Sewing Tools and Materials

A.Measuring tools-are instruments used for obtaining quantities, dimensions, or forces or real-world objects. B.Cutting tools-are instruments that serve well if properly maintained. Sharp cutting tools make clean cuts and will not damage the project. On the other hand, dull tools slow the cutting process and make your hand and wrist tire easily. Sewing cutting tools should not be used for other household tasks. Cutting tools must be sharpened regularly and the joints are oiled occasionally for better use. C.Marking materials-are the tailor’s guide to making the sewing accurate. D.Sewing Materials-are the materials used in the actual sewing process.
