The breaking of threads during sewing is mainly due to
- A.
Tensile Stess
- B.
Fraying
- C.
Needle Heating
- D.
Combination of all of the above
Correct Answer
D. Combination of all of the aboveExplanation
The breaking of threads during sewing can be caused by a combination of factors. Tensile stress occurs when the thread is pulled too tightly, which can lead to breakage. Fraying, which is the unraveling of the thread, can weaken it and cause it to break. Needle heating can also contribute to thread breakage, as the heat generated by the needle can weaken the thread. Therefore, it is likely that the breaking of threads during sewing is due to a combination of all of these factors.Rate this question:

Under Certain conditions the maximum temperature of the needle can reach
- A.
350 degrees C
- B.
400 degrees C
- C.
425 degrees C
- D.
450 degrees C
Correct Answer
D. 450 degrees CExplanation
Under certain conditions, the maximum temperature of the needle can reach 450 degrees Celsius. This suggests that the needle is capable of withstanding high temperatures and can be used in situations where extreme heat is present. It is important to note that these conditions may vary and the needle may not always reach this maximum temperature.Rate this question:

Stitch Types are mainly divided into how many categories?
Correct Answer
2, two, 2Explanation
Stitch types are primarily divided into two categories: lockstitch and chainstitch. Lockstitch involves two threads interlocking within the fabric, commonly used in sewing machines. Chainstitch forms a series of looped stitches, often used in embroidery and decorative stitching. These categories encompass various stitch variations used in sewing and textile crafts.Rate this question:

We reset to standard and check loop formation when..........
- A.
Thread tension is too light
- B.
Insufficient Hook lubrication
- C.
Needle bar height is not correct
- D.
Wrong Needle System
Correct Answer
C. Needle bar height is not correctExplanation
When the needle bar height is not correct, it can cause issues with the formation of loops in the sewing process. The needle bar height refers to the position of the needle bar, which determines the timing and coordination between the needle and the hook. If the needle bar height is not set correctly, it can result in improper loop formation, leading to stitching problems such as skipped stitches or thread breakage. Therefore, it is important to reset to standard and check loop formation when the needle bar height is not correct.Rate this question:

Displacement Puckering
- B.
Transportation Puckering
- C.
Relaxation Puckering
- D.
Consticrted Puckering
Correct Answer
A. Displacement PuckeringExplanation
When sewing thread is inserted into fabric, it displaces the yarns near the stitch hole. This displacement creates tension in the fabric, causing it to pucker. This type of puckering is known as displacement puckering.Rate this question:

Skipped Stitch occurs when the loop of the needle thread is not picked up by the
- A.
Throat Plate
- B.
Feeder
- C.
Point of hook or looper
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Point of hook or looperExplanation
Skipped stitch occurs when the loop of the needle thread is not picked up by the point of hook or looper. The point of hook or looper is responsible for catching the needle thread and forming the stitch. If the point of hook or looper fails to catch the thread, a skipped stitch will occur. The other options, throat plate and feeder, do not directly affect the picking up of the needle thread and therefore cannot be the correct answer.Rate this question:

We should always use a new needle for a new project to prevent needles from getting dull or hooked at the tip.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Using a new needle for a new project is important to prevent needles from getting dull or hooked at the tip. Reusing needles can cause them to become blunt or damaged, which can affect the quality of the stitches and make sewing more difficult. By using a new needle, we ensure that it is sharp and in good condition, allowing for smooth and precise sewing. This practice also helps to prevent any potential damage to the fabric or thread, resulting in a better overall outcome for the project.Rate this question:
