...Daniela Zavec Pavlinic´; Jelka Geršak In transforming fabrics into garment it is necessary to know, besides the manner of processing, the behaviour of the fabric in particular manufacturing processes. It is necessary to define why and how fabrics behave in a particular way when exposed to various...

...In Hwan Sul; Tae Jin Kang Pattern marking is the allocation of garment patterns on the cloth roll minimizing the fabric loss, and thus very important for the cost reduction in garment manufacturing industries. But automatic marking is very difficult because it is a non‐deterministic in polynomial...

...G. Stylios; D.W. Lloyd In garment manufacture, causes of sewability problems have to be identified so that remedial actions can be applied. In the case of seam pucker, establishing the cause of the problem is not easy because many different variables can produce the same fault. Existing methods...

...T.J. Mahar; I. Ajiki; R. Postle In Part 1 of this series of papers, we investigated the importance of fabric overfeed in the sewing operations during tailoring. It was also shown how fabric bending rigidity, formability, shear and hygral expansion are important in clothing manufacture. The present...
