- Abstract
This paper aims to explore the influence of fabric mechanical properties with different sewing thread sizes on seam performance. Two tests were conducted in this study. Firstly the extensibility, bending, shear properties of the fabrics were measured using KES-F system, then different size-ranged sewing threads were sewn the fabrics. A seam performance was analyzed in terms of seam efficiency, seam puckering and observed that the fabric extensibility, bending rigidity and shear rigidity affected the selection of sewing thread size with respect to the seam efficiency. It was also found that when fabric samples sewn in weft direction, the seam performance in term of seam efficiency varied very much as compared with fabric samples sewn in warp direction.
