Influence of Sewing Parameters and Fabric Properties on Seam Strength and Quality in Woven Garments: A Comprehensive Review

Author(s) Mr. LAKSHMANAKANTH Pitchandi, Dr. SENTHILKUMAR Boominathan

Abstract Seam quality is a crucial determinant of garment durability, functionality, and consumer satisfaction in apparel manufacturing. While fabrics and sewing threads provide the foundational materials, the interplay of sewing parameters—including stitch density, needle size, thread type, and seam type—largely governs seam strength, slippage resistance, and appearance. This review synthesizes existing research on seam performance in woven garments, drawing from fabric mechanical behavior, thread characteristics, and experimental design methodologies. Studies highlight that seam failure often occurs at lower loads than fabric rupture, underscoring the need for optimized parameter selection. Advances such as the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-F) (Kawabata, 1980) for fabric property assessment and statistical approaches like Box–Behnken experimental design (Box & Behnken, 1960) for process optimization provide scientific frameworks to enhance seam performance. The review concludes with recommendations for harmonizing fabric and process variables, emphasizing predictive modeling to improve quality control and reduce seam-related defects in the apparel industry.
Keywords Seam strength, seam quality, woven fabrics, sewing parameters, seam slippage, Box-Behnken design, KES-F system.
