Turning Corners
(A spiraling square pattern, as the sewer either started from the center and sewed her way out, or started from the edge and sewed her way in on the fabric patch.)
Diagonal Stitching
Grouped
(Using rows of three grouped stitched lines, a diamond pattern was created on the fabric swatch.)
Machine Stitching
Even spacing using presser foot as a guide.
(An example is shown by having rows of vertical stitching, about a presser foot apart, for the length of the fabric sample.)
Grain of Material
The warp is the length straight or selvage edge of a piece of material.
The woof or filling thread is the width or cross way thread of a piece of goods.
The lengthwise thread is the strongest.
(An example of the warp and woof is included by pulling out lengthwise and width wise threads from a piece of fabric.)
Selvage Edge
A selvage edge is the finished edge of a piece of cloth.
(A sample of the selvage edge is included by showing the bound edge of a piece of fabric.)
