How to choose fabrics in garment production?

Fabrics used in garment manufacturing can be divided into two categories: attributes and characteristics. The attributes are static physical dimensions, such as yards per pound. Rather, their characteristic is the reaction of the fabric when a force is applied. Elongation, elasticity, shrinkage and seam strength are examples of features. These are measures of response to dynamic conditions. A characteristic is a physical or chemical change caused by an external force acting on the fabric.

Fabric Selection Guide

In sewing projects, the choice of fabric for the project is one of the very important steps. Therefore, choosing the wrong structure can mean a very failed project! Fortunately, for any pattern, there are usually several "right" fabric options.

How to produce smooth Tencel Lyocell fabric?

Calender can make hairiness stick on the cloth surface, giving people the illusion of smoothness. After washing, it will reveal its original shape, which is common in the pre-shrinkage of Lyocell fabric. Burning is to burn off the hairiness on the cloth surface at high temperature, which is subject to the temperature of the burning machine and the inverted state of hairiness on the cloth surface, and cannot be completely smooth. mercerizing not only has the effect of removing long hairiness on cloth surface, but also can produce internal collapse effect of ring spinning yarn, the yarn becomes more compact, the cohesion is enhanced, and the problem of linting during use is improved. Enzyme polishing has the best finishing effect, but it will reduce the strength of the fabric and reduce the abrasion resistance and wet friction fastness of the fabric. It is widely used in cylinder dyeing Lyocell fabrics. Adding crosslinking agent in dyeing and post-finishing is also a common method now.
