A canvas is a structure made up of textile fibers. This
structure can be achieved in 3 different ways that, in some way, divide the
work procedures. We have: plain or openwork knitting, knitting and bonding
techniques. techwadia
Flat weaving is done on a machine called a loom and
consisting of weaving 2 threads, generally forming a right angle. Let's affirm
that it is like when in elementary school the teacher made us bring ice cream
sticks and we put together a small board by inserting perpendicular sticks one
above, one below, one above one below. One of the threads is the warp and the
other is the weft. The flat weave can be worked on the thread, across or on the
side. The tendons used for the preparation of the flat fabric are the ones that
give rise to the different fabrics such as twill, taffeta, satin. tc bolts
Classification of flat fabrics
Taffeta
It is the but easy that it achieves when its step is formed
by two units of threads. The weft yarn pass over and under the warp as an
alternative option. It is the fabric but simple, but used, but inexpensive due
to its design, it is easily cleaned on light and heavy canvases.
Diagonal or twill
It is formed when the echelon is formed by 2 numbers, one of
which is greater than the unit and the other the unit. This fabric forms
diagonal lines on the canvas, they are heavy, durable, it retains its shape,
the diagonal lines go in exactly the same direction with the twisting of the
threads, they are expensive but do not show dirt soon.
Satins or satin
They are not practical for active sports, they tear, with
use they look greasy, it is more expensive to have the tie points but
separated, the surface looks shiny, reflecting better the light. The hands
slide but simply along the length the twill principle is used for its
preparation, but the tie points are so far apart that they are not formed
diagonally.
Flat woven fabrics
As we have already said, these canvases are practically the
same on both sides, presenting complexity to distinguish the right backwards.
In this case we choose the side that we like the most and leave it as the right
side marking the reverse with a white pen in different parts. We can also
continue along the edge of the canvas.
Dacron, denim, ponytail, linen, satin, chiffon, arrange,
crepe, twill, lick, Denia, taffeta, lurex.
Flat fabrics are NOT elastic: liveries, pants, shorts, and
fabrics such as poplin, dienim, Oxford, canvas etc.
As taffeta is a very thin canvas, silk, very dense and works
wonderfully for type A skirts.
Chiffon is a soft textured fabric that can be made of silk,
cotton or velvet or rayon and gives a rich drape to dresses .
