Impact of Various Stitch Classes and Seam Types on Seam Strength

The longevity of apparel can be increased by choosing suitable types of fabric, thread and seam class. Basic choices include type, thread, cloth, and seam. Components of clothing stability seam strength, strength efficiency, puckering, slippage, boldness, and appearance are factors that affect seam quality. Any completed garment product’s strength and seam look are both utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing features. Both are thought to be crucial elements that affect how long a garment will last. The primary focus of this study report is the effect of stitch type and seam type on the stipulated SPI values for seam strength in cotton denim fabric. To assess the fabric’s seam strength a tensile strength tester was used. In this study, four distinct seam types lapped seam, bound seam, flat seam, and superimposed seam with a stitch density of 11 stitches per inch (SPI) on denim fabric are assessed for seam strength utilizing stitch types 301, 401, and 602. The outcome demonstrated that these elements have an impact on the garments’ overall seam performance. For the same SPI, stitch class 602 has a stronger seam than other stitch classes. A prominent textile company called Mamiya-OP (Bangladesh) Ltd. provided a laboratory for testing the numerous seam section samples that were made for this study.
