Sample text

Polyester has the worst track record for bearding, and some wool batts are also susceptible to bearding. However, batting is not the only culprit; fabric weave can also cause bearding. When you are learning to identify the quality of cloth, start to notice the feel, or the L e a r n i n g b y t e s t i n g 55 “hand” of a fabric. You will often find the softer and more supple the fabric, the higher the thread count. An example of this would be the difference in the feel between dress goods and decorator fabrics.

Properly tentered fabrics will be straight. This means that the warp and filling yarns are at 90° angles to one another. A tenter frame holds the fabric between two parallel chains, with either clips (tenters) or pins, while adjusting the side-toside alignment of the cloth. Photo: Cevin Brent Smith The chains spread apart to the desired fabric that will cause problems for the consumer. We see this problem frequently with printed plaids and prints with a directional design. The fabric grain is straight, but the design is not.

Resins produce a durable finish which usually lasts the life of the item. Resin treating fabrics is an established form of finish control. However, over-application of resins in conjunction with heat causes loss of tensile strength in the fabric. Polished cotton and chintz are quilting fabrics finished by glazing calendering. These substances fill the spaces between the yarns and are necessary to provide the glazed appearance. • High-polish finishes can wash off and dull in water, but they do hold a crease if resin is incorporated in the finishing process.
