ABSTRACT
Even a small sewing thread failure leads to losses on investments in material, equipment, garment engineering and labour. Sewing performance and seam quality could be influenced by sewing thread parameters, selection of proper thread and utilisation of thread. Sewing thread is a unique type of yarn, engineered and constructed to move through a needle and other components of a sewing machine swiftly. The fundamental task of a sewing thread is to produce aesthetic and performance in stitches and seams (Shaeffer 2000; Coats 2003).
