Q– Quarter Inch Machine Foot– A special sewing machine foot, supplied either with the machine or bought as an optional extra, great for sewing exact 1/4 inch seams, has a metal guide for fabric placement, perfect results for quilting projects. This is a diagram to show the top and bottom threads, and the form he stitch will take. The arrow points to the end that will unravel when pulled, but the thread must be free from the loop drawn directly below it in the illustration… Fussy Cut – this term is used to describe a method of cutting shapes out of printed fabric which puts a motif or design in a particular place on your shape. For example, if you are working on a patchwork quilt made up of squares and you want a rose in the centre of each square you could use a clear plastic template to fussy cut your square, making sure that the rose is at the centre of the square before you mark and cut your fabric. Sew Together– often used to indicate that the next step will be to sew the fabric right sides or wrong sides together. Can also be used when organising a group of like minded people to meet at a certain time to enjoy beverages along with cake – cake is very important – and enjoying each others company whilst sewing.Now you should have a clean area on both sides of the fabric. And you can redo the seam, this time with no mistakes. This document aims to help review whole life carbon comparisons between rebuild and retrofit scenarios, to answer the following question: Below I’ll show you a simpletutorialon how to make the best out of thisessential sewing tool, andripout aseam allowanceor astitchin a blink of an eye! This method works best forcottonfabrics but with a little care you can apply it to delicate fabrics too such as silkor satin. While it does work forknitstoo, I found it harder toripout an entire seam in one go, I had to do it in smaller batches. Scribble– A continuous machine stitch which is useful for covering large or small areas of quilting when a specific design is not required. The lines of stitching should not cross or join with each, producing a meandering stitch which will suit any type of quilt. Tracing Wheel– used with dressmakers carbon to transfer information from the paper pattern to the fabric, such as positions and sizes of darts, circles, etc.

Operational energy and embodied targets and benchmarks: see LETI Carbon Alignment and LETI Climate Emergency Design Guide Fusible Fleece – An iron on interfacing made from soft, lightweight synthetic material. One side has an adhesive surface that when ironed bonds to other materials. Used to give volume and structure to projects such as bag making. It can be washed and tumbled dried. Pin Cushion – a place to put pins and needles, available with wrist straps to make them accessible. Other pin cushions have materials to aid sharpening of pins and needle on use. Long Stitch– An embroidery/tapestry stitch which can cover from 1 to 12 threads in one stitch. Can be horizontal or vertical and be done with any number of threads or yarn.Whoopsadaisy– A meandering machine stitch which has crossed and merged with other lines forming the shape of a flower, typically a daisy. Upcoming guidance on Whole life carbon impacts of refurbishment vs new build and LETI Operational Energy Modelling Guide You should find that you can breeze through tough thread. Just beware of the grotty fluff monsters hiding inside those seams! V – Variegated thread– multi-coloured used for top stitching or quilting to create a different look or interesting effect on a garment or quilt.

Bumblebunching –The tangled loops of stitching on the bobbin side of the fabric that result from improper tension when machine sewing. Does the whole life carbon assessment and comparison provide a basis for decision on the carbon part of the Retrofit vs Rebuild argument?

Other sustainability considerations such as climate resilience, biodiversity and minimising water resources. Quilt Label– A label to record the name of the maker, year, and recipient/s of quilt for future information Carbon: this is the focus of this note, considering both the embodied carbon implications, and the operational carbon implications related to energy use, in both the retrofit scenario and the demolish and rebuild scenario. I find this little tool super versatile and easy to use. I use myseam ripperfor a lot of other purposes, like cutting thethreadsin a button or removing an uglybuttonhole. Talking aboutbuttonholes, I also use myseam ripperfor openingbuttonholes(you can read thetutorial here). And sometimes I cut the tailthreadsin my projects or thetop threadwhen it gets tangled on theright sideof thefabricif myseam ripperis nearby. Embroidery hoop– Is a frame used to keep fabric taut and help maintain an even tension while stitching. Frames may be two wooden rings adjusted by a screw fitting on the outer ring or a metal springform hoop which fits into an outer plastic ring; these are particularly recommended for machine embroidery.
