...Md Vaseem Chavhan Purpose This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the reduction in strength of sewing threads after stitching (after-stitch strength reduction) in different fabric assemblies, including nonwoven fabrics. This research expands upon previous studies, which primarily...

...Reyhaneh Kamali; Yasaman Mesbah; Fatemeh Mousazadegan Purpose The aim of the present study is to consider the influence of the tensile behavior of fabric and sewing thread on the seam appearance. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the formation of seam puckering on two elastic...

... agents and sewing threads on the seam and water repellency performance properties of woven fabrics. Design/methodology/approach 100 percent polyester woven fabrics were treated with three different water repellent finishing agents (silicone, fluorocarbons with 6 and 8 carbons) and then sewn...

...G. Sundaresan; K.R. Salhotra; P.K. Hari The mechanism of strength reduction of sewing threads has been discussed in Part I of this paper. The effect of fabric tightness and certain thread properties like its size, coefficient of yarn‐metal friction, twist direction, number of piles, type of fibre...
