Apparel Designing — Part 1 MCQs with Explanations

In sewing machines, various feed mechanisms are used to move the fabric through the machine while stitching. Each type of feed mechanism has a specific function and application. The listed options include common feed mechanisms, except for one. Reasoning: Option A: Drop feed - This is a common sewing machine feed mechanism where the feed dogs move up and down to push the fabric from below. Option B: Differential bottom feed - This is another type of feed mechanism that allows for different feeding speeds for multiple layers of fabric, preventing puckering or stretching. Option C: Unison feed - This feed mechanism involves synchronized feeding of the top and bottom layers of fabric, ensuring they move together without shifting. Option D: Spool feed - This is incorrect because "spool feed" is not a recognized feed mechanism in sewing machines. The term "spool" refers to the thread holder, not a fabric feeding mechanism. Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Spool feed , as it is not a recognized sewing machine feed mechanism.

Javelle water, also known as sodium hypochlorite solution, is commonly used as a bleaching agent. It is effective in removing stains and whitening fabrics.

Option B: bleaching agent - This is correct because Javelle water is used to bleach and remove stains from fabrics. Option C: finish - This is incorrect because a finish refers to treatments applied to fabrics to improve their appearance, feel, or performance, not to bleaching. Option D: starch - This is incorrect because starch is used to stiffen fabrics, not to bleach them. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: bleaching agent , as Javelle water is primarily used as a bleaching agent in fabric care.
