“…Seam quality problems such as skip stitches, thread breakage, fabric damage, faulty seam appearance, needle damage, etc., can be time-consuming and frustrating. They may spoil the appearance of a garment and be the cause of ultimate failure and rejection that reduce productivity and seam quality (Hayes and Mcloughlin, 2013;Gribaa et al, 2006;Mandal and Abraham, 2010).…”

“…The needle hole must be large enough for the needle and the sewing thread and there are slots in the throat plate that allow the feeder to rise and feed the material. The slots should match the width of the rows of teeth on the feed dog without allowing contact (Hayes and Mcloughlin, 2013). In one publication, it was stated that a large throat plate hole allows greater freedom of the yarns to slip over the sewing needle and so tends to reduce damage.…”

“…Each type of sewing thread has distinct properties, which are the prime contributory factor for seam quality. Hence, the selection of an appropriate and fit-for-purpose sewing thread is of significant importance for product performance (Hayes and Mcloughlin, 2013). Behera and Chand (1997) compared polyester, cotton and core-spun polyester threads.…”

Purpose The conversion of fabric into a garment involves many interactions such as the selection of suitable sewing thread, optimization of sewing parameters, ease of conversion of fabric into the garment and actual performance of the sewn fabric during wear of the garment. The adjustment of all sewing parameters is necessary to ensure quality. The purpose of this paper is to define the parameters that affect seam quality comprehensively. Design/methodology/approach This study primarily focuses on the studies dealing with the effect of various parameters on-seam quality in detail. A systematic literature review was conducted. Findings The interactions between parameters may lead to different results than the effect of a single parameter. In addition, changing some parameters may have a positive effect on one element of seam quality while having a negative effect on another. For this reason, it is very important to properly select the parameters according to the specific end use of the garment products and also to consider the interactions. Originality/value The knowledge of various factors that affect seam quality will be helpful for manufacturers to improve production performance and to be able to produce high-quality seam.

“…6). Most often blindstitch machines have changeable work surface/bed [5,10,12] which is formed from a cylinder arm and a swing away workplate (support platform, fl atbed, movable swing plate) to process fl at and also circular garment parts (see Fig. 7.a).…”

“…However, because of manual and time-consuming work process, traditional tailoring techniques are not acceptable in industrial manufacturing. Garment industry has developed diff erent kind of machinery which replaces manual sewing techniques to ensure much higher work productivity [10,12]. In 1920 company "Strobel" developed the fi rst single thread blindstitch machine for invisible edge hemming [5].…”

Garment industry has developed different kind of machinery which replaces traditional manual blindstitchig techniques to ensure much higher work productivity. Many companies produce universal and specialized blindstitch machines for men suit manufacturing. To create invisible stitches of class 100 and 300, blind stitch machine uses a curved needle. The machines perform 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3.stitch pattern. The advanced machines secure the end of the seam creating invisible thread knot or forming several spot/tack stitches. The machines use to have automatic thread cutter, presser foot lifter and needle positioner. The machines for different quality materials are available. For specific applications machines are equipped with different auxiliary devices. Blind hemming of trousers and lined and unlined jackets are performed with stitches 103, 105, 313.

In this paper laminated composites with woven fabric on the front side, polyurethane foam (PU) in the middle and knitted fabric on the back side were analyzed. These materials are widely used in the automotive industry, medicine, protection activities and other groups of technical textiles Based on analyses and problems encountered in practice, the hypothesis was made that the speed of joining the components into a laminated composite influences the needle penetration force and finally the seam quality when sewing. Investigations were performed using three GB needle systems, two PU thicknesses (2 and 4 mm) and three joining speeds (30, 35 and 40 m/min). According to the results obtained, it can be concluded that higher joining speeds determine lower penetration forces. By systematic analysis of the sewing seam the deformation of laminated composites occur at stitch points, which is caused by hardened PU residues after the lamination of components to a composite. Heating the needle during sewing resulted in partial melting of PU and adhesion of needle to the material is penetrating through which means damage to the needle and seam. This negative occurrence is more pronounced at lower bonding speeds, for higher PU thickness and thicker needle. Based on the results obtained it can be claimed that bonding speed, polyurethane thickness (PU) as well as needle type affected the penetration forces of sewing and seam quality.
