INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECTS OF SEWING PARAMETERS ON THREAD CONSUMPTIONS OF 301, 504 AND 516 SEAMS

Abstract

The determination of the sewing thread consumption is an important basis
for the norm of thread in garment industry. There is a basis to calculate product
costs, prepare properly and enough sewing threads for production and
contribute to saving sewing threads. This article presents the results of
determining the effect of several important sewing parameters on the thread
consumption and the optimal models to calculate the consumption only for the
301, 504 and 516 seams, that are built from experimental data using BMA
(Bayesian Model Average) technique. The thread consumptions for the
experimental seams are determined with these stitches on the Pe/Co 65/35
fabric and the sewing machines JUKI DDL 5500N and MO-6816 SS. Thread
consumptions for 301, 504, and 516 stitches are estimated based on multivariate
linear models of stitch length, stitch density and fabric thickness have been
determined with a determination coefficients R2 = 0.931 to 0.934.
