INTRODUCTION

Fashion is a specialized way of adorning the body. Travelers and explorers were the
the first to document and comment on the body adornments and styles of dress they found in
around the world. Some returned from their travels with drawings and examples of clothing, provoking a

The functions of clothing have focused on four aspects: utility, modesty, boldness, and adornment.

Utility.- Clothing has evolved to find many practical and protective uses.
the environment is harsh, and the body needs to maintain an average temperature that ensures the
blood circulation and comfort. The dress reformers have prioritized utility over
aesthetic considerations. For example, in 1850, the publicist Amelia Broomer highlighted how impractical it was.
what it was to wear the crinoline and defended the use of women's pants, called pantaletas or bombachos.

Modesty.- We need clothes to cover our nakedness, society demands decency and often
promulgates laws to control extravagance and support decorum. Most people feel
insecure when exposing her physical imperfections, especially as they get older,

Assembly.- Joining two or more pieces of wood through cuts that produce projections or
spikes in one of them and fit with others. The assembly can be made at an angle,
joining by the ends or joining by the edges. From this concept we can deduce that the

TYPES OF ASSEMBLY

There are three types of assemblies: by gluing, by sewing, and by thermal fixing. BY GLUING.- This
the system aims to join pieces of garments and/or articles, through gluing either with rubber or
resins resistant to frequent use that give to that object, for example leather garments, wallets,
wallets, planners, phone holders, caps, home decorations like pencil holders, jewelry boxes,
powders, keychains, and other items that the person's skill and taste can create.

BY SEWING.- In this system, work is done using a sewing machine and threads.

distributed homogeneously. In this system, there are two basic types, one for those that have
plato-thermal press- fixing, and two of those who have thermal-fixing machines.
SEWING TECHNOLOGY

The fundamental element of sewing is the sewing machine. Regarding the machine, it is advisable to make
two points, first of all, under such a name includes a large number of machines that
they can perform numerous operations / some of them highly specialized. However, the type
The most widely used machine is the so-called "flat/this is a flat-base machine, of a
needle, two threads, simple feed and double stitch (301)

Secondly, the technological action performed by the sewing machine is complemented with the
action of the worker, constituting this set the workplace, with which the element
sewing machine is nothing more than a tool placed in the hands of the person to perform the
operation of 'sewing' with greater speed and less effort. The result of this operation will depend on
both factors, the technical and the human.

The fundamental mission of the sewing machine is to join two or more fabrics, or to embellish them.
through the sewing thread as an element of union or decoration. The parameters involved in the
sewing is mainly:

Type of stitch
Type of stitching
The sewing needle
The sewing thread
The towing system

THE STITCH

Concept.- The stitch is the unit of interlacing or binding of one or several threads together and to
through, or inside, a material at uniform intervals.

To make the stitch, each machine has its own mechanisms coordinated by means of shafts,
cranks, rods, eccentrics, gears, belts, and other types of joints and devices
motion transmission.

There are, therefore, various types of machines according to this technological differentiation:

Simple chain stitch machines


Double stitching machines
Double chain stitch machines
Cover stitch machines
Overlock sewing machines

The formation of any stitch is carried out in the following steps:

1. Penetration.- The needle penetrates the tissue introducing the thread.


[Link].- When the needle rises, after reaching its lowest points in its path, the thread
temporarily held due to contact with the material that has penetrated a
loop.

3. Shaping - It is the arrangement of the thread on top, underneath, and inside the material. At this stage it i

4. Detachment - It occurs when the needle thread loop, after it has wrapped around the thread

stitch.
5. Adjustment.- The threads that form the stitch are pulled up and tightened, ensuring the

STITCH FORMATION

Formation of the simple chain stitch 101.

The process of forming stitch 101 is represented below:

In phase I, it is observed how the two breasts are pierced by needle A, while anchor B,
which has an oscillating movement, is away from the needle.

In phase II, the needle rises, leaving a loop of thread inside which the anchor penetrates.

In phase III, the thread loop is held by the anchor, while the needle returns during its ascent.
transfer the threads, which advance the space like a stitch according to the direction of the date.

And finally, in phase IV, the needle descends, passes through the fabrics, and penetrates into the loop of retained thread.

by the anchor. From here the cycle repeats obtaining stitch 101.

FORMATION OF THE DOUBLE STITCH STITCH 301

Stitch 301 is made up of a needle thread and a bobbin thread.

Below the stitching area is the bobbin located inside a capsule surrounded by
the rotating spiral as shown in the following figure.
The breakdown of the entire set where the faucet is integrated is shown in the following figure.

FORMATION OF THE DOUBLE CHAIN STITCH 401

Stitch 401 results from the coordination of the needle and anchor movements (with thread),
representing their process in the figure

In stage I, the two fabrics seen in cross-section are pierced by needle A, while the
Anchor B, provided with its thread, waits for the moment to act.

In stage II, the anchor penetrates behind the needle into the loop of the needle thread left when
this goes up.

In stage III the needle finishes its ascent, leaving the tissues that advance the length of a stitch.
towards the back of the figure, while the anchor holds the loop of the needle's thread.
Finally, in stage IV, the needle penetrates the fabrics again and at the same time enters the loop.
from the anchor thread, and then repeat the cycle.

FORMATION OF OVERLOCK STITCHES 503-504

The stitch 503 is formed by a needle thread and an anchor thread; it also acts on the part
inferior of the machine another anchor without thread.

Stitch 504 is made up of a needle thread and two anchor threads. The formation process of
stitches 503-504 are represented in figures 5.10 A and 5.10 B

FORMATION OF THE COVER STITCH 602

Stitch 602 is made up of two needle threads, one anchor lower covering thread, and a
upper covering thread of a distributor (figure 5.12 A). Each needle creates its chain.
while the anchor penetrates the loops of thread left by the needles, it deposits the thread that
it will cover the seam at the bottom. So that the anchor thread is trapped by the threads of
the needles are necessary, that the position of the anchor corresponds once in front of the needles, and another
behind. The upper covering thread goes behind the loop of a needle and then in front of the loop
from the other needle before it penetrates the material. (Figure 5.12 B)

Adjust the threads that form the stitch are pulled up and tightened ensuring the linkage in
the gender (see previous graph)

TYPES OF STITCHES

The elemental base of sewing - the unit of interlacing - is the stitch, and a series of stitches.
Successive stitches of the same configuration define a type of stitch.

Stitches are divided into six main groups, each of which contains various types of stitches.
Two more groups are added to these main ones:

Group stitch 100 simple chain stitch

It is made up of one or more threads introduced from the side of the material only. It is used for a
temporary stitching or for invisible stitch.
Stitch group 200 hand stitch

It is made up of simple threads passed from one side to the other of the material and successive penetrations of the

Needle. It can also be done by machine (imitation of hand).

Stitch group 300 double topstitch

It is formed by the thread or threads of a needle inserted from one side of the material, which is
intertwine with a lower thread supplied from a tap on the other side.

The simplest one, type 301, has a similar appearance on both sides and good seam strength.
abrasion. The disadvantage is the limited length of sewing possible before having to replace the
faucet

Stitch group 400 double chain stitch

This type differs from the 100 in that it uses an additional lower or anchor thread and this generally remains
on the lower surface of the material and the needle's thread passes through it to balance the
stitch.

It can be formed with low tensions, thereby increasing the extensibility of the seam and has a
productivity advantage over the double stitch because the threads are fed directly
of bobbins and not spool holders. The disadvantage is that it has less resistance to unravelling than the one from

stitching and which are bulkier under the seam.

Group 500 overlocking stitch


It is made up of one or more threads of the needle and/or the anchor, with at least one of the threads passing through

on the edge of the material that is being sewn. There are many variations within this class that
it incorporates from 1 to 4 threads, of which only one is a needle thread. It is generally used to join the
cut edges of a layer of fabric or to sew and finish the edge of two layers in a single operation,
particularly in knit fabric since the stitch configuration has excellent
extensibility.

Within this type of stitch, there are various types that incorporate two needle threads. The second thread
the needle is inserted a little further from the cut edge, providing greater security to the seam
comparison with the single needle version.

Stitch group 500 covering stitch

The types of stitch in this class generally use between two and four needle threads, usually one thread of
anchor and one or two covering threads. The covering thread or the covering threads are located above
from the upper surface and are held by the threads of the needle, and the thread or threads of the anchor are
they intertwine with all the threads of the needle under the fabric.

All these stitches are highly elastic and produce flat seams. In addition to these six groups
The main stitches have two additional groups that derive from the previous ones.

The sewing thread

the thread can be of two types:

TYPES AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SEWING THREADS

Cotton threads are of three types:

Smooth

Mercerized

Polished

The soft threads do not receive any special treatment other than bleaching or dyeing and the
uniform application of a low-friction lubricant.

Mercerized threads are threads treated under tension in a caustic soda solution.

The polished threads are produced from soft threads, which have been hardened and protected.
by applying a special finish to the surface.

Cotton threads generally provide good sewing performance, but their resistance to
abrasion is lower than that of synthetic threads of the same thickness. However, they are less affected.
due to the heat of the needle that the synthetics experience during sewing.

Soft cotton threads generally have a high moisture shrinkage that can cause
wrinkled at the seams after washing. The mercerized cotton threads have a tensile strength
higher and a greater brightness than soft cotton ones. They can produce gathers at the seams
after washing.

The polished cotton threads (glacé) are stiffer, but they have a greater resistance to abrasion.

Synthetic thread types can be classified into:

are more suitable for decorative textiles

Textured threads have a soft touch, great extensibility, and good elastic recovery.
They are designed for seam coating operations

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE THREAD AND THE NEEDLE

Once the type of fiber and thread type have been decided, consideration must be given to the thickness of the thread.

The main numbering systems that exist internationally for sewing threads are:

Metric numbering Nm

English Cotton Counting No

System Tex
Label number No

The first three mentioned are used in the textile sector, while the system, of number of

The label number, with the usual symbol No and Nr, is derived from the metric Nm, but does not reveal

cables, although it consists of more or less.

Example

No 120 it can be Nm 80/2 ó Nm 120/3

No 100 it may be Nm 65/2 ó Nm 100/3

The appropriate sewing depends on the relationships between the thread, the needle, and the material.

A very thick needle can give very poor control of the thread, in which case, the tip of the

irregularities with the risk of breaking the needle. On the other hand, a needle that is too thick in a
very thin sewing material increases the risk of damaging it and creating gathers in the
seams due to the distortion of the material.

It is important to emphasize that the thickness of the needle is not solely dependent on the thickness of the fabrics, but

also of the seam strength and this depends on the thread strength, the stitch length
and of the type of stitch.

The seam angle, with respect to the direction of the warp, is important in terms of
seam resistance, as shown in figure 5-25.
To help achieve the correct balance between the thread size and the needle, manufacturers of
Threads have prepared tables that indicate some of the suggested relationships of thread measurements and
needle. One of them is the one shown in table 5-6.

TYPES OF SEAMS AND STITCHES

Sewing is understood as a series of stitches that join two or more pieces of material and

used to join the pieces in the production of sewn items.

It is embroidered with a series of stitches used for ornamentation, to give

finish the edges or reinforce some part of the garment.

The seams and stitches are divided into six large groups, in each of which there are

various types:

SS group seams; overlapping seams

This group of seams is characterized by the fact that the material pieces are

overlaid and joined by one or more rows of stitches.

Group L seams $: lapped seams


This group of seams is characterized by being overlapping at the edges and

joined by one or more rows of stitches.

Group B Sewing: piped seams

This group of seams is characterized by being formed by a trim.

fold that covers the edge of one or more pieces and is attached to it by one or more

rows of stitches.

Group OS stitches: decorative topstitches

This group of stitches has the general characteristic that a series of stitches are

incorporated into the material in a straight line, curve, or following an ornamental drawing.

Seams Group E F; finishing stitches of the hem

This group of stitches has the general characteristic that a series of stitches are

situated on or over the edge of the bent or unbent material, or as in the OS group that

the edge of the material is folded and joined to the body with a series of stitches.

The different types of seams and topstitching are designated and identified by two

uppercase letters (group reference) followed by one or two lowercase letters and a

number preceded by a dash (number of rows of stitches).

The emergence of interlinings marked a significant advancement in the garment industry, favoring a
better balance of the different parts of the garment and providing it with greater reliability and
resistance.

Interlinings arise from the need to highlight certain shapes, to give volume to the

what eliminated the discomfort in touch. Later, fabrics were developed with horsehair or hair of
camel, which constituted an armor of rough fabric with great elasticity and was inserted between the lining
and the facial tissue, whether sewn or glued

In the 1960s, thermal adhesive appeared, which has the drawback of color changes that
produces in fabrics of certain shades at specific temperatures. For example, navy blue
changes to red when subjected to a temperature above 150° C

Definition of thermoadhesive interfacing

It is a piece of textile material that can adhere to another material (fabric or skin) by the action of heat and
pressure. To achieve this, the interlinings are coated with a certain amount of adhesive in the form of
uniformly distributed throughout the entire length of the fabric piece. The fusible interlinings are

THE SEWING MACHINE

BRIEF HISTORY .- In the 19th century, when the first technological changes are witnessed, the
Machine sewing replaces hand sewing. There were numerous attempts and many people
soon his collaboration, so his technical inventor cannot be named. Krembs in Germany in
In 1800, Ducan in Scotland invented a machine that made chain stitch. In 1814, the
Tirolés Madersperger managed to create a model capable of making a true seam, but it
it remained in the prototype. Fifteen years later, the French tailor Thimonnier built and patented a
wooden machine, starting up a laboratory of eighty machines to sew the uniforms
of the army, but the envy of the competitors forced him to flee to England.

The attempts multiplied more and more frequently and, finally, Isaac Mevitt Singer, in
1850, improving and combining the principles already studied by others and adding
important mechanisms invented by him, presented the first true sewing machine in which
the movement of the needle was transmitted through gears and not with cranks, as in models
previous ones. Singer, to make the purchase of the machine accessible to everyone, also devised the system of
installment payments and thus, the revolutionary invention spread all over the world.

Naturally, over the years, the models were becoming more and more refined to allow for greater
time and labor savings. The zig-zag machines, eyelet machines, embroidery machines, etc. were not enough. And
increasingly sophisticated, up to those of the new generation, the electronics with more than 350
mechanical parts have been organized by a true electronic brain, everything is automatic and the
work capabilities are infinite,

Like cars, sewing machines are also of different brands, but they are similar in what they
fundamental: they all have in common the result of their work, that is, the union of two fabrics by means of
A stitch. The stitch is formed by two threads, the upper (or needle thread) and the lower (or thread
from the tap), tied in the center of the fabric. When the needle enters the fabric, the thread from the needle

stitches of equal length straight and well-formed, it is necessary that the different mechanisms
they function perfectly. It is essential that the presser foot, the needle, and the feed dog move.
It is done correctly. Indeed, while the fabric press holds the fabric, the needle pierces it and goes to the bobbin.
To form the stitch, the pull brings the fabric to the exact position.

Regardless of the model, there are some basic parts in any sewing machine, these

CLASSIFICATION OF SEWING MACHINES BY THEIR SHAPE

The shapes of sewing machines have been designed to facilitate the various sewing tasks.
These can be classified into six categories.

PLAN - consists of a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that ends in the head of the machine, and
it can be short-arm 25 cm, long-arm 30 cm, and long-arm more than 30 cm, the base of the
the machine is flat, at table level.

MONQBLOC - machine that lacks an arm. The movement organs are short and are located
sealed in a hermetic casing. Due to their design, they can achieve high speeds, the plane
The work is situated laterally, allowing only seams at the edge of the fabrics.
COLUMN - this machine is characterized because the worktable is located at the part
superior of a column in which the drag organs are located.

CIUNDRICA is characterized because the work surface is higher than the tabletop.
The material to be worked on can rotate around its base.

The base of this machine is tubular or conical in shape, in some cases the tube is oriented.

CLASSIFICATION OF SEWING MACHINES BY TYPE OF WORK

In our environment, there is a wide variety of industrial sewing machines, and they are classified into
according to the type of work they do, which implies a high degree in many of them
specialization and can be divided into:

of straight sewing

the zigzag

about serging or overlocking

to weave

to pick up buttons

the invisible stitch or embroiderer

to cover

of the chain

The types of machines previously mentioned can be divided based on working times into
two large groups:

Cyclic type machines

Non-cyclic type machines

To calculate the sewing times in cyclic type machines, for clips, buttons, buttonholes, it is necessary to
take into account the number of times the needle goes down to form the stitches of each loop,
button or buttonhole. The rise and fall time of the needle is calculated as follows.

In non-cyclic machines, stitching times depend on the length of the stitch.
