The beginning seamstress should be familiar with the structure of the fabric. The fabric consists of multiple weaves of share (main) and transverse (weft) threads. Normally, the warp and weft should be at right angles to each other. The correct positioning of the cut details on the fabric will be of great importance in the process of sewing clothes. To make a beautiful and wearable product according to the figure, one of the initial stages of work will be the determination of the longitudinal thread of the woven cut.
It is necessary
- - a cut of the working fabric;
- - instructions for sewing the product.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to find the warp thread is to choose a long cut with non-frayed weaving edges on the left and right. Feel the edges of the fabric - they should be especially dense. It is along the edge line that the main thread is always located.
Step 2
Try stretching the canvas in different directions. In the direction of the share thread, the cut will be pulled with difficulty; the transverse thread will be more stretchable. This is due to the peculiarities of fabrication: initially, very strong long threads are pulled onto the machine - hard, twisted, capable of withstanding a large stretch. The space between them is filled with shorter threads - they are soft, fluffy and flexible.
Step 3
During a sharp stretching, the matter will emit soft sounds: more sonorous (the lobar thread is stretched) or deaf (weft threads make it). It is also possible to determine the basis of the fabric by sounding with the help of individual components. Pull out the threads from the piece of the working blade, between which there is a right angle. Play them as if on guitar strings, pull the ends sharply several times.
Step 4
Examine the fabric for light. You will see that some of the threads of the canvas lie at the same distance to one another; they extend almost exactly in a straight line. This is the weaving base. But the transverse threads will lie at different distances from each other, moreover, they will be slightly curved.
Step 5
Do not ignore the advice of experienced tailors on the pattern of your chosen garment. You cannot lay out cut details on the fabric in any order! Usually, parts of the product must be laid in such a way that the vertical of the shelf (back, sleeves, belt, hem, etc.) always lies parallel to the weaving edge. In this case, the finished garment will acquire the desired silhouette and will not stretch after the very first wash.
Step 6
Tailoring practice shows that the slanting line of the fabric gives the greatest stretch of the threads - this is the property of the fabric that is used in some patterns. For example, when cutting parts along an oblique line, you can get a skirt or bodice with folds gently falling down. In any case, you will first need to define the main thread. Then you can lay out the parts of the product strictly at an angle of 45 degrees in relation to the edge.
