ההדיוט תופר כדרכו. הדיוט מקרי כל שאינו יודע לכוין שפה לבגד שתהא שוה ומכוונת בו, אלא מעקם לכאן ולכאן ועושהו רחב במקום זה וקצר במקום אחר:
מכליב. עושה תפירות כעין שיני הכלב, שאינן שוין זו כנגד זו אלא אחת למעלה ואחת למטה:
מסרגין את המטות. אורגין אותן בחבלין שתי וערב:
ממתחין. אם היה ארוג זה ימים רבים ורפו החבלים, ממתחין, אבל לא מסרגין. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:

Mishnayos Moed Katan Perek 1 Mishnah 9
מועד קטן פרק א׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
מעמידין – they build and restore and repair the oven that they need for the Festival, and because they would carry their ovens from place to place, for that reason, the Mishnah teaches, “set up.”
[אין] מכבשין – they roughen and beat with a hammer on the millstone (Moed Katan 10a) when they are too smooth and they don’t mill/grind properly. And the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
מעמידין. בונין ומושיבין ומתקנים תנור שצריך לו במועד. ולפי שתנורים שלהם מטלטלין היו ממקום למקום להכי תני מעמידין:
אין מכבשין. מנקרין ומכין בפטיש על הרחים כשהן חלקות יותר מדאי ואין טוחנות יפה. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
