edge of a piece of cloth that is turned under and sewn to give it a neat finish.
What is a seam allowance? This is the distance between the edge and the stitching line on a seam.
How do we gather fabric? We stitch two lines of stitching in a large stitch size at 1cm and 2cm from the edge. We then securely fasten the threads at one end and pull up the threads at the other end until the gathering is the desired width.
