| pile Flor Explanation: Nap – Fibers on the surface of a fuzzy or hairy fabric that are combed, pushed or woven in a certain direction. If you are using corduroy, fake fur, velvet or any other fabric with a “furry” feel, all the pieces needed for your project need to be cut in the same direction. From top to bottom the fabric looks light in color and from bottom to top, it looks dark in color. If all the pieces are cut one way except one which is cut upside down, it could look really weird once it’s made up. Nicky, oder "Wirkplüsch", ist ein gewirkter, elastischer Stoff mit samtigem Flor auf der Oberseite. Nicky-Stoffe sind meist aus Baumwolle, manchmal mit kleinen Beimischungen aus Chemiefasern. Nicky-Stoffe mit elastischen Nähten und Jerseynadel verarbeiten und beim Zuschnitt die Richtung des Flors beachten! |

peer agreement (net): +1| pile "Flor" is a closer definition Explanation: "Flor" is closer to "Pile", and "Strich" is closer to "Nap". In English, Pile and Nap can be interchangeable, BUT, in reality, "Pile" is a bit "taller" or thicker than "nap" (I have been sewing and designing costumes for 20 years). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2005-04-05 21:07:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Velvet has \"pile\" and corderoy has \"nap\" |
