Seam appearance
Seam appearance refers to the visual quality of a seam and is assessed subjectively.
Seam abrasion resistance
Seam abrasion resistance describes how well the sewing thread in a seam withstands rubbing and friction during use.
Seam haptics
Seam haptics refers to the tactile perception or feel of a seam. There are objective measurement methods for assessing textile surfaces, but not for seams. Seams are…
