In addition to the sewing function, sewing thread also plays a decorative role. The amount and cost of sewing thread may not account for a large proportion in the whole garment, but the sewing efficiency, sewing quality and appearance quality are of great importance. What kind of fabric and what kind of thread are used in what situation is the most difficult thing to master.
Cotton, silk
The main components of natural fiber are cotton and silk. The sewing thread of cotton fiber has good strength and heat resistance. It is suitable for high-speed sewing and durable pressing, but its elasticity and wear resistance are slightly worse. In addition to ordinary soft thread and cotton thread after sizing waxing treatment of the wax light and mercerized mercerized line. The wax rays are improved in strength and wear resistance, thus reducing friction during sewing. Suitable for stiff fabric and leather fabric sewing. And mercerized line texture is soft and contain burnish, strength also rises somewhat, feel is smooth much, use at high-grade cotton products. Due to the domestic related equipment for cotton sewing thread post-processing has not reached the ideal toughness, so the cotton thread is still easy to break in the impression. So the range of cotton thread is not very wide. Silk thread is better than cotton thread in glossiness, elasticity, strength, wear resistance and other aspects, but it is obviously at a disadvantage in price. It is mainly suitable for sewing silk and high-grade clothing, but it is lower than polyester long silk thread in heat resistance and strength. Therefore, polyester thread is commonly used in synthetic fibers.
Polyester, polyester
Polyester thread is widely used in cotton fabric, chemical fiber and blended fabric because of its high strength, low shrinkage, good wear resistance and heat resistance. Dacron has filament yarn, staple yarn and dacron low elastic yarn. Among them, dacron staple fiber is mainly used for sewing all kinds of cotton, polyester cotton chemical fiber, wool and blending, which is the most widely used sewing thread at present. And knitted clothing, such as sportswear, underwear, tights sewing use more elastic polyester low elastic silk thread and nylon strong thread. In addition, polyester and silk of mixed fibers are more flexible, gloss and toughness than pure polyester, so they are widely used. Naturally, polyester and nylon silk are indispensable for ultra-thin fabrics.
Nylon, blended
Nylon thread wear resistance, high strength, bright luster, good elasticity, because of its heat resistance is slightly poor so not suitable for high-speed sewing and high temperature ironing fabric. The commonly used nylon long silk thread is suitable for the sewing of chemical fiber clothing and the nailing and locking buttons of all kinds of clothing. The suitable scope of nylon and nylon monsilk is for some elastic fabrics, namely fabrics with relatively large tension, which are mostly used for tailoring, pants mouth, cuffs and buttons in clothing manual operation. In addition, it can be used for decorative rope, such as belt buckle in women's clothing, cuff stop and hemline of Chinese clothing. Blended yarn is mainly polyester-cotton blended and core-wrapped yarn. Polyester/cotton yarn is made of polyester/cotton blended with a ratio of about 65:35. This kind of linear wear resistance and heat resistance are better and the thread is soft, also suitable for all kinds of cotton fabric, chemical fiber and knitting sewing and cugging. Core-wrapped thread is made of cotton outside and polyester inside. Due to its high strength, soft and elastic texture, and small shrinkage rate, core-wrapped thread has the dual characteristics of cotton and polyester and is suitable for high-speed sewing of medium and thick fabrics. These kinds of sewing threads still have a broad application potential.
Gold wire, silver wire
The characteristic of silk decorative line is gorgeous color, more elegant and soft color; Rayon adornment line is made by viscose, although glossiness and feel all achieve pretty good result, but stronger on real silk is slightly inferior - raise. Additional gold, silver decorative effect more and more attention. Gold and silver line is also called technology decorative thread, it is outside the polyester fiber coated with color coating. Patterns, bright lines and local decoration for Chinese clothing and decoration.
