Effect of detergent wash on seam strength of knitted fabric under sewing parameters
(UMT Lahore, 2015) Abdul Rauf; Farhan Zafar; Fahad Rafique
In this research project, comprehensive study has been done to check the seam strength of the knitwear fabric. For this purpose we prepared 27 samples of fleece fabric which are in equal sizes. These samples were sewn under different sewing parameters. These parameters are “speed of machine and stitch density”. We check seam strength of first 9 sample before wash and other 9 samples after 5five washes and finally 9 samples after 10 washes. After testing and analyzing we come to know that speed of machine and stitch density has significant effect on the seam strength of the fleece fabric but more washes degrade the performance of seam of knitwear fabric.
