EFFECT OF SEWING THREAD CRIMP ON BENDING RIGIDITY OF SEAMED FABRICS

Abstract

Bending rigidities of lock-stitch seamed fabrics were found out for two layers fabrics with the seam running perpendicular to the axis of bending. The results were developed for stitch density and sewing thread crimps in the seams. Relation between the bending rigidities and the sewing thread crimps was discussed.
