Multiple Choice

What is the difference between Normal Bound Selvage and Fringe Selvage?

• Normal Bound Selvage is loose and unfinished

• Fringe Selvage is tightly finished

• Normal Bound Selvage prevents fraying

• Fringe Selvage is a raw edge

Multiple Choice

What are some tips for spotting the selvage edges of fabric?

• The edges will be clean and have a consistent look.

• Edges may be a different color or texture than the rest of the fabric.

• There may be writing or markings printed along the edges.

• May have a clean, consistent fringe along the side that does not ravel.

What is a key benefit of digital textile printing over traditional printing methods?

• It uses more water.

• It is slower.

• It allows for more detailed designs.

• It is limited in color options.

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between dyeing and printing in textile finishing?

• Dyeing changes the color of the entire fabric, while printing adds patterns or designs to the fabric surface.

• Printing is a cheaper process than dyeing.

• Dyeing can only be done with natural fibers, while printing can be done with both natural and synthetic fibers.

• Printing changes the texture of the fabric, while dyeing does not.
