Sewing
thread is required for seam sewing/assembling, overlocking, various types of
stitching, buttonholing, label attachment etc. Clear conception in sewing
thread consumption calculation of garments is essential for a merchandiser to
estimate the total number of cones required for a specific order and to
purchase the sewing thread accordingly.
There
are two methods usually used to determine the sewing thread consumption:
1.
Measuring the actual length of sewing thread consumed in a specific length of
seam.
2.
Calculating the sewing thread consumption by using mathematical stitch formula
based on stitch class, stitches per inch (SPI),
thickness of the seam, thread tension, thread count etc.
Following
is a list of thread consumption of different sewn garments. This list is based
on typical garment construction.
