...Md Vaseem Chavhan; M. Ramesh Naidu; Hayavadana Jamakhandi Purpose This paper aims to propose the artificial neural network (ANN) and regression models for the estimation of the thread consumption at multilayered seam assembly stitched with lock stitch 301. Design/methodology/approach...

... as thread consumption by considering seam compression. Design/methodology/approach The effect of sewing parameters on the fabric compression at the seam (Cf) for fabrics of varying bulk density was studied by the Taguchi method and also the multilinear regression equation is obtained to predict seam...

... significantly reduces needle thread consumption per stitch and increases the peak dynamic needle thread tension. This change in lockstitch formation has a profound effect on the geometry of the stitch and the theoretical performance of the stitch under longitudinal load. The ability to reduce static thread...
