Study of Seam Performance of Jute Bag in Plain and Twill Fabric

Abstract

Stitches and seams are two important elements of jute bag construction. Stitches are used to join the materials and hold the product together, and seams give the shape/contour and detail of the product. These two elements together with the material properties contribute to the quality of the product. Seam quality, in our research, is affected by various fabric mechanical properties under a combination of their sewing parameters. Previously a lot of research has been done on identifying the parameters that influencing seam quality by looking into correlation between fabric properties and sewing parameters. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the performance of seam quality in terms of seam appearance and strength constructed with different sewing parameters on jute fabric. In this work, it has concluded that the usage of thicker threads has not always given better strength and the seam appearance as also poor. It was found that a combination of finer thread with moderate strength and a medium level of stitch density according to fabric weight category provided an effective result for both seam appearance and strength. The principal was that the prediction equations developed conclusion possible to be used and gave a strong validation between experimental and predicted results when the new fabric properties were within one standard deviation.
