Abstract:

Abstract： As an important garment production process, the sewing quality control is relatively difficult to be managed because it is affected by many factors. In order to achieve optimal sewing quality, it is necessary to fully understand the fabric performance, a reasonable choice of sewing equipment, and the optimal setting of the sewing parameters. In current garment processing, the parameters of sewing process are mainly determined by the experiences, and the results are susceptible to environment and affected by evaluators’ subjective attitude. As a result, it is lack of authority and shows uncertainty. The current study tested different knitted fabrics by classifying them as several categories based on the results of the fabric physical tests. The testing results of the seam tensile recovery rate, the seam smoothness, and the seam strength were analyzed by the DPS statistical software and orthogonal design assistant. Fabric Y1 was taken for an example to study a method of determination of the optimal sewing fabric parameters. It can therefore provide the apparel enterprises an advantageous method and basis for selecting sewing production process parameters in a rational and scientific way.
