I have lots of seam failures and reworks after the wash process with my existing thread quality. How do I solve this issue?

I get different shades after garment dye process, why is this?
The dye uptake depends on many parameters such as cotton type, quality, finish etc and any difference in these parameters between the fabric and thread will result in shade difference.
How to I determine seam strength?
Stitch type, seam type, thread type and size etc. play vital roles in seam strength. Choosing all these properly can enhance seam strength. A generic formula is available to determine seam strength: For lockstitch = Stitch per inch (SPI) x Thread breaking strength (STS) x 1.5 For chainstitch = Stitch per inch (SPI) x Thread […]
