Abstract
The study aims to establish significant fabric
and thread mechanical properties that influence seam
strength sewn with different parameters using Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM). Fabrics were tested for their
mechanical properties using Kawabata Evaluation System
(KES) and Fabric Assurance for Simple Test (FAST).
Seam was constructed using different types of threads,
stitches and needles. It was found that SEM was able to
identify the thread and fabric mechanical properties that
highly correlated with the seam strength. The selection of
these properties gives the apparel manufacture guideline
on the best selection of sewing parameters to achieve
minimum failure of the seam.
