It provides a comprehensive understanding of the various factors involved in optimizing machine performance and improving stitch quality, from proper needle and thread selection to the mechanical interactions and forces involved in sewing machine operation. Additional focus is given to embroidery machines, spacer stitching technology, automated sewing stations, and modern equipment for quality control during the sewing process. Readers will also learn how to calculate thread consumption for different stitch classes. The book will interest both researchers and industry professionals working in the apparel industry, textile production/manufacturing, and design assembly processes. It will also benefit graduate students taking courses in Apparel Technology, Sewing Technology, Sewing Processes, and Joining Technology of Textiles.
