Adhere to

In the textile industry and skinning, adherence refers to joining two fabrics or pieces of fur of different lengths without the longer edge being laid in noticeable folds.

Ruffling by holding with the sewing machine (1902)

In order to adapt a garment to the shape of the body or to give it the necessary comfort, two edges of different lengths must often be sewn together. Depending on the pattern, either the shorter edge is stretched or the longer one is maintained by pushing the fabric together to the length of the shorter edge when sewing. With an auxiliary thread that is drawn in next to the seam line, the longer part can be pulled together to the desired width in advance. In particular, the back shoulder seams and the arm balls are adhered to in order to form beautiful curves.

In skinning there is a constant occurrence. Unequal extensive skin edges together, the omission due to rounding unequal edges, and more. When sewing with the fur sewing machine, it is possible to maintain the edge facing the plate or the opposite edge by pushing or braking the non-driven transport plate. Correct ironing or unclamping the moistened leather removes the resulting warping in the leather.
