The difference between knitted and woven garments in sewing process


The sewing process of knitted garments and woven garments is very different. The biggest difference is the type of stitch used. Due to the stretchability and dispersion of the knitted fabric, the stitches required for sewing must be compatible with the stretchability and strength of the knitted fabric, so that the sewing product has a certain degree of elasticity and fastness, and prevents cyclic disintegration. For parts that are often stretched, seams with good elasticity should be used.
Woven garments use more lock stitches, while knitted garments use chain stitches. However, the design of the sewing process should choose different stitches and different stitch densities according to different fabrics and different clothing parts to meet the stretchability of knitted garments and the fastness of stitches. For example, chain stitches or wrap stitches are used for more stretched parts such as stitching, hem, cuff curling, etc. between panels; piping, curling, hemming, stretch stitching, and trimming are used for stretch stitching. Sewing stitches, with high strength and elasticity, can make the stitches smooth; only in the parts of the clothes that are not easy to stretch, such as cuffs, pocket edges, and signs, use small elastic locking needles. Therefore, the sewing equipment of knitted garments is much more complicated than that of woven garments.
In addition, we should also pay attention to the use of various design methods according to the pros and cons of the fabric, and choose different knitted fabrics according to different types of clothing. For example, the jersey is light and thin, with sweat absorption, breathability, smoothness and other properties. Suitable for designing all kinds of straight T-shirts. If the collar, sleeves, pockets, placket and other parts through the color or material to change, will be more novel and unique. Easy to wear, can adapt to a variety of occasions.
Knitted flannel and cotton wool are soft and elastic, and can be designed into a simple sports and leisure style, and then inlaid stitching and other techniques, which can be used in material selection, color, proportion and thread. Chic and expert in effect. Knitted sweater texture light and soft, more elastic, look relaxed and natural, comfortable and casual, full of personality. You can make some beautiful color and pattern designs on the clothes, or change the collar and sleeves. A sense of time and high quality will be met. involuntarily left. Of course, if you ignore the characteristics of knitted fabrics and simply pursue complex structural modeling, it will inevitably lead to counterproductive results, resulting in a large deviation between the actual wearing effect and the design. Therefore, the focus of knitted clothing design is to grasp the performance of the fabric, according to the characteristics of the fabric to make style, structure and process design choices.
