Broderie Perse French for Persian Embroidery is a style of applique embroidery which uses printed elements to create a scene on the background fabric. It was most popular in Europe in the 17th century, and probably travelled from India , as there are some earlier findings there. The technique could be considered an early form of puzzle piecing. Broderie Perse can be done with any printed fabric on any ground, but it originally was worked with Chintz type fabrics. Chintz typically has clearly defined, separated motifs, which were cut out and invisibly applied onto the ground fabric. The typical intention was to create a scene from the motifs, but the decoration could also be random. The resulting fabric was often made into bedspreads, either unlined for summer or quilted for winter. They were typically saved for special occasions, such as guest beds.

A patchwork quilt is a quilt in which the top layer consists of pieces of textile fabric sewing sewn together to form a design. The quilting design does not necessarily follow the patchwork design, and the design of the quilting may play off the patchwork design. Originally, this was to make full use of left over scraps of fabric, but now fabric is often bought specially for a specific design. Fabrics are now often sold in quarter meters or yards in the U.S. . A fat quarter is one square meter folded into four and cut along the folds, thus giving a square piece of fabric 50 cm on a side, as opposed to buying a quarter of a meter off the roll, resulting in a long thin piece that is only 25 cm wide . Designs can be geometry geometric and formal or imaginative. Patchwork blocks were initially created individually, accumulated over time, by use of scrap and salvaged material. Geometric designs were the most efficient way to aggregate fabric into useful units. Applique, where a piece of fabric is layered on top of the a base or ground fabric and then the cut edges are folded under and sewn down, is not limited to simple geometric designs. Early uses of applique in the United States included efforts to expand the effect of expensive, imported European fabrics in early America. The dense printed patterns were cut out, spread apart on a background of plain fabric, allowing the effect of the rare fabric to spread further. Broderie perse is a related techique, were selections of printed fabric are cut out, and sewn in place to produce the effect of a custom printed cloth.

It was excavated, between 1968 and 1974, before the well known sites of Mehrgarh or Nausharo by the French archaeological mission team led by Jean Marie Casal . According to the excavator, this site was occupied from c.1800 BCE to 800 BCE. Historical significance Architecture and material culture The excavator records three phases of unbroken occupation in Pirak, In the first period, structures of unburnt brick associated with a large platform were found. A major part of the pottery was a coarse ware decorated with applique bands and fingertip impressions. Both terracotta and unburnt clay figurines of horses and camels were found, along with numerous bones of both the species. Terracota button seals of circular, square or curved forms were common. The second period also showed a similar assemblage with large numbers of terracota and clay figurines, which include not only Bactrian camels and horses but also human figures, including riders. Along with numerous tools of copper and bronze, first pieces of iron are also found. The third period c.1000 800 BCE produced a greater quantity of iron and a continuation of all the elements of the earlier periods. Along with three varieties and two varieties of barley, rice and sorghum were also found here, which is the first recorded appearance of these two cereals in this region. ref Alchin, Bridget and Frank Raymond Alchin 2003 .

Trade union banners Image TU banners.JPG thumb Banners of Association of University Teachers AUT , National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education NATFHE , Cambridge Labour council TUC and Cambridge University Students Union In the United Kingdom, the first of these banners were sometimes painted by local signwriters, coachpainters or decorators. More often than not, they were made by a member of the local branch who was considered to be artistic. However, from 1837 onwards, more than three quarters were made by the firm of George Tutill of Chesham in Buckinghamshire . All their banners were made from pure silk woven by Huguenots in London . At the height of banner production there were said to be 17,000 loom s in operation. The silk was stretched taut over a wooden frame and coated with India rubber, and the Oil paint oil colours applied to it were old , i.e. had been standing around for a while. This allowed the paint to dry quickly and to make it more pliant or elastic.

Grooved ware is the name given to a pottery style of the British Neolithic . Its manufacturers are sometimes known as the Grooved ware people . Unlike the later Beaker ware , Grooved culture was not an import from the continent but seems to have developed in Orkney , early in the 3rd millennium BC , but was soon adopted in United Kingdom Britain and Ireland . ref name Brad134 p134, Richard Bradley The prehistory of Britain and Ireland, Cambridge University Press, 2007, ISBN 0521848113 ref The diagnostic shape for the style is a flat bottomed pot with straight sides sloping outwards and grooved decoration around the top. Beyond this the pottery comes in many different varieties, some with complex geometric decorations others with applique bands added. The latter has led some archaeologist s to argue that the style is a skeuomorph and is derived from wicker basketry. Grooved ware pots excavated at Balfarg in Fife have been chemically analysed to determine their contents. It appears that some of the vessels there may have been used to hold black henbane Hyoscyamus niger which is a poison but also a powerful hallucinogen. Since many Grooved ware pots have been found at henge sites and in burials it is possible that they may have had a ritual purpose as well as a functional one. Grooved ware comes in many sizes, some vessels are extremely large, c.30gallons, and would be suitable for fermentation. The majority are smaller, ranging from jug to cup size, and could be used for serving and drinking. The theory that the first British farmers c.4000 BC had the knowledge and ability to make Ale from their crops with their pottery appears to be controversial and not yet wideley discussed by the archaeological community. The earliest examples have been found in Orkney and may have evolved from earlier Unstan ware bowls. The recent excavations at nearby Ness of Brodgar have revealed many sherds of finely decorated Grooved ware pottery, some of it representing very large pots. A la ... more details

Iron on transfer paper is available for use with computer printers . Commercial quality heat transfer paper used in a heat press will yield much better results in terms of hand how the print feels on the fabric and durability than store bought papers or transfers applied with a home iron. A number of inkjet, copier and laser printer toners have been developed to utilize this process. This is the process developed at http BlackLightning.com BlackLightning by Walter Jeffries in the 1980s for negatively charged laser printer toners for use in black and white laser printers like those from Apple, HP, Xerox, Canon and other vendors. The advantages of commercial heat transfer over screenprinting are that it is relatively cheap and easy to create one off, full color designs. Also, when compared with dye sublimation techniques, heat transfers can be used on 100 cotton garments, whereas dye sublimation requires at least a 50 50 poly cotton garment. Iron on fabric has a glue backing that melts into another fabric it is applied to with heat. It is used in patching torn clothes or to apply extra fabric in places subject to extreme wear. There are primarily 2 types of iron on labels a form of material tape and a form of vinyl similar to what is used on graphic t shirt s, with the vinyl type the objective is to effectively melt the label onto the cloth so the label and garment become one, hence a permanent bond. The application of a label typically takes about 10 15 seconds for the label to become one with the garment and then a few minutes to cool. Iron on ... more details
