There are 2 main shapes of thread, the best fit varying on where in the sewing machine they are being used.  \nThere are spools: taller, able to hold more thread, and bobbins: shorter, usually with a clear body.  \nWhen using a sewing machine, the spool gets loaded into the top of the machine and through the needle so that it can be seen on the top of the fabric (yellow in graphic) . The bobbin gets loaded into the underside of the machine (green in graphic) and helps catch the top thread, locking the fabric between the two threads.  \nNeedle:  \nThe needle is the tool that brings the thread through the fabric. The main parts of the needle are the eye, or the hole the thread goes through, and the point, the part that pierces the fabric. On hand sewing needles ( left image) , the point and the eye are at opposite ends of the needle. Needles for the sewing machine (right image) have the eye and point at the same end.  \nFabric Scissors:  \nThe fabric scissors in SILab are the black and purple, and the teal scissors. They are just like regular scissors but sharper so they can cleanly cut through fabrics on the first try. Using them to cut things like paper or cardboard dulls them rapidly.  \nRotary Cutter and Cutting Mat:  \nIn the same drawer as the fabric scissors are the rotary cutter ( left image) and the cutting mat (right image) . Any time you are using the rotary cutter, you should be using the cutting mat. The rotary cutter is a handheld wheel blade which is useful for making large cuts or for cutting through multiple layers of fabric atthe same time. This is because you are pushing the blade into the fabric and cutting mat, rather than having to pick it up like you would have to when using scissors.  \nFabric Marking Tools:  \nFabric marking tools are anything that you can use to make markings on fabric. It can be helpful to draw out where you plan to cut or sew something before you do it to cut down on wasted materials.  \nFabric Chalk: The chalk triangles in different colors are perfect for marking fabric: they are flat so the line is sharp, different colors so the marks show up on a variety of fabrics, and washable so no marks will be left on the final project.  \nSharpie or other markers: Markers work well on meshand other synthetic fabrics, but the ink can spread in cottons leading to an unclear line. They also will not wash out of the final project and can sometimes bleed through the fabric to show on the other side.  \nPencils: Pencils work well for flat, light colored fabric but can be harder to see on darker colored fabrics. Sometimes the pencil washes out, but other times it will leave a semi-permanent stain on the fabric, though it generally doesn’t bleed through to the other side of the fabric.  \nFlexible Tape Measure:  \nWe have 2 styles of flexible tape measure, one that is retractable (black circle) and one that isn’t (pink) . These are great for measuring body parts or other curved objects.  \nPins and Pin Cushion:  \nPins are great for holding fabric in place before you either hand or machine sew it. The glass ball on the end makes it easy to pull them out of the fabric quickly. The pins get stored in the pin cushion (green tomato) so it is easy to grab one without them getting","cbCailRuKFmYAVSK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailRuKFmYAVSK","pdf",12427508,48,"English","# Glossary\n## Thread\n## Needle\n## Fabric Scissors\n## Rotary Cutter and Cutting Mat\n## Fabric Marking Tools\n## Flexible Tape Measure\n## Pins and Pin Cushion\n## Thimbles\n## Seam Ripper\n## Fabric Glue\n## Embroidery Hoops\n## Sewing Cabinet\n# Preparing Fabric\n## Measuring and Marking Fabric\n## Cutting\n## Pinning\n# Sewing Machine\n## Before Turning on the Machine\n## Putting in a Spool\n## Loading a Bobbin\n## Threading the Needle\n## Selecting a Stitch\n## Stitch Options\n## Changing the Foot\n## Sewing","[{\"question\":\"What are the two main shapes of thread, and why do they differ?\",\"answer\":\"The guide states there are two main shapes of thread, and the best fit depends on where each is used in the sewing machine.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the spool and bobbin work together in a sewing machine?\",\"answer\":\"The spool is loaded into the top of the machine through the needle so it appears on the top of the fabric.
