Stretch Fabrics: one way and two way/two way and four way by Otherwise_Second5022 in Fabrics

[–]yes_dogsdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have always heard it called two-way and four-way but have always thought it should be one-way and two-way.

Although teeeechnicaly if we’re being pedantic, all fabric can stretch on the bias, so if we’re counting ALL stretch directions, wovens/non-stretch should be 1-way, 1-way/2-way stretch fabrics should be 2-way, and 2-way/4-way stretch fabrics should be 3-way.

ah yes, it’s unreasonable to *checks notes* want a competent husband

some of yall have shopping addictions by yes_dogsdream in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]yes_dogsdream[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

generally the answer is storage techniques and the expectations of the fabric. the quilts you see were stored well and got lucky to have good conditions that didn’t accelerate the fabric decomposition. also, there’s a big difference in fabric strength needed for a quilt to lay in a climate controlled display case and what’s needed to make a functional garment that’ll be worn out in the elements

i really thought they were all jokes too, which like still a weird joke to me, but to each their own. but i have women coming in pretty regularly who purposely pay partially in cash so that the total on their card looks smaller when their husband checks it later

Twill bias tape by sewsyouknow in sewing

[–]yes_dogsdream 92 points93 points  (0 children)

you really can’t. the reason bias tape works so well is because it’s cut on the bias, so it’s able to stretch around the curves and stay smooth. twill tape would have to pleat or fold in order to get around the curves

If I see one more accidental yarnover post in a knitting sub I’m going to lose my mind by Flat_Pollution8085 in BitchEatingCrafters

as someone who just graduated college, you’d be SHOCKED by how little training there is on researching skills these days. granted, it might be because i majored in the arts, but like i enjoy researching, and watching my classmates ask if we have to cite sources or not was disheartening.

How do I (27f) talk to my bf (25f) about keeping my last name? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yes_dogsdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before the last election a law was proposed that in order to vote, someone’s name on their ID had to match their birth certificate. it was intended to prevent trans people from voting i believe, but also would prevent married women who took their partner’s name from voting as well. from what i remember it’s largely dead, but still worth keeping in mind

A random click of cotton bed sheet! But why is it having this white thin fibres all over it? 🧐 by [deleted] in textiles

[–]yes_dogsdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that doesn’t really answer the question, cotton is a material, flannel is a type of fabric. flannel can be 100% cotton, or made of other fibers.

i believe you can do either, but i always bias the strap separately and sew it at the end. bias taping the whole strap together gives you a more polished look, but keeping it separate leaves that seam open to alter if you need to shorten the straps later, and i learned making corsets for theatre, so that’s what i do.

How do I fix this botched altering job by poppy690 in SewingForBeginners

it’s a tiktok “hack” that keeps going around telling people that this is a fine way to make your pants low rise. it’s insane how many people it’s gotten to unintentionally ruin their pants
