Fabric Puckering
FUNDAMENTALS OF CLOTHING CONSTRUCTION 3(1+2)
Fabric Puckering
|
- Tension is too tight.
- Stitch too long for fabric being sewn, especially on fine fabric.
- Wrong presser foot used.
- Puckered threads across seams are due to a blunt needle or too large a needle.
- Stitch too short for synthetic and easy care fabrics.
- With automatic machines, the use of the plate with wide needle hole may cause straight seams to pucker.
- Upper thread and bobbin threads are of a different size and/or type.
- Pressure too heavy for fabric.
- Fabric pushed or pulled while stitching.
Remedies:
- Decrease stitch length.
- Replace the needle.
- Decrease the pressure on the fabric.
- Replace needle.
- Upper thread and bobbin thread to be of the same size.
