(wire cloth) - The edge or border of wire cloth, finished to prevent unravelling (versus a raw or cut edge). Types of selvage edges include looped, folded, welded and fine mesh border pattern. Selvaged edges are not available on special order or cut-to-size pieces.
The edge of the carpet. Most commercial carpets are shipped with the selvage on. Residential carpet is usually trimmed to the face yarn. Also known as "selvedge."
finished edge to prevent fraying of wire cloth
Finished edges on each side of woven fabric. Sometimes called self-edge.
The defined warp edge of the fabric, specially woven to prevent unraveling.
the edge along the side that doesn't unravel. Sometimes there's writing up the side. Even though the cut edge is nice and neat, it's not a good idea to include that in your cut piece because it doesn't hang or wash like the rest of the fabric.
The edge of woven fabric that is so formed as to prevent raveling. The finish may be different or the same as that of the fabric.
The edge finish on woven chain link fabric joining pairs of pickets. The selvage may be knuckled or twisted (barbed). Standard selvage is K&K when the fabric is under 72", and K&B when the fabric is 72" high or above.
Each side edge of a woven fabric and an actual part of the warp in the goods. Usually easily distinguishable from the body of the material, other names for it are listing, self-edge, raw edge. The British spelling is selvedge.
(Self-edged) The finished edges of wire cloth running the length of the roll, which are produced by the weaving operation and prevent unraveling of the wire cloth. Where the selvage edge is a specific requirement, it should be specified when ordering. Also referred to as "loop edge".
the edge of a fabric that is woven so that it will not ravel or fray
When a length of fabric is woven and printed or dyed at the factory it has two finished lengthwise edges. These edges are usually a little stiffer and firmer than the crosswise cut edge of the fabric and these edges will not ravel. When fabric is cut at the fabric store it is cut from selvage to selvage.
A loom finished edge that prevents cloth unravelling.
The narrow border or edge of the cloth, attached when weaving to prevent unraveling. The trade name is usually woven into the selvage and is a guarantee of the cloth's quality.
The edges of a stamp pane beyond the perforations—including the portions that contain marginal markings as plate numbers, copyright notice, and other symbols/text. The plain selvage is usually removed from stamps when preparing FDCs, except for plate numbers and other collectible markings. Also spelled "selvedge."
The narrow, reinforced edge of a fabric that runs parallel to the warp. Fabric width is measured selvage to selvage.
The finished edges of the woven fabric. Along the lengthwise grain.; The selvages should be cut off and not included in the seam allowance.
the thin edge of a fabric, woven so as to prevent unraveling. It runs parallel to the warp.
The narrow edge of woven fabric that runs parallel to the warp. It is made with stronger yarns in a tighter construction than the body of the fabric to prevent raveling.
Finished edges on a roll of fabric that run the length of the fabric, preventing ravelling. The width of a fabric is measured selvage to selvage.
The woven edge of the fabric, where the weft threads bend round to go in the other direction.
The selvage edges of fabric are the finished sides of the lengthwise grain.
The unprinted edge of wallpaper that has not been pre-trimmed at the factory.
A finished edge that runs the length of the fabric piece.
The edge of a piece of woven fabric, finished by the manufacturer to prevent unraveling; the selvages are cut off before you begin sewing. Selvages provide information as to the manufacturer, the colors in the fabric, and the direction of the design or pattern repeat.
(1) An edge or edging that differs from the main part of fabric, granule surfaced roll roofing or cap- sheet, or other material (2) A specially defined edge of the material (lined for demarcation), which is designed for some special purpose such as overlapping or seaming.
A woven edge finish formed either from the wefts as they turn back to recross the rug, or from additional yarns incorporated to protect the expose wefts.
A narrow, tightly woven band on either edge of fabric to prevent raveling. Term originated in the 14th century. Also known as self-edge, list and listing.
The edge of fabric that does not fray. It usually has small holes and fabric manufacturer's information on it.
The edge of a carpet so finished that it will not ravel or require binding or hemming.
Finished sides of a lengthwise grain that prevents raveling.
The woven-edge portion of a fabric parallel to the warp, finished off so as to prevent the yarns from unraveling.
Lengthwise border running along both edges of fabric, finished so as not to ravel.
The edge or border of wire cloth finished off so as to prevent unraveling. Selvage types include looped, folded, cut and tucked, welded, plastic bonded or bent back picket.
The thin edge of a woven fabric that runs parallel to the warp and prevents raveling.
The finishing of edges along the length of a roll of wire mesh to prevent unraveling.
Selvage is the edge on either side of a woven or flat-knitted fabric, often of different threads or weave, finished to prevent raveling.
The edge of a fabric that is woven so that it will not fray or ravel.
an edge or edging that differs from the main part of (1) a fabric, or (2) granule-surfaced roll roofing material.
Also called "self-edge," it is the reinforced, outside length of fabric, which keeps fabric from unraveling
Finished sides of the lengthwise grain that prevents raveling.
The lengthwise or warp wise edge of a woven fabric; the point at which the weft binds the warp to form a finished edge.
The lengthwise finished edge on each side of the fabric.
The end(s), sides or edges of a textile that are tightly woven to prevent unraveling or fraying.
The selvage of a knitted fabric consists the stitch(es) that end each row ("course") of knitting. Also called selvedge, the term derives from "self-edge".
In a woven fabric, the selvage (or selvedge) is the uncut edge of the fabric which is on the right- and left-hand edges as it comes out of the loom. As such it is 'finished' and will not fray because the weft threads double back on themselves.
