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.

Piqu , or marcella , refers to a weaving style, normally used with cotton yarn, which is characterized by raised parallel cords or fine ribbing. Twill ed cotton and corded cotton are close relatives. The weave is part of white tie , and some accounts even say the fabric was invented specifically for this use. It holds more starch than plain fabric, so produces a stiffer shirt front. Marcella shirts then replaced earlier plain fronts, which remain a valid alternative. Marcella s use then spread to other parts of the dress code and it is now the only fabric used in the tie and waistcoat of white tie. A knit fabric with a similar texture is used in polo shirt s.

refimprove date May 2010 In quilting , foundation piecing was originally used to stabilize pieces of fabric that were stitch textile arts stitch ed together. It first became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries in England, although a 15th century Italian piece, the Impruneta cushion owned by Antonio degli Agli , may have used foundation piecing. It is sometimes referred to as English paper piecing because of its popularity in Britain. Originally pieces of scrap fabric or muslin were used as the foundation. Now, the use of paper , whether tracing paper , freezer paper or some other heavy weight paper, has become very popular for the use as a pattern for in creating quilt block s that are all the same size, each with precise, sharp points and perfectly matched intersections. In addition, information such as color and fabric choices can be written on the paper foundation in order to facilitate the construction of the piece and leaving lesser room for error while sewing . With paper piecing, a shorter stitch length e.g. 12 stitches per inch is used when sewing the components together which makes it easier to tear away the foundation after the block is completed. Several methods can be used to prepare the design for use on the foundation tracing, photocopying, computer printing, needle punching, and pre set designs. There are three primary techniques used when foundation piecing top pressed, under pressed and single template piecing. The technique used is dependent upon your preference and the pattern of the design being sewn. However, under pressed piecing allows for greater accuracy because the sewing is done right on the foundation with the fabric underneath, which allows the stitcher to view the marked seam line and sew directly on it.
