the label for fiber content anil
MirmkaKP. A knit hark fabric
may tthrlnk excessive. How.
ewr, If Ihe fubrle Is to too lined
fr toys, thin would not be too
much of a problem. If the fab
ric is washable, look for direc-
timis on how to make the fur
return to lu original look.
For the amount to buv, fo.
low the yardage guide for fab
rics "with nnp," or buy an ex
tra thrceeluhths or three-quarters
of a yard.
When cutting out the fabric,
eliminate all unnecessary
seams, as, for example, the cen
ter bnck seam. Put the pattern
on the bark Inn side with tops
or an pattern pieces in the same
direction, and make sure the
fabric pile for all pieces runs
aown. tor very deep pile fabric,
plan to cut through single
thicknesses. Take a hint from
the real fur world and cut the
fabric from the wrong side with
a razor blade. This makes the
pile easier to control, Miss
Speckhart says, and prevents
cutting off the fiber "hairs."
Facings at armholcs and the'
necKiines will be required on a
sleeveless overblouse or similar
garment. These should be light
weight harmonizing fabric rath
er than the deep-pile fabric in
order to avoid bulk.
Hand-basting fabric pieces to
gether first is advised for two
reasons: (1) some of these fab
rics tend to "creep" or "pucker"
when stitched, (2) you can get
proper fitting before machine
stitching so no seams need to
be ripped. Stitch in the direction
the pile lays wherever possible,
Miss Speckhart advises, then
use a pin to lift the pile caught
in the stitched seam on the
right side of the fabric. Rein
force points of strain with seam
tape. To take out bulk in seam
allowances, shear the pile on
the wrong side.
This kind of sewing calls for
a loose tension on the machine,
light pressure, a coarse needle,
and heavy duty, thread. Stitch
length should run about 10
stitches per inch.
The high-pile fabrics usually
are made of heat-sensitive fi
bers, Miss Speckhart reminds.
For this reason, try finger-pressing
or place the fabric pile side
down on a velvet board or heavy
turkish towel. Use a press cloth
and steam lightly without
touching the Iron to the fabric.
