The Wonders of Sewing
Sewing isn't what many think it is, it may be a simple task, but wait until you see what sewing is all about. The sewing industry is in fact a multi-billion dollar industry that spans the globe, from the lowly seamstress that fixes and mends clothes for a living, to the high echelons of the rich and famous that have considered clothing as a money-making enterprise.
Sewing isn't just sewing, there are many other applications that make it an integral part of the process.
Romina Abrigo Editor of the "Sewing Machines For Sale" website -- http://www.SewingMachinesForsale.me -- pointed out;
"…There is the process of dressmaking and tailoring, where many world-famous designers have been known to have made their mark in high society…" Added Romina Abrigo
Many designers have created a niche in the fabric and textile industry, known all over the world for their ingenious and artistic designs that have wowed fashionable individuals and consumers alike.
Billions of dollars have been pouring in for a chance to don these works of art, some for showing off and some for day-to-day wear.
Still, these designers rely on the process of sewing to portray their fashionable creations and visions.
Another major dollar earner are the ready-to-wear clothing manufacturers that mass-produce and manufacture clothes and garments for daily living.
From t-shirts to formal wear, blouses, denim wear, pants, undergarments, socks and hats, all these ready-to-wear items undergo the process of sewing.
Take a look at shoes, from athletic to formal or simply day-to-day footwear, whether it be pure or synthetic leather, canvass or meshed nylon fabric, these also make use of sewing to create the shoes that we wear.
Take a look inside the home, from curtains, furniture, upholstery, bed sheets, table wear, rugs and carpets, as long as it forms a pattern, it made use of sewing to finally make it a household item.
There are various techniques applied from sewing, basting, cutting, darning, dressmaking, embellishment for decorations or wearable clothes, gathering, heirloom, pleating, ruffling, style lining, tailoring, backstitching, blanketing, buttonholing, chain stitching, interfacing, embroidering, lock stitching, overlocking, running, shashiko, tacking etc. There is so much that you can do with sewing.
Even in the medical field, conventional surgery requires the stitching or sewing up of a wound to close it after a surgical process.
"…Sewing, indeed, has varied applications that make up an important part of everyday living and will continue to remain an important aspect of our day-to-day lives…" Added Romina Abrigo

how do you use elastic thread on a sewing machine to make a gathering stitch that will stretch?
DO you just use the elastic thread on the bobbin? I do not want to use any piece of elastic, just the thread. THanks
Elastic thread shirring -- and steaming the fabric at the end is important -- it allows the elastic to shrink back up again.
