  • Sewing Techniques and Stitching
DEF

A type of quilting in which linear designs are raised from the background with a cord or yarn filler.

OBS

This kind of quilting is often combined with padded quilting to accentuate both the lines and shapes of the design. There are two ways to achieve the raised look. The first... is to stitch the quilt design, in parallel lines, through two layers of fabric. The resulting tunnels are then threaded with yarn or other rope-like filler. The second method involves only one layer of fabric. The cord is laid under the fabric and stitched in place at the same time.

The thicker layups are loaded one per opening, whereas thinner layups may be loaded two per opening. Heat and pressure are applied by the hydraulic press, and the glue lines are brought to a temperature at which the glue sets.

  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Geophysics
OBS

The Turam method [of electromagnetic exploration differs from the Sundberg method] in that the ratio of field intensities at two points is observed rather than the intensity at a single point. As with the Sundberg method, two frequencies within the 100-to 800-Hz range are employed. A cable several kilometers long is laid out as a source parallel to the expected strike and is grounded at both ends. Measuring coils are read in pairs along lines perpendicular to the cable, the spacing between them generally being about 25 m. In-phase and out-of-phase ratios are observed as well as amplitude ratios and phase-angle differences.
