=Bio=<br />
I grew up near Beaumont, TX with a Mom and Grandmother who both sewed and, while I was in high school, they worked for a local fashion designer. That and several other life events, made me realize designing beautiful clothing was my calling. I took pattern making as an elective while in college at Sam Houston University majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Those skills can into play in 2003, when a client at Jo-Ann's Fabrics asked me to make the sample garments for her children's clothing collection and I've been chasing the dream in some form or fashion ever sense. I'm a very versatile designer mostly designing new classics in boutique, cocktail, and evening wear, a MLW [//www.mlwear.com MLWear.com] piece will still be in style several years after it's created. I love to challenge myself and anything that gives my mind a workout inspires me to create. I love creating my work as well as helping others by teaching, pattern-making, dyeing, fiber art and even producing items for them. I have worked as a sewn product developer making safety gear for military, consumer good, and the aerospace industry.<br />

<br />
The Room<br />
<br />
*The Textile Room is a CLEAN SPACE. Please be thoughtful of food and drink inside the area, preferably drinks with lids and food without lots of liquid. In particular, do not place anything besides the clothes iron, clean laundered fabric, pins and notions on the padded work table. If something has been on the floor or anywhere dirty, it should not be on the work surface.<br />
*Put things back where you got them (or put them in their proper place if someone else happened to leave them out).<br />
*Clean up after yourself. (Lint roll the table, sweep, etc)<br />
*Children under 6 are not permitted to use the equipment and must be supervised.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ironing:<br />
<br />
*The padded table is for cutting, ironing, and pinning projects together<br />
*Always use the distilled water provided in the Textile Room to fill the irons and spray bottles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cutting:<br />
<br />
*Use only scissors, shears or fabric rotary cutters on the cutting mat, it is not made for leather. Use a light touch when using a rotary cutter. Do not use a box/utility knife on the cutting mat.<br />
*Textile scissors and shears have been labeled as “Fabric Only” or "leather scissors" and are only to be used to cut the following Acceptable Fabrics. Do not cut material from the Unacceptable Fabrics list below. If the material you would like to cut is not on either list, ask the Area Lead if it is safe.<br />
<br />

*If a machine is broken, place a sticky note on the machine and email [[Mailto:textiles@makeict.org|textiles@makeict.org]] asap so we can work to get it up and running again.<br />
*Machine needles are available on the honor system. If you take or break one, please deposit $1.00 in the Donations box.<br />
*Long pile furs such as rabbit require a furrier machine which we do not possess at this time.<br />
*If using a fusible web such as Heat and Bond please use silicone on the machine needle to prevent build up while sewing and a Teflon sheet when ironing.<br />

=Bio=<br />
I grew up near Beaumont, TX with a Mom and Grandmother who both sewed and, while I was in high school, they worked for a local fashion designer. That and several other life events, made me realize designing beautiful clothing was my calling. I took pattern making as an elective while in college at Sam Houston University majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Those skills can into play in 2003, when a client at Jo-Ann's Fabrics asked me to make the sample garments for her children's clothing collection and I've been chasing the dream in some form or fashion ever sense. I'm a very versatile designer mostly designing new classics in boutique, cocktail, and evening wear, a MLW [//www.mlwear.com MLWear.com] piece will still be in style several years after it's created. I love to challenge myself and anything that gives my mind a workout inspires me to create. I love creating my work as well as helping others by teaching, pattern-making, dyeing, fiber art and even producing items for them. I have worked as a sewn product developer making safety gear for military, consumer good, and the aerospace industry.<br />

<br />
==Textile Room Guidelines==<br />
Guidelines will be updated periodically at the discretion of the Textiles Area Lead.<br />
<br />
The Room<br />
<br />
*The Textile Room is a CLEAN SPACE. Please be thoughtful of food and drink inside the area, preferably drinks with lids and food without lots of liquid. In particular, do not place anything besides the clothes iron, clean laundered fabric, pins and notions on the padded work table. If something has been on the floor or anywhere dirty, it should not be on the work surface.<br />
*Put things back where you got them (or put them in their proper place if someone else happened to leave them out).<br />
*Clean up after yourself. (Lint roll the table, sweep, etc)<br />
*Children under 6 are not permitted to use the equipment and must be supervised.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ironing:<br />
<br />
*The padded tables are for cutting, ironing, and pinning projects together<br />
*Always use the distilled water provided in the Textile Room to fill the irons and spray bottles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cutting:<br />
<br />
*Use only scissors, shears or fabric rotary cutters on the cutting mat, it is not made for leather. Use a light touch when using a rotary cutter. Do not use a box/utility knife on the cutting mat.<br />
*Textile scissors and shears have been labeled as “Fabric Only” or "leather scissors" and are only to be used to cut the following Acceptable Fabrics. Do not cut material from the Unacceptable Fabrics list below. If the material you would like to cut is not on either list, ask the Area Lead if it is safe.<br />
<br />
'''Acceptable Fabrics''': are woven or felted up to ⅛” thick. Some examples are cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, polyester, rayon/viscose, nylon, spandex, silk, leather...<br />
<br />
'''Unacceptable Fabrics''': Some examples are heavy metallic, kevlar, fur, faux fur, or anything above 15 oz per square yard… (Fur and faux fur are cut from the back side with a straight edge knife or ripped on grain.)...<br />
<br />
<br />
Gammill Longarm Quilter: Authorized users only. Contact Textiles@makeict.org to schedule Authorization.<br />
<br />
*Authorization is done on a one on one basis and takes at least 4 hour.<br />

<br />
Sergers: Authorized Users only can change the thread. Contact Textiles@makeict.org to schedule Authorization. <br />
<br />
*We currently have 2 sergers one set in black and one set in white thread. Anyone can use the sergers.<br />
*If the thread breaks please let the areal lead or an assistant know.<br />
*You may use the sergers, authorization is only for changing the thread or repair and upkeep.<br />
*Home sergers only have size 11 and 14 needles please stick to fabrics in those ranges that ravel on the edge. [https://littleragamuffin.com/choosing-the-right-size-needle/ NEEDLE CHART]<br />

*If a machine is broken, place a sticky note on the machine and email the Area Lead asap so we can work to get it up and running again.<br />
*Machine needles are available on the honor system for $2 pack. Machines will typically be found without a needle. If you take or break one, please deposit the appropriate amount in the Needle Fund jar.<br />
*Long pile furs such as rabbit require a furrier machine which we do not possess at this time.<br />
*If using a fusible web such as Heat and Bond please use silicone on the machine needle to prevent build up while sewing and a Teflon sheet when ironing.<br />

Authorization for Use of Gammill Quilting Machine<br />
<br />
We have a Gammill Premier Plus machine - 18-8 (with stitch regulator) with a Vision 2.0 12’ fixed arm quilting frame<br />
<br />
The machine is not computerized. To do that we would need to add a Statler Stitcher. It has a ruler table, as well as a laser guide for patterns/pantographs. We have several rulers and a number of pantographs that are available for use. <br />
<br />
None of the materials may be removed from the makerspace. Availability of the machine is based on reservation which is not to exceed 5 days without prior approval. Machine is for use by members only.<br />
<br />
Considerations regarding use of the machine:<br />
<br />
#Confirmation that the member has sufficient sewing and basic quilt top construction knowledge to prevent damage to the machine. This includes cutting, piecing, seam width and pressing. Peer review by lead or assistant lead will be required.<br />
<br />
Note: Quilting Classes including Piecing 101 which includes proper cutting and assembling techniques will be offered if requested.<br />
<br />

#Introduction to the machine and table.<br />
#Resources: <br />
##YouTube videos. [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuji8lA3jTnKFjKRK4vbMzA Linda’s Electric Quilters - a great source.] <br />
##‘Gammill Quilting Machine Company Service Manual’ (has photo on the front), referred to at the “Manual” below<br />
##“Sewing Machine Maintenance Topics” by Creative Designer Lines.<br />
#Discussion of machine use:<br />
##Two sides of machine and their uses<br />
##Modes: Manual and stitch regulator (include size and speed of stitch). Both manual (continuous stitch) and regulated stitch (stitch only when moving) and parking the head. Chapters 11 and 12 of the “Manual”<br />
##Maintenance<br />
###Regular maintenance - cleaning of head, table and tracks<br />
###Discussion of Oiling after 6-8 hours of quilting. Also refer to section 9 of the “Manual”.<br />
##Error resolution <br />
###Tangled threading, needles, lint and bobbin issues.<br />
#Discussion of threads (see pages 5-1 to 5-4 of “Manual”), Introduction to threading diagram (including instruction on how to use tie off threading) and the bobbin as well as the bobbin winder. Threading the machine - (Chapter 6 in manual) Reference single sheet “Threading Guide”.<br />
#Needles - Note the recommendation to change the needle after each quilt. This assumes larger quilts. For smaller ones every other quilt might be enough. (6-10 in the manual - Note the photo of the properly inserted needle. Pay careful attention to this. Improper insertion can damage both needle and shank. <br />
#Loading the quilt - there are as many ways to load a quilt as there are quilters - you will develop your own style. Just remember that the rollers are marked and the designated materials need to be attached to the appropriate roller. See manual pages 4-1 - 4-7. Stabilizing the quilt is important for many applications.. There are many YouTubes that will tell you more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmj2KbTtclI&ab_channel=THEQUILTSHOWTHEQUILTSHOW <br />
##Show attaching backing to roller, attach top to roller then backing to take up, set batting, stitch and then top. Include side clamps.<br />
##Already assembled backing, batting and top.<br />
##Floating the quilt.<br />
##Note: battings, backings should all be as “square” as possible.<br />
##<br />
#Test load using the user's quilt or test materials. Include the side clamps.<br />
#How to Start the machine - pull up thread<br />
#Directionality of sewing, patterns and quilting space - beginners markings with tape<br />
##See Chapter 13 in the Manual regarding stitching patterns/pantographs<br />
#Sample stitching. Talk about patterns, rulers and pantographs. There are many YouTube Videos that explain the process. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk-nSLvlQoA&ab_channel=Linda%27sElectricQuiltersLinda%27sElectricQuilters This is one]<br />

<br />
==Textile Room Guidelines==<br />
Guidelines will be updated periodically at the discretion of the Textiles Area Lead.<br />
<br />
The Room<br />
<br />
*The Textile Room is a CLEAN SPACE. Please be thoughtful of food and drink inside the area, preferably drinks with lids and food without lots of liquid. In particular, do not place anything besides the clothes iron, clean laundered fabric, pins and notions on the padded work table. If something has been on the floor or anywhere dirty, it should not be on the work surface.<br />
*Put things back where you got them (or put them in their proper place if someone else happened to leave them out).<br />
*Clean up after yourself. (Lint roll the table, sweep, etc)<br />
*Children under 6 are not permitted to use the equipment and must be supervised.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ironing:<br />
<br />
*The padded tables are for cutting, ironing, and pinning projects together<br />
*Always use the distilled water provided in the Textile Room to fill the irons and spray bottles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cutting:<br />
<br />
*Use only scissors, shears or fabric rotary cutters on the cutting mat, it is not made for leather. Use a light touch when using a rotary cutter. Do not use a box/utility knife on the cutting mat.<br />
*Textile scissors and shears have been labeled as “Fabric Only” or "leather scissors" and are only to be used to cut the following Acceptable Fabrics. Do not cut material from the Unacceptable Fabrics list below. If the material you would like to cut is not on either list, ask the Area Lead if it is safe.<br />
<br />
'''Acceptable Fabrics''': are woven or felted up to ⅛” thick. Some examples are cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, polyester, rayon/viscose, nylon, spandex, silk, leather...<br />
<br />
'''Unacceptable Fabrics''': Some examples are heavy metallic, kevlar, fur, faux fur, or anything above 15 oz per square yard… (Fur and faux fur are cut from the back side with a straight edge knife or ripped on grain.)...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Are you a textile aficionado? Do you dabble in the textile arts? Are you looking for a tribe to encourage and inspire your fiber artistic creativity? Or do you have questions about textiles you need answered? Once a month we will get together to encourage each other to explore fiber in it's many forms and work through our UFOs(unfinished fiber objects). So come play with your yarns, thread, cloths, felts, or fibers in whichever state they exist. Hand, machine, and print work encouraged.</div>Malissa Longhttps://wiki.makeict.org/index.php?title=Textiles_Area&diff=7005Textiles Area2021-05-04T18:34:53Z<p>Malissa Long: /* Classes */</p>

==Access Policy==<br />
{{:Textiles_Access_Policy}}<br />
<br />
==Textile Room Guidelines==<br />
Guidelines will be updated periodically at the discretion of the Textiles Area Lead.<br />
<br />
The Room<br />
<br />
*The Textile Room is a CLEAN SPACE. Please be thoughtful of food and drink inside the area, preferably drinks with lids and food without lots of liquid. In particular, do not place anything besides the clothes iron, clean laundered fabric, pins and notions on the padded work table. If something has been on the floor or anywhere dirty, it should not be on the work surface.<br />
*Put things back where you got them (or put them in their proper place if someone else happened to leave them out).<br />
*Clean up after yourself. (Lint roll the table, sweep, etc)<br />
*Children under 6 are not permitted to use the equipment and must be supervised.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ironing:<br />
<br />
*The padded tables are for cutting, ironing, and pinning projects together<br />
*Always use the distilled water provided in the Textile Room to fill the irons and spray bottles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cutting:<br />
<br />
*Use only scissors, shears or fabric rotary cutters on the cutting mat, it is not made for leather. Use a light touch when using a rotary cutter. Do not use a box/utility knife on the cutting mat.<br />
*Textile scissors and shears have been labeled as “Fabric Only” or "leather scissors" and are only to be used to cut the following Acceptable Fabrics. Do not cut material from the Unacceptable Fabrics list below. If the material you would like to cut is not on either list, ask the Area Lead if it is safe.<br />
<br />
'''Acceptable Fabrics''': are woven or felted up to ⅛” thick. Some examples are cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, polyester, rayon/viscose, nylon, spandex, silk, leather...<br />
<br />
'''Unacceptable Fabrics''': Some examples are heavy metallic, kevlar, fur, faux fur, or anything above 15 oz per square yard… (Fur and faux fur are cut from the back side with a straight edge knife or ripped on grain.)...<br />
<br />
<br />
Serging:<br />
<br />
*We currently have 2 sergers one set in black and one set in white thread. Anyone can use the sergers.<br />
*If the thread breaks please let the areal lead or an assistant know.<br />
*You may use the sergers, authorization is only for changing the thread or repair and upkeep.<br />
*Home sergers only have size 11 and 14 needles please stick to fabrics in those ranges that ravel on the edge. [https://littleragamuffin.com/choosing-the-right-size-needle/ NEEDLE CHART]<br />
*You can get authorization to change the thread by demonstrating the ability to change it or taking the Know Your Serger Class.<br />
<br />
Techsew and Sailrite:<br />
<br />
*Have notebooks and videos. If you're still uncomfortable with the machines I can give you a lesson, please contact me.<br />
<br />
Sewing:<br />
<br />
*All our current machines are Brother cs-6000i you can find a video in the equipment list.<br />
*If a machine is broken, place a sticky note on the machine and email the Area Lead asap so we can work to get it up and running again.<br />
*Machine needles are available on the honor system for $2 pack. Machines will typically be found without a needle. If you take or break one, please deposit the appropriate amount in the Needle Fund jar.<br />
*Long pile furs such as rabbit require a furrier machine which we do not possess at this time.<br />
*If using a fusible web such as Heat and Bond please use silicone on the machine needle to prevent build up while sewing and a Teflon sheet when ironing.<br />

= Bio =<br />
I grew up near Beaumont, TX with a Mom and Grandmother who both sewed and, while I was in high school, they worked for a local fashion designer. That and several other life events, made me realize designing beautiful clothing was my calling. I took pattern making as an elective while in college at Sam Houston University majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Those skills can into play in 2003, when a client at Jo-Ann's Fabrics asked me to make the sample garments for her children's clothing collection and I've been chasing the dream in some form or fashion ever sense. I'm a very versatile designer mostly designing new classics in boutique, cocktail, and evening wear, a MLW [//www.mlwear.com MLWear.com] piece will still be in style several years after it's created. I love to challenge myself and anything that gives my mind a workout inspires me to create. I love creating my work as well as helping others by teaching, pattern-making, dyeing, fiber art and even producing items for them. I have worked as a sewn product developer making safety gear for military, consumer good, and the aerospace industry.<br />

= Bio =<br />
I grew up near Beaumont, TX with a Mom and Grandmother who both sewed and, while I was in high school, they worked for a local fashion designer. That and several other life events, made me realize designing beautiful clothing was my calling. I took pattern making as an elective while in college at Sam Houston University majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Those skills can into play in 2003, when a client at Jo-Ann's Fabrics asked me to make the sample garments for her children's clothing collection and I've been chasing the dream in some form or fashion ever sense. I'm a very versatile designer mostly designing new classics in boutique, cocktail, and evening wear, a MLW [//www.mlwear.com MLWear.com] piece will still be in style several years after it's created. I love to challenge myself and anything that gives my mind a workout inspires me to create. I love creating my work as well as helping others by teaching, pattern-making, dyeing, fiber art and even producing items for them. I have worked as a sewn product developer making safety gear for military, consumer good, and the aerospace industry.<br />

<br />
==Textile Room Guidelines==<br />
Guidelines will be updated periodically at the discretion of the Textiles Area Lead.<br />
<br />
The Room<br />
<br />
*The Textile Room is a CLEAN SPACE. Please be thoughtful of food and drink inside the area, preferably drinks with lids and food without lots of liquid. In particular, do not place anything besides the clothes iron, clean laundered fabric, pins and notions on the padded work table. If something has been on the floor or anywhere dirty, it should not be on the work surface.<br />
*Put things back where you got them (or put them in their proper place if someone else happened to leave them out).<br />
*Clean up after yourself. (Lint roll the table, sweep, etc)<br />
*Children under 6 are not permitted to use the equipment and must be supervised.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ironing:<br />
<br />
*The padded tables are for cutting, ironing, and pinning projects together<br />
*Always use the distilled water provided in the Textile Room to fill the irons and spray bottles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cutting:<br />
<br />
*Use only scissors, shears or fabric rotary cutters on the cutting mat, it is not made for leather. Use a light touch when using a rotary cutter. Do not use a box/utility knife on the cutting mat.<br />
*Textile scissors and shears have been labeled as “Fabric Only” or "leather scissors" and are only to be used to cut the following Acceptable Fabrics. Do not cut material from the Unacceptable Fabrics list below. If the material you would like to cut is not on either list, ask the Area Lead if it is safe.<br />
<br />
'''Acceptable Fabrics''': are woven or felted up to ⅛” thick. Some examples are cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, polyester, rayon/viscose, nylon, spandex, silk, leather...<br />
<br />
'''Unacceptable Fabrics''': Some examples are heavy metallic, kevlar, fur, faux fur, or anything above 15 oz per square yard… (Fur and faux fur are cut from the back side with a straight edge knife or ripped on grain.)...<br />
<br />
<br />
Serging:<br />
<br />
*We currently have 2 sergers one set in black and one set in white thread. Anyone can use the sergers.<br />
*If the thread breaks please let the areal lead or an assistant know.<br />
*You may use the sergers, authorization is only for changing the thread or repair and upkeep.<br />
*Home sergers only have size 11 and 14 needles please stick to fabrics in those ranges that ravel on the edge. [https://littleragamuffin.com/choosing-the-right-size-needle/ NEEDLE CHART]<br />
*You can get authorization to change the thread by demonstrating the ability to change it or taking the Know Your Serger Class.<br />
<br />
Techsew and Sailrite:<br />
<br />
*Have notebooks and videos. If you're still uncomfortable with the machines I can give you a lesson, please contact me.<br />
<br />
Sewing:<br />
<br />
*All our current machines are Brother cs-6000i you can find a video in the equipment list.<br />
*If a machine is broken, place a sticky note on the machine and email the Area Lead asap so we can work to get it up and running again.<br />
*Machine needles are available on the honor system for $2 pack. Machines will typically be found without a needle. If you take or break one, please deposit the appropriate amount in the Needle Fund jar.<br />
*Long pile furs such as rabbit require a furrier machine which we do not possess at this time.<br />
*If using a fusible web such as Heat and Bond please use silicone on the machine needle to prevent build up while sewing and a Teflon sheet when ironing.<br />

<br />
Are you a textile aficionado? Do you dabble in the textile arts? Are you looking for a tribe to encourage and inspire your fiber artistic creativity? Or do you have questions about textiles you need answered? Once a month we will get together to encourage each other to explore fiber in it's many forms and work through our UFOs(unfinished fiber objects). So come play with your yarns, thread, cloths, felts, or fibers in whichever state they exist. Hand, machine, and print work encouraged.</div>Malissa Longhttps://wiki.makeict.org/index.php?title=Contact_Information&diff=6506Contact Information2019-11-10T00:42:47Z<p>Malissa Long: /* Committee Leads */</p>
