Basic knowledge of sewing_Tips of sewing

Sewing is done with needle and thread, collectively referred to as the cutting, sewing, patching, etc. of clothes. So how much do you know about sewing? The following is the basic knowledge of sewing compiled by me. I hope you like it!

Sewing skills

1. Threading method

If the thread being sewn becomes shorter, just stop and thread a new thread. Tie the finished thread into a tight knot, then cut the remaining thread short. When threading again, just go back and sew two or three stitches and then sew forward as before.

2. The length of the thread

Take a thread and pass it through the eye of the needle. If you hold the needle with the thread and the length difference between the two ends of the thread is 15cm, it will be neither too short nor too long, making it easy to sew.

3. When the thread runs out midway

If the thread being sewn becomes shorter, just stop and thread a new thread. Tie the finished thread into a tight knot, and then cut the remaining thread short. When threading again, just go back and sew two or three stitches and then sew forward as before.

4. Nail scraping

This method is often used when separating seams or folding cloth into two or four layers. Gently fold the fabric along the fold line and press firmly with your left hand. The nail of your right thumb is perpendicular to the cloth and slowly moves to the right along the crease. Fingertips will not leave clear marks, so be careful.

5. The method of fixing bead needles

Use "bie" to describe the method of fixing bead needles. If you aim the tip of the beading needle at the side of the socket and make a right angle on the fabric facing the sewing direction, the fabric will not loosen easily and the finish will be more beautiful. When sewing by hand, it is difficult to operate if there are many beads and other needles, so it is recommended to sew four or five at a time and sew bit by bit. Explanation of sewing quotations

From raising silkworms and planting cotton to spinning and weaving, from threading needles to sewing and buying clothes, it is a great progress of human civilization. In the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, textiles and clothing are two dazzling and dazzling wonders. Therefore, the work of women's red work, which is closely related to them, must have a very long history. According to archaeological discoveries, in the Paleolithic Age 18,000 years ago, the Shangding cave people had used bone needles to sew animal skins; in the Neolithic Age, more than 7,000 years ago, the Hemudu people not only used bone needles, but also twisted threads. and spinning wheels; and in the Liangzhu culture more than 4,000 years ago, primitive textiles such as hemp threads, silk sheets, silk threads and ribbons appeared, which formed the prototype of nvhong and its supplies. my country's agricultural society of more than 3,000 years has not only established a farming-oriented ideology, but also formed the tradition of men farming and women weaving. Women learn embroidery, spinning and weaving, tailoring and sewing and other women's work from an early age. Especially in the Jiangnan area. Especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, society's requirements for women and husband's family's standards for choosing a wife were measured in four aspects: morality, speech, appearance, and workmanship. Among them, workmanship was the work of female prostitutes. . Among them, sewing has become one of the female celebrities. Sewing equipment

1. Sewing machine

I initially bought a small electric sewing machine worth more than 300 yuan, but it was not unusable. Many of my works were produced on this small sewing machine.

However, knitted fabrics with high elasticity or those that are too thin, such as artificial cotton and silk, will not run well. You need to iron the lining and change the purple needle, which is troublesome and expensive.

Once when I was wearing a thick silk cotton quilt, one of the most important parts was bent. Although the manufacturer repaired it, I was still not satisfied, so I replaced it with the upgraded version of the heavy machine K85 ( The current price is 1,680), and it’s pretty good to use. In addition to regular sewing functions, it can also run simple patterns.

2. Hemming machine

If you often make knitted clothes, a hemming machine is definitely worth equiping. The hemming machine can also function as a hemming machine, which is very convenient. I use the heavy machine 50E, four threads and two needles.

I was very frustrated when I first started using it. Whenever I replaced the black wire, it kept disconnecting, which was a huge waste of time. Later I realized that it was not a problem with the equipment, but rather the quality of the wire was not up to standard. Here I would like to remind all sisters, because the hemming machine is high-speed, the thread cannot be randomly configured. You must buy a dedicated high-speed thread.

In fact, making knitted clothes requires a stretch sewing machine, which costs more than 3,000 yuan. My sister has always been interested in it but has not yet started. Let this dream come true slowly.

3. Rulers

When I first bought this set of pattern-making rulers, I didn’t know what their specific uses were, but now that I have used them, I find that they are really superfluous. None.

Later I lost my scale ruler, so I bought another three-sided ruler to supplement my calculations. The era when old tailors used a wooden ruler and a soft ruler to conquer the world no longer exists. A gentleman should be good at fake things.

4. Scissors

When I first bought a sewing machine, I got a pair of light scissors as a gift. The old tailor said no, but I still didn’t believe it. I thought: Isn’t it enough if I can cut it? I’ll need it in winter. It was only when I cut double-sided velvet that I realized: it really doesn’t work. So I went and bought this pair of extra heavy scissors, and it was much more comfortable to cut. Of course, small scissors for cutting and removing threads are essential.

The scissors are afraid of falling. Sisters, please pay attention to placing your favorite scissors properly.

5. Others

Sewing threads of various colors are essential. If you don’t have drawing powder, you need to prepare a water-erasable pen. Bead needles to help fix it. Paper patterns or sewing books are needed as needed. To be prepared, you must have an electric iron. In addition, you must have fabrics that can be used to sew as you wish. You can have a sewing workspace and platform at your disposal. You can do whatever you want.
