			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The natural, durable and attractive bamboo is not only the mats, baskets and other artisans, but also for the packaging of high quality decorative panels, curtains and blinds. Window blinds bamboo, in fact, not only a classic in the interior of the rooms, but keep cool. Bamboo handicrafts, on the basis of their specific Webtechniken. These sites can be considered as weaving techniques of the aircraft, weaving and weaving mixed dimensions. First, with a bamboo Crafter need to know, and the plane for the technique of weaving bamboo crafts.<span id="more-93"></span></p>
<p>Plane weaving bamboo or plane generates two products as weaving mats or carpets. It differs from the method, with the three-dimensional products such as baskets, lamps, people, etc. Before weaving, the stalks of bamboo are as follows for you to weaving.</p>
<p>The treatment of bamboo for weaving<br />
Green skin of the bamboo rod is scraping the surface of green<br />
with a blade. Force is equal to the surface of the foot, to make uniform color bamboo.</p>
<p>The top of the rod is flattened to stripping. A knife used for the same board.</p>
<p>The foot is divided into slices of equal width. The number of bands depending on the diameter of the stem. Take care to cut the edge down along the length of the stem. The discs are completely separate for the different pieces.</p>
<p>Disks are striped in thin layers. The knife comes with the blade against the top horizontal 1 / 3 of the Streif Chen. Nipping first cut by the blade in the group. Then the blade is 0.5 to 1 mm of the first layer. After repetition of the process necessary for a number of times, the layers are deducted. The thickness of the layers depends on the need for the project of woven products. Layers are separated into thin slices, using the hands. The bands are or decrease the brightness of the color by another. They accordingly.</p>
<p>The bamboo strips are then colored and bleached by using different materials such as dyes, sulfur, hydrogen peroxide or other chemicals. Soaking, cooking, washing, drying and air are available to support.</p>
<p>Plane weaving bamboo<br />
Before us on the process of weaving bamboo plane, there are two basic terminology, which should include the student&#8217;s bamboo Weber. These two concepts &#8211; warp and weft. Warp is the amount of parallel strips of bamboo, which are the foundation on which the aircraft is weaving. You are in the direction of the length of the work plan or work. Hot bamboo strip, inserted widthwise under and above the fault, for a design.</p>
<p>The basic technique for weaving bamboo aircraft that weaving points http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifs samples. It is the combination of two different colors of light a bamboo and other dark along the chain and frame of the strip of bamboo.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Setting the Quilt: Press the blocks and place them on the bed for the final effect before it. If they are not on the entire surface of the bed, you have something to do: (1) If the ceiling is not wide enough, strips of white material or color may be used. Maybe you have enough material left to play and another set of blocks. (2) If the ceiling is too large, like a sewing deeply as possible in sewing blocks. Make sure the seams in the design of the blocks.<span id="more-92"></span></p>
<p>Check the next frontier to see if it is correct for the width. It shall conform to the design, not to supplement or the burden of part of the decoration of the ceiling. As you an overview of the blocks that are on the bed, remember, they are not yet sewn together and the seams, if it is over, everyone is to receive a 1 / 4 inch. This affects the installation of the border, both in length and width.</p>
<p>If you are satisfied with the blocks and actions of the border, you are the definition of the blocks together. The best way is to all blocks of a line, sewing, with a 1 / 4 inch seam. Following the accession of blocks in a line an hour. This should really be at hand, especially if you are a prick Pieced block. It is easier for the structure and the corners of the hand, rather than on the machine. Sew the rows of blocks can be successfully on the machine, if you Tack corners before the period covered by several points. You can very well along the seams Bast, before the machine.</p>
<p>In the band sewing the border, beginning with the tracks above and below the first. Baste before sewing. Baste side of the border and engraving room.</p>
<p>Blocking the cover: The concept of &#8220;blocking&#8221; means, for the right margins on all sides of the cover, making it a perfect rectangle, when you&#8217;re done. The term refers to divisions of patchwork and block and also at the border, so that the blocking process is a continuous process from beginning to end.</p>
<p>From the beginning, it helps if you&#8217;ve blocked the tracks and modules on the warp and weft of a son in the material. Compliance with this rule is the tendency to distort. It is useful if the material tears easily detached from the width of the tread blocks, and then, separately, in different blocks. For ease in cutting, creates a thread, where is your pair of scissors to cut.</p>
<p>Drag the edges of the block, directly with your fingers and pin the corners of the ironing board, it is too rigid. Cover the block with a damp cloth and press with a hot iron. Do not iron clothes are dry, but more steam instead of. Press the edges to completely just and fair measures. The Center is last.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good idea, press the blocks before the design is, then the seam is. The same goes for the borders and any part of the ceiling. Ie a lot of pressure, but it ensures greater precision in the measure of all units. As a result of the Quilt in common, they must be a deadlock, before it is ready for lining and padded back.</p>
