| Question | Answer |
| Direct Dyes | 1. Water Soluble 2. Used on cellulosic fibers 3. Medium to low price range 4. Cotton, linen, rayon, wool, silk, nylon and aramid |
| Vat Dyes | 1. Developed in Europe 1910 2. Cost effective 3. Dependable and color fast 4. Like dyeing Easter egg - temperature and time effect final look 5. Cotton, linen, rayon, some manufactured fibers 6. NOT USED FOR WOOL OR SILK |
| Solution Dyes | Color is added to manufactured fibers before extrusion into filaments, resulting in a tendency to superior colorfastness. |
| Flat Bed Screen Prints | Large designs on fabrics which are repeated every 7 yards. Automatically moved across print table, screens are fixed and colors applied. |
| Rotary Screen Prints | Developed in the 60's. Fast and accurate printing process in which the cloth moves under a series of large, patterned cylinders. |
| Discharge Prints | Pattern is obtained by bleaching portions of already dyed cloth. |
| Dying vs. Printing | Dying is done at a fiber level while printing is applied to a finished fabric. |
| Crocking | Rubbing off of color due to improper or insufficient dye penetration or fixation. |
| Durability | Capacity of a textile to last or endure for a reasonable length of time w/out deterioration or destruction and with minimal loss of appearance. |
| Maintenance | Ongoing treatment necessary to keep a textile clean. |
| Dyeing | Done in the polymer solution, fiber, yarn, fabric, or product stage. |
| Printing | Done at fabric stage or applied to warp threads during weaving. |
| Abrasion Resistance | Ability of fabric to withstand damage from rubbing and wear. Known as double rubs. |
| Dimensional Stability | Ability of a textile to maintain its original shape and size. Absorbency, elasticity, elongation, recovery, and construction affect dimensional stability. |
| Life Cycle Costs | The length of time a textile is used before it wears out; often associated with costing and maintenance. |
| Casement | General term for curtain and drapery fabrics that have medium weight and some degree of transparency. Operation is horizontal. |
| Curtain | General term for textile window covering fabric hung without linings. Operation is horizontal. |
| Drapery | Lined textile fabric panels hung to drape gracefully at windows or over walls and are operated horizontally. |
| Sagging | Elongation, common to many fabrics and dependent on fiber content and cloth structure. |
| Hiking | Alternate sagging and shrinking of casement panels due to humidity changes. |
| Slippage | Sliding of filling threads over ends, or the shifting of warp threads which results in open spaces in the fabric. |
| Knife-Edge | Crisp corner, slight round. No welt or seem at edge. |
| Welting/Welt Edge | Cord wrapped in fabric along edge. Welt welt = cord fabric matches upholstery. |
| Tufting | Buttons, pins added for a pillowing effect. Done from behind, looped and pulled tight. |
| Boxing | Strip of fabric is combined with a zipper. |

| Pile Height | Hight of yarn above primary backing, calculated in millimeters. |
| Rug vs. Carpet | Rugs float and carpets are wall to wall. |
| Carpet Components | 1. Pile fiber 2. Primary backing 3. Secondary backing 4. Adhesive 5. Topical Treatments |
| Axminster | Commercial carpet. Economical way to produce custom carpets like casino floors. 12'-0" wide |
| Loop Pile | Surface of continuous loops |
| Cute Pile | Each loop is cut as part of the production process, and the surface reveals the cut ends of the yarn. |

| Carpet Pad | -Residential -Wear needs of carpet -Worry about moisture -Latex barrier |
| Carpet Installation | 1. Tackless strip 2. Glue Down 3. Free lay |
| Tackless Strip | Secured but easily removed. Carpet is stretched and secured on a strip with 3 rows of pins, located on the perimeter of the room. |
| Glue Down | Use an adhesive to secure the carpet system. |
| Free-Lay | Rugs or other large carpets that are not wall to wall applications |
| Physical Tests (Performance Test Method) | Compliance with specified requirements can best be established with tests that simulate the intended use condition. |
| Calculation Method (Performance Test Method) | Compliance with requirements can be established by means of graphic and/or numerical calculations, using accepted engineering practice and applicable codes |
| Observation (Performance Test Method) | Compliance with performance requirements can only be established by observing the textiles under specific conditions. Unanimous decision from at least 3 independent observers. |
| AATCC | American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists Testing dyed and chemically treaded fibers and fabrics. |
