Textile Apparel
o Word textile derived from Latin word o Apparel is a :
“texere” mean to weave .  Completely stitched fabric or
o Literally its mean a weaved fabric but its
 Semi stitched fabric or
also include
 Un-stitched fabric
 Weaved Fabric
o Basically it is a Barrier between Human body
 Knitted Fabric
and Environment , which protects it from harsh
 Non-Woven fabric situations and provide good look.

Garment Manufacturing
A sequential process starts by laying of fabric after receiving from fabric store
Its further include followings :
o Marker making * Cutting * Stitching * Finishing

* Inspection * Pressing * Packing

Thread
A filament, a group of filaments twisted together formed by spinning and twisting short textile fibers into a
continuous strand

Thread Consumption
Length of a thread required to sew a garment is the Thread consumption of that garment

Importance of its calculation :

 To predict amount of thread to be used
 To avoid shortage of thread during Production
 To avoid excess order of thread from supplier which will cause loss
 For garment costing

Factors Effecting Thread Consumption :

 Thread consumption in 1 inch of garment depends upon followings :
 Stitch Density
 Stitch type
 Seam type
 Fabric thickness ( No. of plies )
 Design of apparel
 Thread tension
 Thread count & Thread Type
 Interlacing factor

RESEARCH GAP

From literature survey we found that no proper study done on Thread tension adjustment in a proper and right way,
which describe some more factors that can affect thread consumption along-with other factors like; thread count,
thread composition, number of folds in fabric, number of plies in thread and technique of thread manufacturing .
OVERALL AIM OF THE RESEARCH

The aim of our research is to study the (factors that affect thread consumption in general) and the affect of thread
tension on thread consumption in specific.
OBJECTIVES
 Denim fabric selection with specified G.S.M and varying number of folds(2 fold , 3 fold e.t.c)

 Study by adjusting thread tension properly because consumption is affected by tension thus we can maintain the
inventory cost of raw material in production.
 Needle thread and bobbin thread adjustment. Too loose tension results in increase consumption, open seam, loose
seams, loops visible on top or bottom side of the stitched garment. Too tight tension cause seam puckering, seam
break easily when stretched which lead to less consumption and poor quality and broken seam at early stages of
usages.
 The interlocking needle thread and bobbin thread must have balanced tension to form an even stitch (by making
lock of needle and bobbin thread between exactly middle of the fabric plies with proper tension).
 Findings, result and discussion.
