Calendering Calendering is a finishing process used on cloth where fabric is folded in half and passed under rollers at high temperatures and pressures. Calendering is used on fabrics such as moiré to produce its watered effect and also on cambric and some types of sateens.
Process:
In preparation for calendering, the fabric is folded lengthwise with the front side, or face, inside, and stitched together along the edges. The fabric can be folded together at full width, however this is not done as often as it is more difficult. The fabric is then run through rollers that polish the surface and make the fabric smoother and more lustrous. High temperatures and pressure are used as well. Fabrics that go through the calendering process feel thin, glossy and papery.

The calendering finish is easily destroyed, and does not last well. Washing in water destroys it, as does wear with time.

    The occupation of fulling was part of the cloth making process that was important to the refinement of finished cloth. The job consisted of compacting woollen fibers to make the cloth whiter, tighter and more durable. Wool has tiny scales all along the fibers, and when the woven wool is 'worked' by being scoured and beaten, the fibers ratchet together and the cloth becomes more compact and solid. If continued for a long time, the end result is felt for heavy clothing or hats. Woven cloth off the loom, say four to five inches wide, is washed and while still wet, is passed through an 'eye' at the top of the fulling machine. It is then sewn into a loop that may be 30' long. Rollers pull the cloth through the eye and it is 'thumped' by heavy wooden hammers tripped by a rotating drum with pegs on it. The cloth is kept moist and soapy, and is repeatedly passed around this circuit, becoming more compact and narrower in width.…

    My Mother Pieced Quilts

    Teresa Acosta brings the most obvious element throughout the poem. It is that of symbolism, life of the family. She achieved this through going from talking about the quilts as covers to achieving a rhetorical shift from these "weapons" to her interpretation of them, giving life to the inanimate quilt. The author also uses an abundant amount of metaphors. "Quilts are October ripened canvases" signifies that the quilts are being compared to paintings. The poet is saying that the quilt is a painting that the quilter has constructed by piecing together parts of his/her life experiences into this one design, illustrating a variety of, length-of-life experiences on the one quilt, like a complex canvas might do with a painting. Second, the author compares the artistic process to a natural one- "ripening". Making a quilt is a slow, methodical process. In this regard, the quilter is being compared to nature- specifically to the force of nature that provides sustenance (ripening is what makes food edible). The quilter is providing protection by creating a blanket that will keep loved ones warm. The quilter is like "mother nature" because it is in association with the harvest, a time of plenty works to connect the concept bounty with the quilt. Just as food is harvested in the fall and often stored for a long winter, the quilt is provided by the quilter (in this metaphor) in fall, and will keep whoever it's made for warm in the winter.…

    The United States prison system enacts a policy that allows them to incarcerate more prisoners than any other country. That policy is called mass-incarceration. The United States prison systems should reallocate their money to focus more on correction than on life-long punishment so that taxpayers save money and potentially transform life time prisoners into productive citizens. The economics behind prisons have changed over the past four decades.…
