Stitch: Stitch is very important during  manufacturing a garment . Stitch can be defined as, one unit of conformation resulting from one or more strands or loops of thread by intra-looping, inter-looping and interlacing. Stitch quality is measured with stitch size, stitch length, width, depth, tension, sequence, elongation, elasticity, resilience, fabric distortion, yarn severance and abrasive strength. There are six types of stitch, which are deeply discussed in this article. Types of Stitch Used in Garments: There are different types of stitch used in garments; those are mentioned in the following: 1.     Class-100 (Chain Stitch), 2.     Class-200 (Hand Stitch), 3.     Class-300 (Lock Stitch), 4.     Class-400 (Multi Thread Stitch), 5.     Class-500 (Over Edge Stitch), 6.     Class-600 (Covering Chain Stitch). All the above types of stitch have discussed in the below: 1. Class-100 (Chain Stitch): Class-100 named as chain stitch, which is produced by one

There is a standard formula for determining thread consumption for apparel products. In that formula, you will get multiplying factors according to machine type and stitch class. To determine thread consumption you just need to multiply seam length with those factors. This way one can estimate the total thread requirement for making a garment. Actual thread consumption for a unit length of seam depends on the following factors.  Stitch Classes Stitches per inches (SPI) The thickness of the seam (fabric thickness) Thread tension   Thread count (thickness of sewing thread) So you are suggested to calculate garment thread consumption by your own. You can develop a multiplying factor according to your product categories and requirement using the following steps. Step 1:  To calculate thread ratio, you need a sewing machine, fabric and sewing thread that will be used for bulk production. For fabric and thread, you can take similar thickness and same thread count in ca

Method of Knit Fabric Consumption: Knit fabric consumption should be done by using the following formula- Fabric consumption per dozen, (All measurements in cm), Note: Types of fabric and fabric GSM will be confirmed by the buyer. For body length and sleeve length, approximate sewing allowance (12cm) should be needed at body hem, shoulder joint, sleeve hem and armhole joint. For chest width, approximate sewing allowance (6cm) should be needed at both side seams. And approximate fabric wastage in various stages is 10%. Now, I will provide an example for knit fabric consumption in the following. After that, all the confusion about the above discussion will be cleared I think. Example: Suppose, one of the buyer has provided you the following measurement chart of a basic T-Shirt by mentioning the order quantity and  fabric GSM . (Where Fabric is 100% cotton single jersey and fabric GSM is 160 and order quantity is 10000pcs). Then calculate the fabric consumption for this
