Effect of sewing on Strength behaviour of fabrics and fusing of interlining

Purpose - The most important incorporated component of clothes is the fusible interlinings.If the shell fabric is the component that directly influences the appearance of the cloth, then the interlining is the component that improves the aesthetic and applicable properties of the cloth. In the present study, the effect of sewing and fusing of interlining on strength behaviour of fabrics is investigated. Design /methodology/approach – The effect of sewing and fusing of interlining on strength behaviour of fabrics is investigated. Comparisons were also made between different seams and different types of interlinings for their effect on strength behavior of fabrics. Findings – Strength has a good to strong correlation with seams used for sewn and interlining fused fabrics. Strength changes with the types of seams used as well as with the interlining used. Originality/value – This paper provides information on the effects of sewing (seams types) and fused interlining on strength behavior of men,s suiting fabrics
