Description
If you are looking for high-quality apparel that meets the industry standards, you need to pay attention to the seams and stitches of the garments. Seams and stitches are the basic elements that join the fabric pieces together and give shape and detail to the garment. They also affect the strength, elasticity, durability, security and appearance of the garments.
For use in the clothing industry, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) developed a thorough classification system for stitches and seams. The ASTM classification facilitates the process of determining the optimal stitch and seam types for various fabrics, garments, and end uses for manufacturers, buyers, and consumers.
The ASTM classification divides stitches into six classes, based on their formation and structure. Each class has several types and subtypes, depending on the number and position of needle and looper threads, the interlacing pattern and the stitch density. The ASTM classification also defines 11 classes of seams, based on the configuration and arrangement of fabric plies and stitches. Each class has several types and subtypes, depending on the number and direction of stitching lines, the edge treatment and the seam allowance.
By following the ASTM classification, you can ensure that your apparel has the optimal seams and stitches for its intended purpose.
