Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the end of sewing in a sewing method. [Background technology]
[0002] Generally, when starting double-strand stitching, it is common to finish the stitching with a knot. In connection with this, techniques for executing backstop stitches using computerized sewing machines have been developed.
[0003] For example, the densified stitching method described in Patent Document 1 attempts to perform densified stitching using an appropriate densified stitch pattern that matches the shape of the pattern edge immediately before the densified stitching is performed. A plurality of densified stitch pattern signals are stored in a fixed memory section of a microcomputer, and at the time when the densified stitching is to be performed, the microcomputer selects an appropriate densified stitch pattern for the pattern edge in question based on the pattern number and stitch coordinates of the pattern at the time when the densified stitching is to be performed, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 59-194782 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, the conventional sewing method described in Patent Document 1 is a technique used when there is sufficient thread length when using a sewing machine, and therefore cannot be applied when there is not sufficient thread length.
[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sewing method that allows for knotting even when there is not enough thread length. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the sewing method of the present invention comprises the steps of starting sewing using two strands of thread, cutting one of the two threads near the end of sewing, inserting the needle through which the thread passes to the back side near the end of sewing, inserting the needle through which the thread passes to the front side near the end of sewing, removing the thread from the needle, and tying both threads. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] In this way, the sewing method of the present invention comprises the steps of starting sewing with two strands of thread, cutting one of the two threads near the end of sewing, inserting the needle through which the thread passes to the back side near the end of sewing, inserting the needle through which the thread passes to the front side near the end of sewing, removing the thread from the needle, and tying both threads. With this sewing method process, even if the length of the thread is too short at the end of sewing to tie a knot, [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0009] [Figure 1] 10 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of a sewing method. [Figure 2] Photographs (a) and (b) show steps 1 and 2 of the sewing method. [Figure 3] Photographs (c) and (d) show steps 3 and 4 of the sewing method. [Figure 4] Photographs (e) and (f) show steps 5 and 6 of the sewing method. [Figure 5] Photographs (g) and (h) show steps 7 and 8 of the sewing method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following examples are merely examples and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention. [Example]
[0011] (procedure) The procedure of the sewing method of the present invention will be explained using the flowchart in Fig. 1 and photographs (a) to (h) shown in Fig. 2 to Fig. 5. The sewing method of the present invention is carried out by carrying out steps S1 to S8 in Fig. 1 in this order. Note that in the following explanation and photographs (a) to (h), the process is described as being carried out by hand, but is not limited to this and can also be carried out by machine.
[0012] 1) Start sewing with two strands (Step S1): That is, as shown in Figure 1(a), sewing begins by passing thread 2 through the eye 31 of needle 3. The length of thread 2 needs to be at least twice the length from the sewing start position to the sewing end position. This makes it possible to sew with two strands of thread from the sewing start position to the sewing end position. The sewing start position can be secured, for example, by tying together the two non-looped ends of a double-strand thread 2 to make a knot. Therefore, thread 2 is passed through the eye 31 of needle 3 in a loop (circular shape).
[0013] 2) The thread is too short to make a knot (Step S2): That is, as shown in Figure 1(b), the length of the part of the thread 2 that is exposed on the front side is shorter than the length of the needle 3, so it is not possible to make a knot. The sewing method of the present invention can be applied to this case as will be explained below.
[0014] 3) Cut one of the threads (Step S3): That is, as shown in Figure 2(c), the thread 2 that has been looped and passed through the eye 31 of the needle 3 is cut. In consideration of ease of tying in the subsequent process, it is preferable to cut the thread 2 at a position where the length of the thread 2B that is not passed through the needle 3 exceeds at least 2 cm.
[0015] 4) Bring the needle to the back side just beside the end of the stitching (Step S4): That is, as shown in FIG. 2(d), the needle 3 through which the thread 2A passes is inserted from the front side to the back side in the vicinity of the sewing end position on the extension line of the sewing direction.
[0016] 5) From the side, bring the needle out again to the front side (Step S5): That is, as shown in FIG. 3(e), the needle 3 through which the thread 2A passes near the sewing end position is again inserted from the back side to the front side on the extension line of the sewing direction.
[0017] 6) Remove the thread from the needle (Step S6): That is, as shown in FIG. 3(f), the thread 2A is removed from the eye 31 of the needle 3 through which the thread 2A passes.
[0018] 7) Tie both ends of the thread (Step S7): That is, as shown in Fig. 4(g), for example, both ends of two threads 2A and 2B are tied by machine or by hand. It is preferable that threads 2A and 2B are tied twice to prevent them from coming undone.
[0019] 8) Cut off excess thread (Step S8): Finally, as shown in FIG. 4(h), after tying the threads 2A and 2B, the excess threads 2A and 2B sticking out from the knotted part are cut off.
[0020] (Actions and Effects) Next, the functions and effects of the sewing method of this embodiment will be described.
[0021] (1) As described above, the sewing method of this embodiment includes the steps of starting sewing using two strands of thread 2, cutting one of the two threads 2 near the end of sewing, inserting the needle 3 through which thread 2A passes to the back side near the end of sewing, inserting the needle 3 through which thread 2A passes to the front side near the end of sewing, removing thread 2A from the needle 3, and tying both threads 2A and 2B. By including these steps, the sewing method of this embodiment can achieve a knot even when there is not enough thread 2 left at the end of sewing using two strands.
[0022] (2) In addition, the step of cutting the thread 2 is preferably a step of cutting the thread 2 at a position where the length of the other thread 2B that is not threaded through the needle 3 exceeds at least 2 cm. This makes it easier to tie the threads 2A and 2B together.
[0023] (3) Furthermore, the position where the needle 3 is inserted into the back side and the position where the needle 3 is inserted into the front side are located on an extension line from the sewing start position to the sewing end position, which results in a beautiful finished product and a seamless end to the sewing.
[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention.
[0025] In the present invention, the name "sewing method" including each step is used, but it is not limited to this and other names, such as "back knot", are also possible. [Industrial Applicability]
[0026] The "sewing method" described in this invention can be used for personal purposes, but it has the potential for commercialization. Therefore, it does not fall under the category of "inventions that cannot be commercially applied," and is an invention that satisfies the requirement of industrial applicability.
