How to Calculate Thread Consumption for Garments?
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
