1. Be sure to look up each of those terms at http://www.answers.com -- and then decide.

2. I have no idea, but you should look up those terms at answers.com, too.

If you are absolutely crystal clear on what each term means (and what each type of stitch is used for), you'll do fine.

To answer your questions:

1) To attach a row of two metallic threads around the wrist of a dress made of voile, the recommended sewing method would be option C) Couching.

Couching is a technique where one thread is laid on the fabric and another thread is used to stitch it down at regular intervals. In this case, you would lay the metallic threads around the wrist of the dress and then stitch them down using a different thread, securing them in place.

D) Smocking is not the correct answer in this case, as it is a different technique used for creating decorative gathers or pleats in fabric.

2) If you want to attach curved lines of beads, the recommended method would be option A) Couch on a string of beads or C) Secure them with a small backstitch at the end.

Couching on a string of beads involves stitching the beads onto the fabric using a separate thread. You would pass the needle through the fabric, then string multiple beads onto the needle, and finally bring the needle back through the fabric to secure the beads in place. This technique allows you to create curved lines of beads.

Alternatively, you can secure the beads with a small backstitch at the end. In this method, you would individually stitch each bead onto the fabric using a small backstitch, sewing through the bead and into the fabric, which helps to secure it in place.

B) Gluing the beads on is not a recommended method for a dress, as it may not provide a secure and durable attachment.

D) Securing them with a twisted running stitch is not the best choice for attaching beads, as it may not provide the desired stability and may cause the beads to become loose over time.

Remember, when choosing a sewing method, always consider the specific fabric, function, and desired outcome to ensure the best results.
