Seni Jahit - Memahami Jahitan Satu Jaitan dalam Kerajinan Tangan dan DIY
FAQ and Troubleshooting
Here are some common problems that all beginners have when they first start crocheting:
- My crochet edges are uneven.
- My swatch is getting larger (or smaller)!
- I have too few (or too many) stitches.
Don’t worry, we’ve all made those mistakes. But luckily, I’ve got a few tips for you.
Your crochet rows may be uneven if you are inadvertently adding or subtracting stitches.
- The easiest way to solve this problem is to count your stitches as you work. Make sure you are getting the same number for each row.
- Remember that in single crochet, the turning chain does not count as a stitch.
In some cases, you may be starting and ending your rows in the wrong place. Here’s how to fix it:
- Use a couple different colors of stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch of each row. This should help you know where to stitch.
- Then, double-check that you are starting and ending your rows in the correct spot. For single crochet, make the first stitch of the row into the last stitch of the previous row. Then, you’ll make the last stitch of the row into the first stitch of the previous row.
Apa Itu Stitch (Tusuk Jahitan)?
Dalam tekstil, tusuk jahit atau stitch adalah serangkaian putaran tunggal yang berulang-ulang atau loop benang melalui interloping, intralooping, atau interlacing. Ini adalah elemen dasar untuk menjahit, merajut, menyulam, merenda, dan membuat renda jarum, baik dengan tangan atau mesin. Berikut adalah perbedaan atara interlooping, intralooping dan interlacing dalam menjahit:
- Interlooping adalah proses melewati satu lingkaran benang melalui lingkaran lain yang dibentuk oleh benang-benang yang berbeda.
- Intralooping adalah proses melewati loop lain dari thread yang dibuat oleh thread yang sama.
- Interlacing adalah proses melewatkan benang di atas atau di sekitar benang atau loop yang berbeda.
How To Select The Right Types of Stitches For Garments
Now that you know the most common types of stitches, how do you choose the right ones for your designs? Here are some factors to consider:
Material: Different fabrics behave differently during garment construction. Consider the fabric’s characteristics and choose the appropriate stitching method accordingly. For example, a stretchy knit fabric may require a zigzag stitch to maintain elasticity.
Type of Garment: Consider the purpose and style of the garment, as well as your design requirements. Activewear, for instance, may require stronger and more elastic stitches.
Part of the Garment: Different parts of a garment and different seam types may require specific stitches. For example, using a blind hem stitch for invisible hemlines or a reinforced bar tack stitch for pocket openings.
In addition to understanding different types of stitches, knowing when and how to use them will improve your garment construction skills. It’ll also help you understand how various construction details are designed and made.
