Sewing process (according to customer requirements)

1. Positioning

Positioning is to fix two or more layers of materials together. Before positioning, you must recognize the front and back of the material and the direction of the pattern. It is generally required that the spigot for positioning is 2~5mm, not too wide, and the surface material should be flat, wrinkle-free and not twisted. Lines, debris, dirty spots, etc. (especially light-colored) are not allowed in the interlayer.

2. Back needle

Inverted stitches are to increase the firmness. In addition to stitching back and forth when the stitching is started and narrowed, stitches need to be stitched back in places where weight is required, such as the two ends of a stitched zipper. Back stitches must fall in the same straight line

3. Trademark

Trademarks are product signs, so you should not be careless. Before the car, you must check whether the graphics of the trademark are clear and whether there is any skewing (including printed labels, woven labels, leather labels, washing labels). Generally, it starts and closes at the bottom of the trademark Needle, 3~4 stitches should be heavier when narrowing the needle, and it must be on a straight line. Sewing in strict accordance with the positioning, the material has positioning holes or painted positioning points, and the trademark must cover the points. Printed labels and woven labels cannot be skewed when stitching.

4. Seam

Sewing is to join two layers of fabric together, which is the main process.After strict procedures and procedures, a glove is finished

Sewing knowledge and quality points

First-line: It is one of the necessary materials in production. According to the more commonly used materials, it can be roughly divided into four categories:

1. 402 polyester thread (polyester cotton thread) open thread is generally used for denser and thinner materials, or for positioning.

Generally, the stitch length of the open thread is: 3cm9.5 stitches; the dark thread is: 3cm9 stitches; the positioning is: 3cm9 stitches + -1 stitches.

2. 202 polyester thread (polyester cotton thread) is more commonly used, generally used for car lining or positioning.

Generally, the stitch length of the open thread is: 3cm9 stitches; the dark thread is: 3cm8.5 stitches; the positioning is: 3cm8 stitches +-1 stitches.

3. 500D nylon (high-strength wire) is often used with PU. Generally, the stitch length of PU and canvas is: 3cm8 stitches; the fabric is 3cm8.5 stitches.

When we are preparing for production, we must first adjust the stitch length and stitches. General requirements: clear stitches, straight, moderate tightness, no throwing or skipped stitches. Concealed wires are allowed to have wiring, but they must be re-wired with 7-10 stitches, and stitch back and forth well. Needle pitch: open/dark threads are generally 7 to 9 stitches, and positioning is generally more than 8 stitches. Choose thread according to different product/data requirements. Do not use threads of different colors and specifications without authorization.

It is necessary to talk about our Lycra fabric, which is different from pure cotton.

a. Different ratios

Pure cotton fabric: the ratio is a fabric made of 100% cotton, Lycra cotton fabric: a ratio of 10% or a5% Lycra (a kind of elastic fiber, the scientific name is spandex) + 90% or 95% cotton;

b. Different flexibility

Pure cotton fabric: made of pure natural material, the resilience of pure cotton is not as good as Lycra cotton, but it is very soft; Lycra cotton fabric: with outstanding stretchability, for knitwear, its multi-directional extension is determined by the fabric itself Yes, Lycra brings only the elasticity of stretching and recovery. Clothing made of Lycra cotton has no sense of urgency and can stretch freely.
