Patches

'''Making Patches'''

To make a basic patch, cut it out of scrap fabric and ensure it is big enough to cover the hole and .5" to 1" around it. The extra fabric will be attached to the strong, undamaged material instead of the potentially frayed fabric around the hole. Round the corners to decrease bulk and press the edges flat with an iron. Patches can be attached to the interior or exterior of the garment.

'''Exterior Patches'''

Place the patch over the damaged area, with the hole centered, and pin it into place. Sew a running stitch around the entire perimeter, and when you're done, tie off the thread on the underside of the patch.

'''Interior Patches'''

'''Things to Consider'''

* It is better to have a patch that is too big than one that is too small.

* Try to match the patch's material, weave, and weight to the clothing being repaired.
* Lighter patches need to have their edges finished, but doing the same to denim might be too bulk and uncomfortable. Instead, the edges of the patch can be tucked.
* Make denim knee patches larger than the knee so they don't bulk in that area while bending the knee.
* If you have a pretty designed patch that is too weak for the repair, put a stronger patch under it to support it.
* Interior patches can be used to highlight the holes in the clothing.

Types of Stitches

2023-10-24T16:35:39Z

Jiao Jiao:

Back stitch

* Start from the underside of the fabric and make a stitch on the top side of the fabric, ending the stitch by bringing the needle back down. Repete the stitch on the back side of the material. After finishing the second stitch, the one on the underside, don't make another forward stitch when the needle comes up. Instead, bring the stitch back. Go over the forward stitch on the bottom again, making the needle come up next to the previous back stitch. This should make a solid line on the top side and a dashed line on the underside.

Basting stitch

Running stitch

* Make the running stitch the same as a straight stitch, except don't pull the needle through after each stitch. Instead, weave the needle up and down through the fabric to make 3 or 5 stitches at a time. This makes it easier to have uniform and straight stitches.
* This type of stitch is good for mending in the elbow or knee area and hard-to-reach spots. It is also good for working on larger surfaces.

Straight stitch (aka simple stitch, stab stitch)

* Start from the underside of the fabric and make a stitch on the top side of the fabric, ending the stitch by bringing the needle back down. Repete the stitch on the back side of the material. Continue the stitch this way until the end.
* Advantages include being able to make the stitch go in any direction and easily change the direction between stitches.
* This type of stitch is good for weird shapes, bulky fabrics and layers, and cleaning mending lines at the end of a project to make them equal in length.

Whip stitch

* Start from the underside of the fabric and make a vertical stitch on the top side of the material, ending the stitch by bringing the needle back down. Make another stitch of the same length on the back side but at a diagonal. The end of the bottom stitch should align the second top stitch to start parallel to the first one. This will create a row of vertical stitches on the top side and a row of diagonal stitches on the underside.
* This type of stitch is good for cleaning the edges of fabric or the edges of a hole seen on an interior patch.

Follow the instructions below to make your own custom-shaped vinyl stickers!

[[Category:Tutorials]]

# '''Download your image''' if you have one.
## Acceptable file formats are .png, .jpg, .gif, .svg, .dxf, .heic, or .bmp
# '''Open Cricut Design Space'''.
# '''Select “New Project”''' in the upper right corner of the window.
# If you downloaded an image, '''select “Upload” from the bottom of the left-hand option bar''', then click “Upload Image” and drag-and-drop or navigate to your image using the “Browse” function. Otherwise, you can play around with the shapes, text, and other options to create a design.
# '''Follow the instructions onscreen''' to select Simple, Moderately Complex, or Complex, depending on your design, and click Continue. If you are unsure which to use, you can click each option and see a preview of the image on the right.
## Note that selecting a complexity that doesn't match your image may crash and restart the program, simply try again and select a different complexity if this occurs.
# '''Edit the image as necessary'''. In general, editing out the background and any other edits works better in a photo editing app like Adobe Illustrator (which is also available on the Makerspace computer), but it can be done in Cricut. Ensure that you do not have floating extra pixels (i.e., make sure the background is entirely transparent), as they will complicate the process later. Select “Apply & Continue” in the bottom left.
# '''Select “Print Then Cut Image” and click “Upload” in the bottom right'''.
# On the following screen, you should now see your image under “Recent Uploads”. '''Select the image and click “Add to Canvas”''' in the bottom right.
# '''Resize, duplicate, and add other images''' to the image as necessary, making sure it remains within the maximum 6.75in x 9.25in size.
## To duplicate, make sure the image is selected, then press “Duplicate” in the top right. If you are duplicating to have multiple stickers cut out of one sheet, there is no need to separate the images; Cricut will separate them evenly for you when printing.
## If you have multiple images or duplicates that you want to go on a single sticker, click select those that should be cut together and then click “Flatten” to make it all one layer.
# [[File:StickerDiagram.png|border|450x450px]]
## An example of duplicating stickers in the Cricut UI.
# '''Click “Make It” in the top right and then “Continue”'''.
# If necessary, connect the Cricut machine to the computer. Remember that the Cricut should be connected to power and turned on.
# '''Click Send to Printer'''.
## The printer selected should be “Microsoft print to PDF”.
## Bleed controls whether or not there is a border around your stickers.
# '''Send the page to the printer:'''
#* '''Insert a thumb drive into the computer'''. Select “Print,” then save the file with a memorable name to the thumb drive. '''OR:'''
#* '''Send Page via Papercut.'''
#** Turn on Use System Dialog and click Print.
#**# Under preferences, change…
#**## … color mode to Auto for color
#**## … paper source to Multi-Purpose Tray
#**## … paper type to Heavy 3
#**# Alternatively, select the Stickers option in the top drop-down menu. (recommended)
#**# Click Print.
#**# Note: the PaperCut software needs to be running for the login to appear. You can alter this in Settings.
# A pop-up should appear, prompting you to enter your PaperCut login credentials. Log in.
#'''Take a sheet of vinyl''' from the sticker vinyl box. There are white and clear vinyl sheets available.
# Go down the hall to the '''Anderson 020 printer''' in the common area.
## If using a thumb drive, insert it into the right side of the printer. Log in with your OneCard, select "Access Device," select your account, and then select "Access Stored Files" to print your sticker sheet.
# '''Open the multipurpose tray''' (it’s the large one on the right side of the printer, the second openable tray from the top) and place your vinyl sheet face-down.
# '''Tap your OneCard and select Heavy 3 under the paper source''' when the printer prompts you to do so.
## If using a thumb drive, select the '''stickers''' preferred setting under '''favorites''' when changing the printing settings, similar to step 13.
# '''Print your stickers'''! This may take somewhat longer than usual prints.
# If you want to cut your stickers using the Cricut, '''select your material as Medium Cardstock''' in the Cricut Design Space.
# '''Take out the mat''' from the drawer labeled "Cricut stuff" to the right of the computer. '''Do not use the pink mat''' unless cutting fabric.
# [[File:Example Sticker Loading.jpg|frameless]]
## Example setup for the Cricut cutter, with the vinyl firmly placed on the mat in the right spot.
# '''Take off the plastic protective covering''' and put your printed sticker sheet in the top left corner of the mat, taking care to avoid wrinkles and making sure it is aligned with the lines on the mat.
#'''Put the mat with your sticker sheet into the machine''', pushing it up against (but not under) the wheels, as shown in the image. There are 2 notches in the machine to help you align it. Ensure that the mat is under those notches.
# '''Click the blinking double arrow button''' to load the mat.
# Once it is loaded, '''click the blinking Cricut C button to start your cut'''. The software will prompt you to change your settings if it cannot scan what it needs to. It will begin cutting if it has correctly scanned the black guiding lines.
# Once your cut is done (it will beep several times and flash its lights), '''click the flashing double arrow button again to unload the mat'''.
# '''Don’t forget to replace the plastic cover on the mat and put it back into the drawer'''!

These are the tools found in the clothing repair kits and how to use them.

[[File:Pins and Pincushion .jpg|thumb|Pins and Pincushion |left]]
The pincushion is used to safely store pins and needles when they are not in use. The pins are used to keep pieces of fabric together when sewing them together, like for making pleats or to keep a hem even.

[[File:Needle and Thread.jpg|thumb|Needle and Thread|left]]
The needle pushes through the fabric, bringing the thread with it. The thread then keeps the fabric secured.

[[File:Tape Measure.jpg|thumb|Tape Measure |left]]
The tape measure can be used to take measurements of the body and to measure fabric.

[[File:Needle Threader.jpg|thumb|Needle Threader|left]]
To use the needle threader, put the wire part of the threader through the eye of the needle. Then, thread the thread through that same wire part. Once the thread is through the wire part, pull the threader out of the eye of the needle.

[[File:Seam Ripper Capped.jpg|thumb|Seam Ripper Capped|left]]
To tear apart seams, place the seam ripper between the seam you wish to pick apart with the piece with the red dot on top. Then, pick up to rip the seam.

[[File:Seam Ripper Handle.jpg|left|thumb|Seam Ripper Using Cap to Extend Handle]]
After uncapping the seam ripper, the cap can be placed on the opposite end to extend the handle to a more comfortable length.
