Leather sewing machine

The single needle lockstitch sewing machine operates using a straightforward mechanism that employs one needle and two threads one from the spool and the other from a bobbin. The needle pierces the fabric, and as it retracts, the bobbin thread interlocks with the needle thread to form a lockstitch. This stitching method is not only strong and durable but also produces a neat and professional finish, making it the preferred choice for many types of sewing projects.

In the realm of sewing and garment construction, few machines have made as significant an impact as the Zig Zag Dressmaker Sewing Machine. This versatile appliance has become synonymous with creativity, functionality, and efficiency, opening up new avenues for both amateur and professional seamstresses alike.

5. Satin Stitch Foot This foot is designed for satin stitching, providing a smooth glide over the fabric. It allows for precise stitching along curves and edges, making it perfect for appliqué work and decorative stitching.

3. Wide Throat Space When working with large pieces of leather, having enough throat space to maneuver the fabric is vital. A wider opening allows you to handle bulky items better, making it easier to sew bags, belts, or upholstery.

How can I tell if a product has titanium dioxide in it? How can I avoid the ingredient?

The FDA first approved the use of titanium dioxide in food in 1966, following its 1960 removal (along with the removal of other color additives) from the agency's original Generally Recognized as Safe list. In 1977, titanium dioxide joined the list of color additives that are exempt from certification, which means titanium dioxide doesn't have to be listed on the packaging of every product it's used in, Faber noted.

In a study published in the journal Toxicology, researchers examined the effects of exposing human colon cancer cell line (HTC116) titanium dioxide food additives in vitro. “In the absence of cytotoxicity, E171 was accumulated in the cells after 24 hours of exposure, increasing granularity and reactive oxygen species, inducing alterations in the molecular pattern of nucleic acids and lipids, and causing nuclei enlargement, DNA damage and tubulin depolymerization,” the scientists wrote. Researchers removed the additive from the culture, then examined the results 48 hours later. They found, “The removal of E171 was unable to revert the alterations found after 24 h of exposure in colon cells. In conclusion, exposure to E171 causes alterations that cannot be reverted after 48 h if E171 is removed from colon cells.”
