The number and appearance of chromosomes in a cell is called a karyotype. A karyotype can only be seen and studied with a microscope. To make karyotypes easier to understand, karyograms are often made. In karyograms, homologous chromosomes are put side by side and then arranged by size.
A zigzag stitch is a great way to seam knit fabrics. Its inherent stretch allows for the fabric to stretch and move without fear of popping a seam. On light to medium weight knits, try using a stitch length of 1.5 and a width of 5. This setting closely mimics the look and function of an overlock stitch.
There are two major varieties of knit fabric: weft-knit and warp-knit fabrics. Warp-knitted fabrics such as tricot and milanese are resistant to runs, and are commonly used in lingerie. Weft-knit fabrics are easier to make and more common. When cut, they will unravel (run) unless repaired.
