GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION 1. INTRODUCTION Consumer Studies is a totally new world of learning that needs to be explored by the Grade 8 learner. Learners going into Grade 8 have no background in this subject and subsequently have a lot of skills and techniques to attain. These practical lessons in this document were developed to assist the new teacher as well as the new Grade 8 learner in developing the basic skills that are normally neglected due to the emphasis on the theory component. These are the minimum practical lessons required for assessment. After completion of these lessons more lessons can be done for drilling of techniques or as incentives. 2

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION WEEK 5-7 Introduction of basic hand stitches Patchwork and quilting Patchwork is the joining of different pieces of fabric to form a larger piece of fabric. Quilting means to make an article from two layers of fabric with padding in between, stitching through all layers in specific patterns/lines. The layers are sewn together by machine or hand to form different patterns to form a subtly textured fabric. The top layer is called the quilt top, the padding is known as batting or wadding, and the bottom layer is called the backing fabric. Quilt top fabrics Batting/wadding Backing fabric NOTE: These three layers can be quilted together, using hand stitches or a sewing machine. 17

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION Choice of fabric for patchwork: Patchwork and quilting is usually worked in 100% cotton fabric. Keep to the same type of fabric within a project. Fabric should be pre-shrunk before you use it. When choosing fabric for your quilt top:  Stick to a colour scheme and use a variety of prints that work together.  Choose one fabric with a large print  Choose two fabrics with a small print  Choose two plain fabrics  Be sure to balance the light and dark fabric. Choice of batting: This is the padding in a quilt. Batting is the term most commonly used for cotton, while wadding is used for polyester. Cotton batting: Polyester wadding:  Thin  Thicker than cotton  Hardwearing  Lighter than cotton  Drapes well  Easy to use  Washes easily  Washes well  Expensive  Cheaper than cotton 18

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION Cutting of fabric for patchwork: Cut strips or squares very accurate. This can be done by using a steel ruler and a rotary cutter on a cutting mat. Mats have printed grid lines, which makes cutting of strips or squares easier. Prepare the fabric – cut straight strips: 1. Use the rotary cutter, steel ruler and the cutting mat to cut straight strips very accurately 2. A metal/steel ruler will not be damaged by the rotary cutter 3. If the rotary cutter is not available, a dressmaker’s scissors can be used. 19

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION Function of hand stitches:  To quickly hold fabrics/seams together during sewing  To mark construction details onto the fabric  To hold hems, seams, and darts in position ready for final stitching.  To mark for positioning, items to be included on the garment such as zips, fasteners, pockets etc. Classification of stitches:  Temporary stitches - are used for a short time then they are removed, their purpose is to hold two or more layers of fabrics/seams together before permanent stitches are worked. Tacking / Basting Stitch Simple tacking stitches are used for holding two pieces of fabric together and making temporary hems. Start with a knot. End with a double stitch. Use a single thread. 1.1.1 Even tacking 1.1.2 Uneven tacking  Permanent stitches – are used to hold pieces of fabric permanently, they are not removed, and they remain on the article. 20

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION Hand stitches and their classification TYPE OF STITCHES CLASSIFICATION Running Temporary and Permanent Backstitch Permanent Slipstitch Permanent NB: Running stitch is a temporary stitch when used for easing or gathering fabric, in this case the stitches are longer and looser 3-6mm long. Running stitch is a permanent stitch when the stitches are shorter and tighter. Stitches are 2-3mm long. Running stitch It is straight stitching used where there’s not too much strain, and for easing and gathering. A long fine needle should be used, pushing it in and out for a number of stitches before pulling the thread out. Basic stitches to do patchwork and quilting by hand: Running stitches: This stitch is similar to tacking and is generally used for decorating a finished project. Simply bring your needle up and down through the fabric at regular intervals to create evenly-spaced stitches. Make sure that all the stitches are the same length and the spaces between them too – this is particularly important if you are using it as an embellishment. It is also used for quilting. 21

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION Back stitches – basic backstitch / stem stitch. A strong stitch that is used for joining two pieces of fabric together permanently. It is stronger and firmer than the running stitch. It can be used if a sewing machine is not available to sew. It’s also a decorative embroidery stitch Embroidery stitches: Basic embroidery stitches are useful for decorating items. You can decorate clothes, sheets, pillowslips, cushions, bags and so on. Decoration adds value to an item, making it unique and accentuating your personal style. Threaded backstitch Use the basic back stitch as explained before and add threads to serve as decoration. Different colour threads can be used. This is an easy way to add colour to your patchwork once you are done joining the strips together. Back stitch This is a strong stitch that can be used in place of straight machine stitching. The stitches look like machine stitches on the right side. 22

GRADE 8 Downloaded from CONSUMER STUDIES hlayiso.com PATCHWORK & QUILTING OPTION TERM 2 Week 1-2 Embroidery Checklist for Good Embroidery What does it take to make a good embroidery? The following is a list of things to check while ascertaining the quality of your embroidery.  Flexibility Pick up the embroidery- twist and roll it; see what it feels like. Is it flexible?  Alignment: The embroidery should fit together and be properly aligned, without gaps between the borders.  Puckering  The uneven pull in and around the design is unacceptable. The fabric should be smooth all around the embroidered area. Puckering can be caused by a too tight thread or fabric tension; too wide satin stitches; a dull needle; an unstable fabric (none or wrong choice of backing) and structural jamming. An embroidery hoop may be helpful.  Good Stitch Density Stitches should be tight and evenly spaced. If there is a lot of space between stitches or you a are able to pick them with a fingernail; they are too long and will degrade quickly when the garment is laundered.  Balanced Tension If there is puckering or pulling of the material around the design, look for proper tension (a balance of top thread and bobbin thread). Turn the garment over to see if there is a balance. You should see 1/3% white stitches in the centre and a balance of coloured stitches on both sides of the white stitches. Too much bobbin will also show on top of the design. If you do not see a balance, tensions are not set. (It may be helpful to thread the bobbin thread though the bobbin case lever such as used for buttonholes.) TIP: Use a water-soluble blue marking pen to draw on material when teaching a new stitch NAME OF EMBROIDERY TOOLS 1. Embroidery hoop 2. Crewel needles 3. Embroidery floss 4. Embroidery scissor 5.
