  This paper investigates the seam strength and efficiency along with, how fabric structural and sewing parameters as: weave design, weft density and seam type effect the strength and efficiency of seams. Six cotton fabrics having three weave designs and two weft densities were developed and sewn by five different seam sub-types. The lockstitch sewing machine was used. Strength of fabrics and seams were tested on Instron tensile machine. Assessments of all results were conducted with respect to weave design, weft density and seam sub-types separately by using a factorial design variance analysis. The study found that weave design significantly affect the seam strength and its efficiency in both directions. The direction of stitch is most important for seam efficiency. Moreover, the increasing trend was found towards seam strength and its efficiency by increasing the weft density. Each s.. Read More»
