Spun thread
In this type of sewing thread, the single yarns consist of individual, short fibres that are twisted together. The raw materials most commonly used for this type of…
Sewing thread construction explained: types, properties and applications
While the construction of the yarns individually determines the type of sewing thread, twist, ply, and cord define general construction parameters for all sewing threads.…
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…
Seam stability
Seam stability describes a seam’s ability to resist slippage and tensile stress without opening or tearing.
Seam elongation
Seam elongation refers to the elasticity and stretching behaviour of a seam when subjected to tensile stress along the seam. It is primarily determined by the thread…
