Biesen: definition Explanation: I'm just going to give you the right definition for Biesen, which in English is piping, often seen on upholstery and home textiles: A cord covered with bias fabric, often used for decorative edging on garments or projects. This can be encased in seams for a nice effect. How you're ever going to translate "wulstartig verdickt"... ((C: good luck! sylvie -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2006-05-18 10:13:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to Langenscheidsi f you need a literal translation: Wulst is a roll or padding, Verdíckung is a bulge. But I would paraphrase using the definition above. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2006-05-19 11:40:19 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Hi Clare, Never mind, Biesen can be piping OR tucks, depending on the application. In German they call both Biesen -- there's the confusion. Reference: http://www.needlepointers.com/displaypage.aspx?ArticleID=260... |
