Ultrasew Technology: using this technique has weld the fabric together sealing the edge for a neat finish. It's worked quite well on this polyester satin fabric, but isnt the type of fabric i'm looking to use.
Lay Down Bonding and Feed of Arm Bonding Machines: This creates a flat seam with this fabric, this was just a general sample to see what the technique appeared like, I'm not looking to use this fabric in my designs. I couldn't see how I could be creative with this technique, I thought it was quite restrictive, and couldn't to express my mushroom shapes.
Hot Taping Machine: This machine covers a seam with a stitch to create a waterproof seam and can help prevent abrasion against the skin by using different tapes. While in the process of developing my design ideas from my consumer and beautiful object, I was looking for quite a soft elegant look, and nothing came to mind about incorporating waterproof items into my collection. You could use this technique to create detail on the surface of a garment, but since I didn't see any vauable use for the technology for my collection, I did not develop the technique further.
Ultrasonic Welder: This machine uses a wheel, that can either create a seam, or be used as a decorative detail with the variety of wheels available. The pvc plastic is not the type of fabric I'd use, so I want to further develop this technique and test it out on my chosen fabric to see if it could be used as a construction method.
Bonding Machine: This machine can provide a neat finish to fabric, sealing the raw edge. I couldn't see how I could develop this technique creatively but want to further develop this technique on my chosen fabric.
Lay Down Bonding and Feed of Arm Bonding Machines: This is using the same machines as a previous sample, but using it in a different method. By applying the glue to the edge of the fabric and sealing the edge over, it creates a clean finish that gets rid of the raw edge. I liked how this method was very untraditional, but it creates a very stiff edge which wouldn't provide a nice feel or appear on my chosen fabric.
Brother PR-620 Embroidery Machine: You can create whatever design you want, and let the machine stitch it's way to create your chosen image. I liked this technique, but didn't think it could portray my mushroom ideas. It's a useful way of making a garment decorative, but in a 2D way, whereas I wanted to give my designs and garments decoration in 3D.
Ultrasonic Welder: Further developing this technology on a fabric I am potentially thinking of using. I have successfully created a seam on this fragile fabric, its created an interesting look, but I don't think it would be strong enough to hold a seam and it spoils the look I'm going for with this soft, fine fabric.
Ultrasew Technology: This machine has created a nice simple seam, that is fairly strong and barely visible with the seam allowance melting off as it's constructed. I quite like this technique and want to develop it further with this fabric.
Ultrasew Technology: I wanted to test out the technology on a similar fabric, thats even more transparent to see if you could see the seam. With this netting, you can barely see the seam, it isn't very strong and isnt the fabric I'm going to use, but I think it's worked quite well.
