Machine embroidery encodes skin-like tension lines in textiles, enabling mass-customizable wearables

A zigzag stitch enables fabric to stretch until the thread is straight. University of Tartu researchers report in Advanced Materials that thread packing can encode fabric stretchability, leading the way to tailoring wearables at an industrial scale.

Interesting tidbit from The Quilter’s Crossing newsletter -

“Shannon Fabrics just recently released ‘Quilting Cuddle’. Quilting Cuddle is digitally printed on our patent-pending, ultra-soft Quilting Cuddle® fabric … this low-pile (1.5mm), low-stretch minky offers buttery softness with added stability. It's ideal for traditional 1/4" piecing, patchwork quilts, small appliqué, clothing, and more”

A less stretchy Minky? Yes, please! (think this is what Spoonflower does too)

Think of me if you ever want something custom made for you. Here is a link to see a loookbook pdf of some non-custom patterns that I have for sale https://alipunk.neocities.org/studio

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
When the oligarchy gives you chaos and despair, make something with your scraps!

I know we're a scrappy bunch, and we're about to see the extent of our collective creativity as we roll up our sleeves and use what we already have.

Get ready to make your unique dream coat.

Yet another small biz hurting, and raising prices, because of the utterly stupid #tariffs that are just a part of the incredibly awful timeline we are in.

Sigh.

This is a #sewing, #craft, and #fabric organization of #makers .

I am on the hunt for people who make things. Physical things. Physical things in a workshop. Or at home. Or in a studio. Or outside. But they have to be physical things. And you make them. Handmade or with machines.

I’d like to follow you and see what you make.

Please can you boost this post so that I get some reach on this post.

Many thanks.
