| Abstract | ||
| Denim fabrics provide a fundamental material upon which the clothing industry relies. It has recently been integrated with other fabrics, such as organza fabric, to create innovative clothing designs. Owing to the different properties of denim fabric and organza fabric, it is necessary to study the standards for sewing denim fabrics with organza fabrics to determine the best parameters that achieve high sewing efficiency. Therefore, the study used 50% cotton and 50% polyester denim fabrics of different weights (light, medium, and heavy weights) as the first fabric and 100% polyester organza fabric as the second fabric. Three directions of fabric cutting (warp, weft, and bias) were used. Three types of seams were used: the SSa seam (superimposed seam), the SSe seam (superimposed seam), and the LSq seam (lapped seam). In addition, three types of stitches were used with those seams as follows: the SSa seam with the 516 stitch, the SSe seam with the 301 stitch, and the LSq seam with the 301 + 514 stitches. In this study we measured the sewing properties of the samples, including strength, elongation, stiffness, and seam appearance. The results showed that all sewing properties were affected by denim fabric weight, fabric cutting direction, and both seam and stitch types. Therefore, the results demonstrated that when sewing denim fabric of varying weights with organza fabric at the warp, weft, and bias directions, it is advisable to employ the SSa seam with the 516 stitch, as it attained the highest quality coefficient values across all sewing properties. | ||
