Abstract
Seams are basic requirements in the manufacturing of garments. In general, seam performance has a great influence on the garment quality. Seam and stitch types affect the quality and appearance of garments. Seams of the garment must be durable and smooth. Stitch and seam types and stitch and seam parameters should be selected according to the garment and fabric type. Appearance and performance of the seams are dependent upon the stitch and seam types, stitch and seam parameters, seam defects and damages. Seam performance of a garment also depends on structural and mechanical properties of the fabric and strength, extensibility, security, durability, appearance and efficiency of the seams. In this study, the importance of the seam performance of garments is investigated. In this context, stitch and seam types used in garments are explained. However, the stitch and seam parameters, sewing needle penetration force, needle damage index, seam defects and damages that are effective at seam performance have been explained and their relations with each other are compared.
Highlights
In recent years, more importance is given to quality, comfort and fit of the garment in the clothing industry
Appearance and performance of the seams are dependent upon the stitch and seam types, stitch densities, sewing machine settings and quality of sewing threads
A high sewing needle penetration force means that the fabric has a high resistance and so there is a high risk of damage
Summary
More importance is given to quality, comfort and fit of the garment in the clothing industry. Colour and fabric structure affect the design and aesthetic appearance of a garment. Seam type, sewing thread type and stitch density affect the fitting comfort of the garment. Fitness is directly related to the pattern design, sizing, fabric structure and seams used to contour curves of the body. Seam and stitch types are one of the most important elements in joining the patterns and giving a form to the garment. Seam and stitch types directly affect the Textile Manufacturing Processes quality, comfort and fitness of the garment. Appearance and performance of the seams are dependent upon the stitch and seam types, stitch densities, sewing machine settings and quality of sewing threads. Seam performance of a garment depends on fabric structural and mechanical properties and strength, extensibility, security, durability, appearance and efficiency of the seams. The parameters like seam strength, extensibility, seam slippage, sewing needle penetration force, seam appearance and seam efficiency that are effective at seam performance are examined
